Looked long and hard () at the spoiler and decided I like it. Almost looks a little too transformer-ish, but it flows with the shape of the hatch so well. Does someone sell a similar one? You could probably sell them, I bet plenty o' peeps would buy it.

EDIT: OH! Honda Fit EV. Electric Vehicle. Google can do amazing things

haha, thanks. i'm not sure about selling them. i like having a one-of-a-kind part. but it is a possibility. i had the spoiler off for the weekend (whilst making it) and i kind of got used to not having one, lol. i did see a spoiler a bit like it on a japanese website but it was way too rounded on the top edges, and they wanted my leg for it.
