The problem is the plastic in the middle portion of the spoiler is really thin because of its 1:24 scale. When ever I try to do something it bends and looses its original shape. So I'm thinking of putting some kind of support underneath in a way it can't be seen from any angle unless you are holding the car upside down. That's what I'm working on right now, will be posting pics soon.
