    Hey Russ, I’ve been looking at that spoiler shot you provided:

    What I am seeing is that the top of each feather on the spoiler has a re-enforcement, like a small bubble ridge that goes from the back edge up past the feather root and a few inches back from that. Maybe to stop those feathers from ripping off?

    you can see the arch and shadows of those ridges if you blow up the photo.

    Am I seeing things?

    No, no, no. I think you are way off base there Dom. I think they are back scratchers!
