RE Amemiya GT II spoiler opinions
Hey just wanted to know what you guys thought of the spoiler. I love all things Amemiya and was thinking of biting the bullet and getting one. Price aside, do you think its a little over the top for the car? Just wondering what people thought of it.

It would go nicely with those led valve stem caps though.

lol you dont have to appologize to me...I dont make them. My car is mostly for drifting, and while I agree its probably a bit much for the street I wouldnt put it in the rice catagory. Amemiya products arent some piece of crap steel spoiler in the wal-mart automotive aisle.

I think I'm addicted
Well, we know the quality of the RE products... I mean, my opinion if you get a 7, you need to have a RE product one way or another =)
but its true that the spoiler is a little over-kill
and in a aesthetic point of view, i think a plain FC is the best looking. and i think in this forum, almost ANY spoiler on the FC would be called RICE. (^_^'')

I think you changed that from a nice somewhat old sports car into complete rice garbage!
People like you make me want to throw up when they drive by in the same car with that crap on the back.

I don't like that spoiler. I don't care even if it is by Amemiya. GT spoilers look ugly on FC's IMHO. Unless your FC is a dedicated track car, then I don't mind.

Keep in mind that a wing of that size will have a lot of side drag and down force, which may not keep you in your drift. Many good drifters don't have that style of wing, many roadracers do.
However, I may be full of it. Looking at sprint cars, they spend half the race hooked, (what we call drifting) and they have huge wings, front and back.
Glad you have a sense of humor.

If I cold afford one then I would purchase one for my race/lapping car. It does in fact enhance performance when used under the circumstances it's designed for. On the street it's overkill, on the track it'll shave a couple seconds off your lap time when tuned correctly. Anyone who says it has no performance benefits does not know what they're talking about.

Get an APR GT200 CF spoiler, and mod the mounts, ~450.00 plus ~75.00 to make the mounts. With enough attack angle it creates plenty of DF with relatively little drag at ~60, and above. My car is track only flameboys I am actually going to a GT300 which is quite a bit larger. Carl

I think it looks cool.... IF, you're car is slammed, has wheels that barely tuck in the fenders, and a big front lip, or aftermarket body kit of some sort(I don't think a feed lip would do it), and at least decent looking paint, if not really good paint.
getting points in drifting is all about show, so if you have the performance you want to make the car do what you want, then yeah, get the wing, as long as the rest of the car's looks match.
I hope you all call me a ricer.

If you're doing it for looks (i.e., your street car), then I'd say fugly as hell. With proper suspension/tires, these cars are pretty stable at speeds 120+ (from experience). The money that spoiler is going to cost (RE is $$$$$$) you could defintely do some more beneficial upgrades. You can likey get some adjustable Tokicos and new springs for the same amount. There's something you would really be able to appreciate.

But thanks to the rest of you for chiming in with some honest opinions. I probably wouldnt drop that kinda cash on something like a spoiler anyways, but its fun to see what people think about different stuff just for the fun of it.

Search "widebody GTC" on this part of the forum. See pages 1,3,and 5("tire girl"). Also TeamFC3S.org my name under member cars. The tires are 24.5x13x16 slicks on 16x12 Rel racing rims. Gene, I have to give the GT200 back to APR to get my GT300. I may sell the custom mounts if they do not work with the 300 though.
