It's pretty good but yeah I agree with everyone else about losing the wing. Unless of course you plan on travelling at ridiculous high speeds a lot...

Hey, I kinda like the wing. Brings a little bling (one shy of a bling-bling) to the old school RX. My only concern, being a practical kinda guy, would be access to luggage. Has anybody considered mounting one of these extruded wings to the hatch glass? I think clear lexan stanchions with clear end caps -- center section body color. All the way to bling-bling baby.

Looks great .The wing looks good it's the wing mounts that look ugly in my opinion.

So you're selling it for an FC? Interesting...

Do you plan to do any drifting in the FC? Nice weight distribution...good car for the job...

Though I think I'd rather have a First Generation, maybe I'm just biased because it was my first car, but Hell...they're good little jap runners.

I haven't seen the TVR spoiler, and can't seem to find one on their site. The concept, however, would be to make the vertical pedestals for the wing out of clear lexan. These could be attached to the hatch glass at the same points the gas struts are attached. The end caps are simple and easy to make out of lexan. I'd create a design that followed the RX's rear slope. This would give the spoiler a look of not being entirely attached to the car, which might help preserve the car's lines. But more importantly, it's something different.
