So I bought a 1987 notch as a roller, and the trunk had some rust and bad bodywork.. Its a vert trunk lid with the rack removed.. I had my buddy fix it and paint it, but I was thinking about putting some kind of wing or spoiler.. I know, i know, most will say leave the lx notch AS IS.. But I wanted something to kind of set it apart..
All i could only find was the typical anniversary wing or coupe saleen/cobra wings.. Then I remembered about the member who had made the aluminum wings for notches since one of my buddies bought one off him.. I wanted something a little more subtle, so I started browsing other makes & models of cars to get ideas..
This is what the final product looks like..
**Pics aren't the best because of the sun and my car was also blocked in.. I didnt wanna move 3 cars just to get this one out for a few pics haha**
Let me know what you think! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I think it's so small that it looks like a black stripe instead of a "small spoiler." Is that the rubber door gasket stuff?

Leave it alone.
I agree with sinister, though, that's the only wing that truly compliments a notchback's trunk. But, unless you're going to build a drag car, it'll look out of place. For a non drag car, another option could be a ducktail style spoiler, but those are hit or miss IMO.

I couldnt find any ducktail spoilers.. only one I could find was the one that another member was making about a year ago.. but i dont think hes making them anymore..

If you want it subtle, paint it white and you're done! Either way on or off looks fine.
