How would this wing look??

Hey guys. I know, it's a aluminum wing, that does absolutly nothing for performance, and is ricey, but it's black, and i think it would look halfway decent on a black fc. What do you guys think?? Anyone have one of these? Pics?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...402489&r=0&t=0

I'm thinking about getting one of those for mine. black wing on silver rex, with gun powder konigs. Ooh sweet. Thing is your going to have custom make your own brackets. You ever look at the Mariah Motorsports wing. Not that bad!

lol......well, if it was small and not oversized like alot of them are and not sit really ******* high over the roof of the car, it will look ok. I've seen some 2nd gens in Japan with those kind of spoilers on them, looked ok. but you do know you'd need different mount for it. I dont think it will fit right with the ones it comes with. Unless someone knows it fits

you MIGHT be able to redrill rear foot and move it foward to make it fit...just an idea......
or you will have to fab up adapters that stick out...

How would this wing look?

IMO >> A wing that size would be more
suitable on a race car. I think it would make
a street car look Ricey. It's your wheels and
everyone has different tastes so fill your booties.

The last wing above is pretty nice, i like the way its molded into the form of the car, kinda says NSX for some reason from the back...
The picnic table wings though belong on cessn'a not rx-7's, was this thread called "how to make your fc look supergay'? The big rice wing would look real good with some acura tailights molded in ...Max

Ya it is, I thought maybe the pic was scanned backwards but he still has the stock fuel cap on the other side.

I do believe that yellow car has a fuel cell... that gas cap is from a Kawasaki motorcycle (something 600, i believe)... my brother did that mod on his Cabriolet. Regardless, i think that wing would look plain ridiculous. But hey, its whatever you like. I still think the best looking wing is the tII or GTU wing.

Don't know who owns it, but I can tell you the number plate is from New South Wales, Australia ... (I knew that being an ex-aussie, would come in handy )

that is my favorite FC wing, if I bought it I'd go all out though, I'd have body work done so it looked like the wing came on the car
