you don't need a wind for downfoce on your car. If you want an agressive look, why not lower it and upgrade wheels?

Look the reason stuff is for a ricer is because it serves no real perpous exept to look 'cool' you don't need a huge wing unless you are hitting up tracks and hitting speend over 80mph around corners. Find a wing with downforce that helps and no one can call you a ricer.

Theres a vert in Lampasas with a similar wing, and I don't really like how it looks. It just doesn't quite look right on the car. Its your car, though, so do what you want.

i'd say save the money from gettin the gt wing and put a higher priority on you exhaust, suspension etc...then once your car is burning corners at 80+ worry about a wing. you said its a solo 2 car...that wing will do nothing to help your times out but kyb agx will help...but as far as style goes, i think that wing wouldnt look to bad...

IMO opinion putting a spoiler on a car that big IS rice if the car's a daily driver. Especially if it's a convertible. It's like saying, well I want downforce, so I thought I'd get it by adding more drag than my roofless desigsn already has. It will also interrupt the lines on a ver with top down or up, the back is too flat back, if you want a wing, sit a small one carlength 1 to 1.5 inches off the deck, and make sure it's body color with body colored props too, or small aluminum props like the Mazdaspeed Rx-8s spoiler. These are just my opinons though, It's your car so do what you want to do to it, feel comfortable. And the downforce will help some, but the vert isn't designed to be sporty enough for needed downforce. Try and go with a wing design that looks OEM almost for agression. If not, you can go for something like that, it's all personal opinion.

A GT wing on a vert is ricey, period. If you need the illustrated version here it is:

/\/\/\/\ thats not a gt wing, its just a double deck metal one.

the S2000 looks prety hot equiped with a carbon 3d gt wing IMO.

that's VERY baised, if you're going to compair, you have to find a wing on a vert that doesn't scream rice everywhere else too. I mean, I agree with you, but I don't believe in baised descisions, the decals, seats and lights on that car don't do it any justice and of course mods like that can make anything look ricy, try and find a vert that's relatively stock other than the wing.

Dont talk about downforce and functionality, as that mother wont kick in till very high speeds, and where i know pretty much everyone one the board has hit those speeds, they havent hit them often enough to necesitate a big **** wing. If this is for the track, go for it, you'll appreciate the extra downforce.
