I have never seen one before...  I have thought about making a section for the rear of my mk1 GTI, just 'cuz the rear valence will eventually be rust free, and I am sure that there would be some high-speed benefit for the time and trouble.  The front would prolly have a bigger impact (or is it smaller?) than the rear, but it would also be much more complicated to fabricate...  Are these still available, expensive, sturdy?

Cheers,
  David
