Not sure what yall will think about this, but also not sure if it will work..
However after watching this thread basically since it started, I was wondering if somebody a little more talented could come up with a design concept for a piece I had an idea of.
The biggest problem with adding a decal to these stock spoilers is the angle the spoiler deploys in to. So what if somebody could build a contraption using sheet metal bearings and a couple of tools to implement a drop-down panel to display the decal at a more optimal angle, where it could actually possibly be seen by slightly more elevated cars. Not sure if this can be done as I haven't measured the amount of empty space between the spoiler and the body, but wouldn't it be an interesting project anybody could do to their cat on their own? A piece that can deploy and retract as the spoiler does on its own...

I'm one who's struggling with the factory spoiler. The car is all curves and flowing lines, then the spoiler is square with hard edges. To add insult to injury, the exposed area looks like crap. I had a Porsche with a deploying spoiler. It was nested in a fixed spoiler, and when it deployed you just saw the 2 chrome extending rods. And it was completely finished/painted matched the rest of the car. This is a Jag fail, but with high speed events part of the plan, I'm not going to disable it. Spending 1K+ to address is way down on the to-do list.
I would love to at least have it finished in some way, the stick/graphic could work. Any links for US?
