Anyone have these spoiler wings on their Slingshot? Wondering if they would help preventing or lessing back drafts to the cockpit? I don't have a rear exhaust so I'm not concerned about fumes thou I believe they were designed for that purpass and looks.

Don't know anything about the first item, but I recently saw a post where the poster claimed his spoiler (https://slingshotinfo.com/wcf/…%2F10169-spoiler-wings%2F) pretty much stopped exhaust fumes from coming up over the tail and getting into his cockpit.
As a side note, I purchased one of these via EBay last year and tried to spray paint it using a can while it was hanging vertically. I ended up getting some runs. I recommend that it be painted while in a horizontal position as I feel this would minimize any runs.

Many people have the first kind. It is two separate pieces of steel mounted around the rear tail lights.
Zarate Steel Works sells multiple variations of it with different cut outs and in different colors to directly match the Slingshot.
I personally have a version of the second kind:
Slingshot Only / Twist Dynamics sells it both in gloss and textured versions and also available in different sizes (3", 4", 5" - I have the 5").
Truthfully, I got it more for looks than any actual performance. I intentionally "accessorized" my SS to minimize air flow in the cabin (Roof, Madstad Windshield, Rear Wind Screen Protector, etc) so it is hard for me to tell how much the tail alone helps or hurts that. But I can easily wear a baseball cap at all times and speeds in my SS.
