[DeTomaso] Value of low profile Amerisport Wing

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Yes understood.  It's much too low for any aerodynamic affect.  My 
entire purpose when initially buying it was for the aesthetic looks of 
it.  I liked how it lay low, much more like the rear spoiler on my 1971 
Mach I.  However that particular spoiler gets into the airflow due to 
the shape of the rear.  But it's a bad-ass looking spoiler.

I've felt this specific spoiler also looked great on the car, even if it 
didn't really do much.  I have it -sitting- on the rear deck lid right 
now and will walk past it for the next week or two to see if I really 
like it that much on my car.

I believe most of the rear spoilers offered don't actually do much if 
anything.  I think Bob Benson fixed one up far enough back and far 
enough up that it got into the right airflow.  It looks great on his 
car, but that's not quite my style.  :)
