This is a great idea! I came up with my version focusing on the spoilers. I found, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, that the black spoiler does give a bit more feeling of forward lean, which baffles me, because it appears to be the thinner one. Anyway, it doesn't quite give me enough, so after trying various other alpine boot spoilers, like the ones from my Lange RX 130's, which didn't make much difference, I simply doubled up the spoilers.
If you look on the inside of the black spoilers, there is a groove just below the lip which matches up perfectly with the outer rim of the orange spoiler when placed together lining up the holes with the orange on the inside. I'm not sure if Dalbello intended this, but it works. The only thing they didn't include was a longer screw to secure both in place which is easy to find at a hardware store. Make sure the length and threads are correct. It is easy to strip the insert with too long or too short a screw and trying to over tighten it. The first time I tried this was with the black spoiler screwed in and the orange spoiler wedged in on the inside of it where it stayed, but long term, screwing them both in with a longer screw is advisable.
I would guess this mod puts you close to 13 or so based on comparing to my KR 2 pro's which came in the box with the 4mm wedge in the boot to give 13 degrees according to the instruction book included. Using both spoilers in the Lupo, as with a single spoiler, you can adjust the height, forward lean and rear support by using difference holes. Both spoilers up gave less forward lean, but more than either by itself, and both down max, while one up, the other down something in between. I have to say, I am getting used to the more upright position on some of my modern more forward mounted and rocketed skis, but it feels weird skiing some of my older traditional skis that I have kept in my quiver and still enjoy skiing, hence forward lean options. The rear Full Tilt wedge in the ski mode lock is pure genius though and perhaps simpler than my solution.
