Maybe both but I can't tell by the picture if that back edge scoops up a bit or if it's just a 90 degree angle to the trunk lid.

I doubt the spoiler moving up an inch or so is enough to dramatically change the downforce but the drag I would worry about. Sure most of us really won't ever see or notice the difference but what the hell is the point of something such as this if all it does is undo some of the functionality of the original design.

About the wing. Upon closer examination, it is definitely an VIII wing. Just seemed a little narrow.

After seeing that picture of the wedge part under the wing, it looks like something that will increase the downforce. Ever seen the wings/spoilers on the back of NASCAR stock cars? They are very upright but mind you, they do not have a wing like that above them so who knows.

I would love to hear/read the drag coefficient or downforce numbers that this body kit is supposed to produce.

If I remember correctly, the C-West kit does provide better heat desipation so it is one-up on the other body kits... for now. Please what ever information you have.

Thanks.
