I have a friend who may be willing to make these if enough people are interested... Would you want one, and how much would you be willing to pay?

For the top of the wagon? How much?

I was going to try to make one myself, but I'd buy it if it were low profile with the right price.

i dont know, i havent even spoken with him yet, figured i'd guage interest here first

Posted: **Mon Apr 12, 2004 9:40 pm**

If he doesn't have an autoclave, I'd need it to be paintable (which I'd prefer anyway).

Steve

something like this perhaps...

I'd prefer to have something that could be double sided taped on top of the current roof thing, but i'm not sure if that's possible

i dont really want it to stick up though... just add drag

You've got it exactly! Just a little something to add some stability out back. I need say no more - we are on the same page.

I'd be more than interested. Ive been trying to find a spoiler of some kind for a while.

Any guess at pricing?

Carbon Fiber or not, I'm in.

Chances are, stability would be unaffected. . . however, in many cases, a large enough duckbill will usually aid in keeping the rear window on wagons and hatchback free of dirt cavitation.

Either way, they look sweet!

Here Here. Looks more than downforce.

Still want one.

I beg to differ. I think it will help smoothe the turbulent airflow tumbling uncontrolled off the roof. Not that I think it'll mean zero lift.

I'll speak with joe this weekend... How much are you guys willing to pay?

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2004 4:05 am**

I shouldn't be spending the money now on this, but $100 or so. More if and when I get a damn job!

Steve

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2004 1:05 pm**

Up to 300 for me. But any higher than that... It would take serious thought on my part and that makes my head hurt.

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2004 6:37 pm**

i was expecting around $200. is that a go on 3, or more?

Posted: **Tue Apr 13, 2004 7:51 pm**

I can go that high...

Steve

Of course try to get it done the most cost effectively, but yes I would do 300 ready to be installed.

Then I suppose there is the question of material. CF or fiberglass. I would pay for either.

Posted: **Wed Apr 14, 2004 6:05 am**

i'd prefer cf, because it'd look cooler with a silver wagon, and i know joe knows how to do it

Posted: **Thu May 13, 2004 3:31 am**

Any word yet on the duckbill?

Posted: **Thu May 13, 2004 6:51 am**

Hmmm...I didn't even see this thread originally. I'm definitely interested.

I missed this the first 3 times around. I'd be interested too

Posted: **Sun Jul 04, 2004 6:45 am**

I'm out if it's still on. No money so I'll likely make my own out of fiberglass.

Steve

Posted: **Sun Jul 04, 2004 7:51 am**

i just spoke with my friend joe again, i have to make the mold, and that'll take me a while, but once i get that made, he'll make them. But... If i do this, i'm taking a cut of the duckbill profit. do people want them to go straight out, or flare up a bit?

Posted: **Fri Jul 09, 2004 1:27 pm**

Flared is fine. Kind of the SS camaro look

Posted: **Wed Jul 14, 2004 3:16 pm**

Add me to the interested list.
