Yeah, but that is over 10yrs ago

Different thought, ACE... perhaps give it a paintjob with loads of aces on it (playing cards)

Busy busy day, solid 9 hours complete on ACE, stripped everything down to thread lock and tourque. Motors bedded in very well. Dry run and some vids in the week

Still think you should go with the spoiler as it would certainly add an edge! Just be careful that beaks/claws/axe's cant hook it and drag you about! Alternatively, how about DeLorian style "doors"/wings (functional or just for show) ?
