Default Roof wing (ucf10/11)

I'm in the process of making a roof wing for the first gen LS. I want some input from you guys, also if or how many would be interested.
Now this is only a test piece to get the general idea how I want it to look like.

hard to tell since the curve can/cannot vary the amount the wing sticks out...

I might be interested, it depends on how it looks when it's done. Looks pretty good so far, let me know how it turns out!

I think we need a better idea of how it will look like before most people make the decision.

I like what I see so far, the width is perfect, not too long not too small. Oh, again, when you start selling them let me know I want one.

Can I see straight side shot? I wana get an idea of the angle of it. Looks good though. Also, what is that tail light cover for?

Btw, your farthest right tip seams to be sagging. Just FYI.
