here is the big aluminum wing i put on my car,it will blend better once the car is black.
right now it stands out cause the color.
just mounted it a couple of days ago and have been playing with the adjustments on it.
i had the stanchions in closer but today i spread them out to the next setting,
i think it doesnt look as ricey this way.

The wing should look alright if the car is black. Kind of sticks out like sore thumb now. Mmm...could look real sharp if you went black with a chrome/silver trim.

Too bad the interior pics are so washed out

IMHO it's a bit much if your car's otherwise stock and everything... but it would be alright if you had crazy *** power to back it up. Will you? Personally I don't like that kind of stuff on FB's, but that's my opinion.

I agree that it would look better if the paint were black.

Black would look sweet... I'm not a fan of huge spoilers

But whatever rocks your boat (actually, it's not that bad)

When I first saw a wing like that on Saint007's ride (are we allowed to mention him??), I thought it was hideous. I look at it on your ride and I realize it's starting to grow on me. I guess it's because you took the time to work out different strake positions and the airfoils are not pointed to the sky, but whatever, I do like the look of it, now...

personally, id go with new wheels/tires and performance mods first because im fond of the smooth stock rear deck lid. however, i really like that wing and i think it will be kick *** when you get it painted. NICE!

the paint will be black,still have to do soem body work,and need a couple of parts.

my brake calipers are silver,rims are kinda silver,headlight shrouds are silver,new muff is chrome.

i used to have a black with this chameleon blue paint that changed to purple theme,
but now its black,silver,and red.

the exterior will mostly be black,with some silver decals here,and there,but only on the glass.no fast and furious ****.
i have to represent the seven sport rx7 club so i need to put it on the back window,then some rotors on the side back glass would be nice,all in silver.

yea when i had the stanchions in more it gave it more of that rally look that i like,but everyone seems to like them out more,i dont mind them out more i kinda have mixed feelings about it so,ill leave it the way people like it.
