I have a 00-TDI, GLS with no factory spoilers or anything. I read about that one guy who built a giant boat tail that corrected the airflow problems caused by the cars shape, however I don't want anything so drastic.QUOTE]

Are you talking about my NB? (Check out my album to make sure) If so I have done a lot of the aero mods you are talking about plus some. Blugg, the red is where the air seprates from the car with no control. It builds a pressure point at speed and lifts the rear of the car. Alexissarah The double spoiler moves that red higher up the car and makes the area larger. This causes the same light rear end at lower speeds.

I have a full engine pan that extends forward to match the curve of the chin spoiler of the car. The engine pan also extends to the sides of the front fenders to smooth out the space in front of the tires. I am also running a rear air diffuser on the car. The side (skirts) plates are tuned to balance the car at speed. At 100mph the car will evenly drop roughly an inch on its springs. There are a lot of other little aero touches but those are the main ones.
