Default Anyone know about this unique 6-GT3 rear spoiler upright solution?

I came across these photos on Google Images. Seems like an easy solution to get the rear spoiler up into the slipstream (and much cheaper than a Cup rear decklid). Anyone know if this solution is something available or was this a home-fabricated solution?

Very interesting. Looks a bit RWB but probably quite functional.

I know that car.

The uprights were fabricated by European Performance Engineering in Natick, MA.

I am the new owner of this car! The uprights were actually fabricated by Chip Wood at Roar Industries in MA for EPE. They are very sturdy vertically but have some movement side to side.

Very cool. I wondered about how stable they are. Congrats on the new ride.

The previous owner had it done so he could return the car to stock. No turning back now
