Alvarospatchez's GD3 wing tilt
 
I know this has been attempted in the past, but the idea just wouldn't escape me. Here's V1.0 of the GD tilt. It does allow to fully open the hatch. The spoiler hits the antena but not the base. I made it adjustable too so I can lower the angle to almost stock. I used 1/16" aluminum and lots of measuring, cutting, griding, and sparks. It's still a little on the ugly side but this is just my first version. I may paint it/clean it up some. I did find some of that factory installed rust under the spoiler so I'm glad I did this little project. Comments welcome.

Enjoy!

That looks sweet. Got any pictures from farther away or from the back?

No I didn't get any. I'll have to get some in the morning.
