That defines

RICE



The only wing that will every sexify the rx7 are the stock wings, nothing else.

I say unless you live near a runway and your thing has a jet engine that thing is stupid, in fact you should sell your FC for even considering that wing

Stock sport spoiler, stock T2 wing, or a Wangan spoiler. That's the only 3 I've thought looked good on most FC's. Since you are more show than go, Sport spoiler would be the way to go probably. They look really nice, and theoretically will give better aero and mileage than the others due to the lower profile.

lol why would you be concerned with the wing being in airflow if your not racing? kind of pointless imho.

but if you still want function go buy the foresight roof lip.

I have a cdl and can't loose it, and she is not fast enuff for the strip.

You say that you don't like the stock one because the wind doesn't hit it but then you say you like to show the car more than anything.

I say keep the stock spoiler.

If you wanted a performance wing I would look at the RE Amemiya GTII Spoiler

NO not this thing again, I hate these roof clitorises. I cant see them being at all positively functional unless you had a roof height spoiler.

no all you need is some vortex generators on it. like the back of the evo roof. the roof spoiler will provide some downforce but the wind going over it will be turbulent and cause too much drag so you use those generators to smooth out the airflow. it would probably do more than most rear spoilers unless they were way tall like for instance the AMS time attack EVO.

Obviously it will create some down force, since there will be a low pressure zone below it and a high pressure zone above it.

As far as those vortex generators are concerned, they only work correctly if they a placed, in the proper location and orientation.

IDK as far as I am concerned, 99.99% of the time this **** is just "rice bling"

Roof wing + SE wing is hot. Or the Amemiya wing. Anything else looks like doodie.

key to good aero is not making the car look like a catfish and/or flying space ship

I dunno about that kit man, it's a little out there FC's don't really take to crazy styling like that, you want something less angly looking if you want a nice clean looking show car. But I guess in the end it's your car and money, so if you like how it looks, get it and don't worry what others like. Just be ready to take some ribbing over it

stock/low profile wing FTW or none at all... only two choices.

if you really want to make your car flash, spend some money into the engine and a nice set of kicks.

Amemiya would differ. I dont like the first one...for that reason. Park bench to the max...and ultra double gay for being 2 story.

The second one does look supra-ish...but it looks alright. I mean, it wouldnt be my choice...but its not as horrid as the bench.

I personally would go with either an Amemiya wing, the stock one, or make my own GT style wing...but thats only because I have all the tools to do it.

Personally I dont like that body kit...except for the front bumper and the rear spoiler...and the bumper wont fit my car since I have an S4. It just doesnt catch my eye in a good way.

I made my own hood vent on a stock hood...If you want I can put some pictures up, its pretty chill. Much mo betta than the one in that kit to my eye. Radiator temp drops from ~170 to about 120~ at freeway speed. Without a fan. Even city driving, no fan, I run lower than 180.
