These cars liked down force!
That looks like normal height

I bought it on Ebay 6 or so years ago. I think I paid $600 for it shipped. It came from overseas in the far east somewhere. I don't know if it is carbon or not but weighs probably 2-3 lbs at the most. It has held up under the Florida sun all this time and a few 100+ mph runs with no cracks or yellowing/fading. It feels solid and you cant flex it in with your fingers. It was a screaming deal.
I will take a picture with it down when I get home tonight.

no problem back there. I kind of think I could use a bigger spoiler on the front to balance it out better. It feel light in the front over 90 or so.

That's actually a problem stock...always wonder why folks take weight out of the front (spare tire, tool kit, etc.) as the front is light in comparison...perhaps a big A@@ spoiler ion the front would help...LOL
