Lotus rear deck wing
I took a long look at the Lotus rear spoiler and thought it might look great on a Viper (especially a roadster). I doubt anyone has attempted this mutation, but I thought it would look NICE!
I really like the soft down turning sides. I think it would look perfect on the roadster rear end! Maybe someone can photoshop the combo?

It's wider than it looks. That is an 03 Esprit.
I'm not too sure about mounting it on a roadsters tail.

Re: Lotus rear deck wing
Uhh...using anything Lotus would be a far cry from rice. I mean this ain't a JC Whitney accessory.
Interesting that you all think is a poor match. I think the wing is perfect for a "rounded" rear deck. It's also high off the deck so that the little existing visibility would likely not be impacted at all. Up close, it's a real high end looking wing.
Well...like Toby says

[img]/images/graemlins/freak3.gif[/img] Ummmmmm, I think I'd have to take a pass on that one. But you go right ahead and slap one of those bad boys on your ride and take a picture so we can see how it really turns out. :thumb:

Don't listen to em [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
I think the angle on the planes of the wing go nice with the side vent of the Viper. That photoshop is VERY rough and I'm sure it would look killer in person.

I love the look of the lotus. Probably a great track car too...not a bad value for the money and SUPER rare.

Esprits rule.
My track event at Road Atlanta is this weekend. Will have lots of good pics!
Esprits are go-karts. Mine is 15 years old but embarassed the hell out of a C5.

If you ever need custom fabbed pieces for your Esprit, let me know. I've got some old friends that specialize in Lotus.
