I know it's only placed but the angle of attack looks, well quite aggressive.

Your points make for an interesting discussion. I assure you prefer the look of the car without it.
I'll try and rig it up more accuratly before I make a decision I suppose.
I'm also considering stickering the car up so it looks less stupid. - At least with the logo of the TA team. Argh I dunno...I'm trying to talk myself into it and i'm not sure its working.

looks wise it works for me but way too aggresive on the attack angle.

I'm a bit iffy about using wings that were designed aerodynamically for a specific car and then lifted and put on a different car. If it's adjustable then it does give you a bit of scope i guess.

Its not car specific, did you think there was a seemless melding with the lines of that porsche? He he. It must be less mental than i thought!

oops yes point taken, looking at it on the Porker it doesn't seem much of a different rake to how it is demoed on your car - he crashed it though, is that a sign that it may not have been well suited performance wise.Its not car specific, did you think there was a seemless melding with the lines of that porsche? He he. It must be less mental than i thought!
From what you're saying though it's more of the look you want than what it does or am i wrong (again)?

Dont worry about rake. I rested the pillars on the car, then rested the spoiler on. Thats the position it needed to be in not to fall off, thats all. Its adjustable.

Looks wise not for me but if it serves a purpose and your happy that's all that's counts, some different end plates might look nicer
