Default Carrera T Sports Design Spoiler in action!

Here is a quick video of the Sports Design Spoiler I installed on my Carrera T in action, as viewed from the BlackView rearview camera. This is almost exactly how you see it from the rearview mirror!

Check out at 0:25" what happens when I tilted open the glass sunroof...

Gts already does the same. The difference is just the lip on the rear edge of the spoiler. That was one option I passed on but which I would have gotten if I did it again.

Only on cars with a sunroof....and only when it is open. It's to compensate for the aerodynmaics of the open sunroof (it is essentially extending the air foil).....kinda like flaps on an aircraft so the spoiler has to lift higher to compensate for the extra lift generated by the sunroof.

P.S. I think there may be two different settings for GTS cars w/o a sunroof too but I forget.

BTW it is nice to see how clear is the video from the BlackVue camera. And that is the one in the back, the one in the front captures at 4K !

I really like your camera setup. You did a great job on it.. I could have sworn you posted links to your setup in another thread but would you mind sharing that info again?

I'm trying to figure out why 2 SUV's are passing you at the end of the video. ;-)

There was a traffic jam and we were all coming to a stop. I just happen to have better brakes

It looks amazing. Id love to get the sd rear spoiler.

Do you have the sport design front bumper.

Thank you!

No, I decided to go with the stock front bumper since it has a unique lip spoiler already.

Good to know .... So its safe to say the increased down force has not affected the steering on highway speeds?
