Stayer. Produce rear spoiler.
Hi people!
In this topic I want to talk about how you can make the rear spoiler. Yes, of course you can buy if it is on the market. And if there isn't? For example, for upgraded Galant 9th gen, I have nothing worthwhile is not found. Except that it.

However, I do not like this option. It doesn't work in aerodynamics. First you need to understand why you need a spoiler, and then to do. I think you will be interested to read this thread.

So, why the need for a rear spoiler? This aerodynamic element which allows to correct the flow of air after the car. Do not confuse the spoiler and the wing. The wing creates downforce, but really spoils the aerodynamics. The task of the spoiler to keep the upper part of the flow smooth. The airflow from under the car already spoiled and it is turbulent. Therefore, it is important to lower the air flow is connected to the top very smoothly. This gives some advantages in the form of lower resistance or lower fuel consumption. Here are a couple of spoilers for drag racing. It's certainly a monster. But shows how it works.

As you can see in the photo above, the lower part of the spoiler doesn't matter. It is important to extend the upper flow of air as long as possible.
So the spoiler has two functions. Practical and decorative. Most modified cars have this element. For Galant 9 (2004-08) a modification of Ralliart and GTS which had a factory spoiler.

For subsequent modifications is missing. This must be corrected.

When I long doing nothing, I get bored. Hee-hee.
There are many ways and materials for manufacturing. In other topics I was shown different options. In this case, I want to tell you how to make polypropylene.
This is good stuff. Its good to handle, it is light, not afraid of cold.So, what do we need? Cheap polypropylene can be bought in the hardware store. This is a common tank for construction. Costs 6 dollars. Paper tape and a soldering iron. Enough to start.

To start glue over paper tape intended place of work. And do preliminary layout.
You can cut a part from the tank.

It has a radius which conforms to the surface of the trunk.

Now you can start to weld parts using a soldering iron.

Each part connected to a paper tape.

It is important that all parts fit tightly to the surface.

In the same way, solder the bottom part.

Don't see what it looks scary, then everything will be smooth and beautiful.

After the base, it is necessary to make a pocket for the stop signal.

Next, select from cardboard the shape of the spoiler.

And cut these parts are made of polypropylene.

Parts are very similar, but they are not the same. It shows if all pieces together.

Therefore, parts must be processed and to do the same.
For this we need to make a common block. Drilling two holes and to pull the bolts.

After processing, the parts are the same.

Then you can solder the parts according to layout.

All the rest the same.

Next you need to make the tail. According to the overall design, round design not combined with square design. Therefore, if the overall design of the car round, you have to do the round part. To do this, take the water pipe PP-half inch. And make the cuts.

The pipe is worn on the shank. It is necessary to set the height and solder.

Soldered pipe and formed the General contour of the spoiler.

The spoiler was quite rigid in torsion. Now it can be removed for processing and further work. Until all.
