I'm thinking of doing a hardtop spoiler for under $50.
What are your ideas for materials to make it out of? I was thinking bath tub liner, white board material, or some type of lexan. Maybe sheet metal?

some dude made a ton of shit out of foam, no?
cardboard coated in something strong.
ummmm...
idk, get the shit that dude posted ^
I decided to go with a 48"x24"x0.08" sheet of lexan. The spoiler is cut just needs to have the edges filed, heated into place, and painted.
I split the costs with a friend on the lexan and we came out at about $11 a person. We are also making one for his 2004 RX-8.
DIY writeup is in the works
It's all done and waiting on the paint to finish curing before I stick it on

Not bad for a first attempt. Waiting for the write up. How did you bend and curve the lexan, and did both sides come out even?

The left side has a spot where I bent it too soon and couldn't get it completely flat again, but I just kinda eyeballed it as I went and used a heat gun with an aluminum pipe to roll and bend it. Takes two people to do this part.
I should have the writeup finished tonight
wow wtf, do not support that shit.
What's your problem azzhole?!
I think he meant the knock off Gwing on ebay

A good product WILL be copied, always going to happen. Something like a g-wing has been done on many other cars before project-g even did it so I mean even though it sucks due to project-g being such a great company that comes out with top notch awesome products, I dont think getting upset over cheaper versions being made is called for. If your upset, fuck it buy it straight from project-g. No need to shit on this guys thread due to ebay knock offs being found.
Thanks man! People seem to get butthurt about anything now days. I guess this is similar to the real vs. fake wheel argument. My take is some people have more money than others. There will always be a difference in quality or else they would all be the same price. If everyone had the money there would be no need for fake stuff. Kinda like knock off coach bags or oakleys, it just happens. And if you have the real deal you're that much more awesome than others
