Finally a wing I can stand:)

Now for you idiots out there that made fun of my wing from before...suck my you know what! I traded a guy that owns a VW Jetta VR6 for his wing, and he took mine. Mine was intended for trunk mount anyhow, thats why the angle wasn't right for my angled back. Check it out

NICE! wing, fits the car perfectly! Where did you get the clears? I assume you made them youself by taking them off and stripping the inside?

Oh My God!

I actually got some mature and kind replies....kudos guys! Yes, I took the lenses out, cromed the remaining black parts in the housings...and the wing is by V-Racing...it's the 53.5" version standing 7.25" tall. The lowest I've seen it is 157.00 at www.nopi.com...but the average is 199.00-275.00. I got a big deal seeing as I only paid 125.00 for the other wing and did a direct trade It's a VERY well constructed wing with stainless bolts and nylon locknuts. Very, very happy with it

Found more pix

I like the way the sides of the wings blend with the body lines in the strait on shot (from the back) looks great!

I just can't tell how it adjusts though?

"lifter" metaphorically speaking. Yes, I wanted something like this in the first place...I didn't want some stupid stock wing, whale tail or the gayest of all, a supra style wing....being different is what the RX7 is all about

I'm sorry, but I don't like it. And I don't like the taillights either. Although the wing isn't oversized, it really doesn't fit the car. It IS a unique color though, interesting.

Although I didn't think it was possible to start ricing out a 1st gen, but I guess it is.. *sigh*.. To each his own, I don't like the wing/taillights, (clear taillights are the ugliest thing I've ever seen) although the rest of the looks ok, pretty clean. I know you like it and all, but my two cents say to take the wing and the taillights and toss them in that dumpster in the picture. Or save it if you ever make it to a track where speeds reach 100+ mph on curves. Just my 2 hundred millionths of a million dollar bill.



(That's two cents if you work it out)

LOL....I guess that leaves myself and 98% of the other guys with brains that replied with exactly $0.98 cents...that makes you a poor impovrished peasant...have a nice life being negative and perverse....hope you can make at least one good friend that will change how you treat others...good day

I also don't like the wing, but then again I don't realy see the need of adding anything to the car if it doesn't make it go faster or assist in keeping it more stable at higher speeds. But if it's what you like then more power to you. A car is a reflection of the owner to some extent.

On a brighter note though, I do like are the rims, where did you get them and how much - if you don't mind my asking.

At least you are civil....people are permitted to have their own opinions...but only immature idiots such as RICH go around being rude and bothering other calm collected and mature users on the forum.

To answer your Q about the rims. They are ROH Snyper 15X7's and cost me $119 each. Made in Austraillia, but I got them from a company in NY.

exactly what did I say that was rude? I made no comments about your wing, I personally don't like the way it disrupts the otherwise smooth lines of the 1st gen, but that is what I think. All the more power to you if you want it. If anyone was rude, it was you myfriend. The comment about the sign was a joke. Are you upset because I "hacked" into your site. If this is the case, I am sorry, I wasn't aware I did anything. I am about as internet dumb as they come, so, please relax. IF I could hack something, I would give myself GREAT credit, or something like that.
