All I can say is "THAT'S THE GAYEST F*CKING SPOILER!!!"

You go ahead and spend your money on exterior mods, then you can pull up next to me with your friends and laugh at my stock looking GXL, right before I blow your *** away with all the money in engine mods I have. Plus mine doesn't look obnoxious.

BTW the only reason I drool over FC's in Japan is cuz they get all the cool engine **** for cheap!!

ok, the wing looks good if it looks like one with the regret sticker on it. But my favorite is the stock TII, which ofcourse my car has , perfect w/ body lines. But i do have a hankering for only one wing, the carbon fiber veilside one. But i wouldn't get it, im all about speed. Just paint it one color , plz no stripes either. post pics though. But its ur car, if thats your boat, go float it man. And ppl on here aren't that harsh, i didn't get any **** like u were when i posted my car.. hehe

ahahha thank god thats not your car.....

it'd look like the regret wing (or whatever its called) if you took off a layer, reshaped the endpieces, and sprayed it black

holy ****, ok time for my rant
#1 e-bay park bench wing? ewww, never buy something like that off of ebay
#2 THAT IS NOTHING LIKE THE "Regret" WING!@$@!$@!$ The regret wing is made by Cusco and is pimpshiz. What he go was just ****...
#3 Hmmm, for the color, I'd say stick to red, maybe a different color, like a pearl red or a cherry red
#4 Only things I like about your car are the hood and fenders. Did you make the hood from your stock hood and one of the scoops you can buy from erebuni?

bleh, im done, please take off those stickers when you paint it and rethink the wing. btw good luck importing the panspeed nose.

*edit*
I just saw that wasn't your car.
And I hope you're not serious about the CFafying your hood?!?

Its not a "Regret" wing, as Node stated. Its a Cusco FC specific wing. Its a very nice wing, and like someone stated before, I dont see anyone critisizing japanese tuner cars, just drooling. Now all of the people making "regret" jokes look like jackasses. Id have to say the wing bought it too big, and your going to have a fun time mounting that thing. Take a look at the Cusco mounts, theyre pretty custom.

For those looking for the wing in the "regret" pic, the Cusco model, there is a guy in the FS section selling one. His name is "Midnight"

I dont critisize japanese cars that have wings like these because the cars are actually nice. the wings are still ugly as hell. i dont care what it is called because i will never have to buy it. i dont think i look like a jackass because i could care less what it is called

Can anyone tell me where to get the Regret wing? I have been looking for it for a while and can't seem to find anywhere to buy it.

Cusco, not Regret. Regret is just a sticker the guy had on his car
IT IS A CUSCO WING!$@!@$!@$
Also see TonyTurboII's post about guy named midnight selling one in the FS (For Sale) Section

turbosmoke, you're talking about putting like a CF film or laminate over the hood if I understood you, right?

There is almost no weight difference between the stock aluminum hood and a CF hood. The big difference is cost.

*edit*
I just saw that wasn't your car.
Nope. That's the car that Mr. Amemiya worked on in a big-*** vid that was posted about 6 weeks ago. Except that the bottom pic doesn't look right b/c I don't see the CAI in the right headlight assembly...

The only reason I can see people putting spoilers on 7s is for looks. They just screw up the car's drag co-efficient. And unless you're planning on entering your 7 in F1 races, by the time you're going fast enough for the spoiler to do its job, you don't need it anymore.

I am in total awe of Mr. Amemiya's mechanical abilities, but those stickers and that spoiler on the TII is disgraceful.

no node. I mean stripping the hood down to the bare metal and laying a big sheet of carbon fiber over it and having it clear coated. i know somone who can get sheets 6'x 6' of carbon fiber any color.

but you are wrong about the wieght difference. a CF hood weighs only 5-6 pounds while a aluminum hood weighs roughly 20-25. that is a bit of a difference but not so much that i care about. if you are making an all out racer and stripping everything you possibly can, then this is good, but for the street they are for purely aesthetic or bragging purpose
