My Custom New Spoiler Wing

That looks way cooler than it should.

Gotta admit, I like the looks of that. I wouldn't add it, but I like the look.

What would be really cool, though, is if it cleaned up the airflow in the back behind the tailgate so the rear camera stayed clean...

@TheDarkRanger do you own a flame suit?
something with lots of Kevlar?
I worry for your safety on here with all the proud beast tamers

1.160 million miles in everything from F700 dump truck, to Chevy Spectrum, fire engines (City and wildland fire) to 24 ton excavator (which is even slower than a CT) and of course M3, M-Y, S-Palladium, X-performance and yet zero.zero accidents. I'm probably just lucky.

So check back in another million miles and see if I'm still alive.

PRO TIP: Uniden makes the best radar detectors but all you need is the R7 above that and you be detecting cops at >10-miles /to 4-minutes.

VERY COOL!

My son uses his CyberTruck for his welding business. He's good at stainless steel. I'll have to see if he wants to add that to product line.

I just wish our CyberTrucks were fast enough to need a spoiler. Nothing sucks more than losing a race to a Kia.

You mentioned him being a welder. I’ve made this out of fiberglass and carbon fiber. It’s also well insulated with foam board and I installed a large RV window as a skylight for stargazing.
there were some metal shells out there on the market that were expensive and not insulated so I got creative

It’s a no from me dawg

Are you saying you drove 160 million miles in your lifetime?

why would you want one? its a truck not a sports car! Not for me. But everybody has there own visions.

I had a new spoiler built for my Manitoba FS. The top is stainless steel, and the bottom is painted steel. The builder even made little CTs for the end caps. Talented fellow.

Before anyone asks, he made it quite clear that he will never make another one. A pain in the ass to weld stainless. Ha. Oh well. I got one.

Any other new spoilers? I'm sure some are getting quite inventive.

Does it work?

very cool. looks well made, but how do you load into the bed? is it easily removable? does it keep the rear camera clear in the rain?

I don't really haul much with my CT. It's more of a toy. Nor have I had any problems with the rear camera. It can be removed with 8 bolts/screws per side. Thanks for the response.

I might be wrong, but looking at the profile, that’s a wing. It’ll provide no downforce, instead it’ll actually provide lift. I know it’s just for looks, but could be a problem at high speeds, may hurt range.

The fellow who built it an aeronautics engineer. I asked for something that was neutral and I believe that's what he built. BTW. If that little wing was to influence the rear of a 7,000 pound truck I estimate my speed to be somewhere north of 150 mph. It's a Cybertruck and I'm 66 years old. I think we're safe with this one. haha

 

[Merc_s55]

Just perfect!!

Thank you.

 

[Merc_s55]

Im guessing that’s only the ends to facilitate the CT profile on the edge but it does look like the middle is round at the bottom and flat at the top.

It's the same all the way across. Should be neutral.

 

[Merc_s55]

Why?

Why not?
Okay. Now we're getting philosophical. Haha

 

[Merc_s55]

That’s badass!

That’s badass. Bolt on 50 horsepower I’m making my own camper shell. Did it take long to do? What did you make the mould out of?

Thank you.
It took him a while to build. It's not a mold. It's many individual pieces welded together.

 

[Merc_s55]

It does look like an airfoil. Maybe the lift will exceed the drag, make the rear a bit lighter and increase range (but maybe reduce traction); with the air directed over the tonneau it’s difficult to ascertain the effective angle of attack. (Just sayin…). It certainly looks very cool!

Thank you. I seriously doubt it will affect a 7,000 pound truck on anything less than 150 mph. It's just there for looks. I even had a limo I put a spoiler on. That's just who I am. ha.
