When I had the ST202 I really liked the look of the 3 post spoiler.
When I upgraded to the ST205 I had the WRC spoiler with blocks. I tried the all carbon WRC look but never did quite liked it so I went spoiler less for a few years now.

Now I've managed to get the look I wanted.
The Esprit spoiler looks a lot like the ST202 3 post but raised like the GT4.
I mad some custom spoiler legs to seat the 6G boot perfectly.

Haters are gona hate especially the die hard GT4 fans but I love the new look and here's a polite **** you cos I'm loving this look. smile.gif

In term of performance it didn't create much of a drag. The last few days I emptied a full tank and managed to get 290 miles doing motorway driving average 80mph.
The week before I had the spoiler I achieved 300 miles from a full tank doing the same journey.

In the past when I removed the WRC spoiler I instantly noticed a lot of swaying at speeds over 70mph especially when going over sudden mild hills and drops on the motorway.

Now with this spoiler it feels pretty much the same as my old WRC and is set to the same angle as my old WRC spoiler.
Very stable on the motorways and actually quieter in the back too.
When cornering at the round about I am also able to hold a slightly higher speed before the tyres start screeching too.

So as a spoiler yes it works very well and I am very pleased with it.
The four is no F1 car so I doubt it'll be doing the tunnel thing. ;P
