Uuu it's mostly about weight savings. 
If I was that concerned about weight savings, I'd take the trunk lid off.. But since that'd look even more dumb than what most are making this trunklid out to be, I'll pass on that.. As for the lid, I really want to see the finished product before making up my mind, but I think it will actually look a lot better than made out to be.. I think the spoiler looks big because it's only in comparison the the trunk lid itself.. Once we see that spoiler on 3000lbs of metal, it might look toned down a little.. Give it a rest with all the hating, CF1 has gone out of their way for us, whether we agree with their business style or not..

Passed a CLK 500 on the way to lunch and I spotted to spoiler.

Scott60, Dion will probably not appreciate the before you were born comment, as he is most likely closer to your age than you think....I agree it looks like a Camaro wing from the pic supplied, bu that's what happens when you post one or two "prototype" pics and especially when it's not on the car itself. I'm just going to wait and see how this ends up before I actually think any more about it... One last thing, what was CF1 thinking when they went to an extreme like that without looking to their largest consumer base before doing it? A little risky if you ask me. And it's shown to be so far.

 Here is my WORST..... PHOTO..... CHOP..... EVER!!! If someone else wants to tackle this using a "fancy" program other than one that came with their canon printer  give it a shot. Just glancing at it.. I think the finished product will look killer.

Yes, Scott, I'm actually 35, my parents are the original owners of the Camaro. They purchased in back in Dec. 1968, right before they got married.
As for CF1, I seriously doubt that the Contour owners are their largest consumer base. They cater to a lot of different makes and models. But I do consider us the luckiest group as they make two hoods and one trunk, as well as the sail panels. They may not be to everyone's liking, but they produce parts for us.

What I meant by their largest consumer base, I should have specified more, is for Contour products. I know they make products for other makes/models, I was just saying that hopefully they can get enough of us to purchase an "extreme" product to cover their costs incurred on the project. Or hopefully they're doing well enough to take on a risky project like so and are prepared to take the hit.
Oh, and the weight savings comment is a joke hopefully...for a 3000 lb street car, removing 10 lbs from the rear is as easy as taking out a back seat or even the spare. Carbon Fiber is about the bling to 90% of the people who buy it. Carbon Fiber is to tuner guys what diamonds are to women.
