where starts to contact the antenna
fully open trunk
I haven't decided what splitter to go with yet. I like the Auotvation, but I'm not sure if it will fit my car. I sent them a few emails, they didn't respond back! The plywood option looks good thou and no problems seeing out of the back window, better than the stock wing.

But "completely unimpeded" to the point where over 90% of your rear window area is open, or what I'd call "functionally unimpeded," yes.
I have an APR GTC-300 rear wing on the stock risers, which is at least 5"–6" lower than that Kognition wing, and my view out the back window is "functionally unimpeded," as in I never have a problem seeing what's behind me—on the street or at the track.
Which is FAR different than what it was like with the OEM wing (as you probably know, it blocks the view behind you well enough that you can't tell a Toyota Camry from an unmarked Crown Vic Police Interceptor).
If you'd like to consider an aluminum splitter, Fulcrum Aeroworks down in Texas offers some options starting @ $320, without turnbuckles... they're not going to be bolt-on, though. Lots of DIY still required:

[QUOTE=EGbeater;10006495]I did the same... splitter first, rear wing second. mouseIX, did you get my PM? I believe I addressed all your questions/concerns regarding my DIY plywood front splitter.
Just being lazy myself. PM sent my friend

In regards to how much splitter to Wing balance. There is more to the splitter then just the length on which it sticks out past re front bumper. You also need an effective air damn and the mounting / material needs to be strong enough to not bend or lose shape.

Lol, awesome pic. What is the length on the splitter? I'm trying to keep my front splitter to 5'' (for RTA Street Mod rules) and the air dam is ~2'' which should be enough to even out the Kognition wing. My wing should be mounted on Tuesday.
