sneakerjunkie Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 anyone know of a company that makes a rear air spoiler/valance like this? or find one similar that i can custom fit for that matter, thanks in advance, for the 510 sedan Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Been discussed a lot already.They're under spoilers..... Spoiler mounted Upside down, measure the mounting locations on your car, go to the junkyard, find one that's close to your measurements and mount it.... upside down. Quote Link to comment
olderdat620 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just came from the ricer page- upside down spoiler, now I have seen everything Quote Link to comment
sneakerjunkie Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just came from the ricer page- upside down spoiler, now I have seen everything actually came from a japan based site, where i get my inspiration for a true japanese car enthusiast, tired of seeing the same super conservative 510s, rocking the same parts, ie bre front spoilers, libre wheels, etc. sorry i choose not to make my car look like yours. http://high-top-fade.blogspot.com you mite just learn something 2 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I want side spoilers. 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 you mite just learn something No real offense intended, since we all do this at times. But I crack up when I see grammar mistakes while telling someone off, or to learn a thing or two. But really not a knock, just funny. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Those japan cars look silly. Definitely not a Ratsun look. Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Oooooh! Under-ricer under-spoiler... will you drive it in your underwear? I'm different, I put magnet s on my oil filter. Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 That would look just retarded on a 510. I rank that up there with fake hood pins. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 That would look just retarded on a 510. I rank that up there with fake hood pins. Yeah maybe on an A10, but not a 510 Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yeah maybe on an A10, but not a 510Agreed it looks like something that belongs on a late 70s-80s car. Quote Link to comment
sneakerjunkie Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 im not trying to get something this similar, i dont really kno how to explain it, or what that part is actually called, theres an actual piece, "not a spoiler" that goes on cars there, i just want to test it and see what it would look like, i cant really tell but this looks it has one, something more like this is what im reffering too, i guess that first pic wasnt a good reference Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yea that's the name. The one in the orange car looks good. Quote Link to comment
RTB Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Still dont see the point. I understand the want to make your car look cool, but why do this? A diffuser will only work on a proper race car with some decent ground effect going on. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 That's not true. It may be most effective on a proper road car, but can still "work" on a street car. Quote Link to comment
johnbureezu Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Just make it. Looks easy enough. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 So this would create an up-force? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 depends on the angle I would assume. If the rear of it was pointing down it would want to make it lift, if the rear of it was pointing up that would create more of a down force. Just as if it was on top. After you get this under spoiler installed, a couple vtack stickers would make it complete. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 A diffuser stabalizes the air coming out from under the car at speed, an upside down spoiler under the back of a car would create lift at speed of course depending on the angle it is mounted. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 These arent even real spoilers... its a decorative piece from the trunks of non-performance oriented cars. I highly doubt youre going to get any lift from installing one upside down... Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 This is totally for looks and doesn't significantly do anything, so mount it anyway you like. It's the same with a rear deck spoiler. It's wind resistance is worse than not having one at all but on a 'real' race car the resistance is traded for more needed down force. When was the last time you ever mentioned "Gee I sure could use some more down force on the way to work, 'y know?". Spoilers on a street car are a fashion statement like a rising sun hood.

Wizeguy9999 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 For people saying it would create lift, that's not necessarily true. When air hits a planes wing the air that goes over the top will meet the air that goes under the wing at the same time at the back of the wing. This is why wings have a flat side and a curved side. Since the air meets at the same time, the two air paths will travel at different speeds. With different speeds the force it can place on the wing is different. So the side that imparts the higher force wins out. In a planes case it's the bottom, and thus it lifts a plane. (This is also why in descent you see them change the flaps on the wing... it inverts which side has the greater force.) Long story short... it depends on how the "under-spoiler" is constructed of whether it would create lift or down force. SCIENCE!! All that being said... That looks retarded bro...
