    Has anyone seen or have pics or sources for a rear spoiler other than a wing for th 355? Looking to see if there is any rear aero device more subtle than the very common "wing".

    thanks for the post...... ack.... not my cupa. however. I wonder if there exists just a lip, something small and subtle. more of a styling cue than a functional aero aid. maybe eve a small wing. that duck tail just doesn't quite work, tho it does work with the widened rear haunches.

    IMO, The best spoiler hands down... the one thats most beautifully matched, is boh distinguishing yet subtle, is the factory decklid already on your car.

    all those wings are way big. they may be in spirit of the Challenge cars but the far opposite of subtle. The factory deck lid is nice, but I think just a "little" augmentation would work well depending on how it could be better integrated with body lines. I'm sure y'all are familiar with the C8 Vette. It comes in 3 flavors: no spoiler, Z51 standard "winglet spoiler" and the big monster Chevrolet offers. My thinking is the range of the Z51 winglet spoiler. Works well with the body lines, but not an in your face racer wannabee. All these years, and really no alternative to the big wing or exaggerated duck-tail. Devils in the details. Just may have to unearth my old industrial design skills and learn mold making ;) I can see something like a shorty "wicker bill", just a very short strip along the highest point of the rear deck end. Pininifarina did good with the 355, but maybe it can be played with to some degree. It would be easier to find something off the shelf, but alas, the 355 is an older shelf and the market has moved on.
