Roof wing?

IMO it looks like it disrupts air flow to the spoiler, you want downforce on the back of the car not a little at the middle, if it even adds any downforce at all. it looks like a worthless piece that is just for aesthetics and negatively affects performance.

After all, it is an open forum right?

yes it is an open forum, but everyone has their own opinion. so now lets take a vote: Who here cares about your opinion?
the original poster did not ask for opinions on if you liked it or not. we dont need to hear you say its "ghey". that makes no difference to the thread. so please keep your opinion to yourself unless you are asked for it. and by the way im not chewing anyones head off. im simply stating your opinion is not needed in this thread. thanks.

Dude, regaurdless whether it's a girl or guy, the ratio of size of Japanese driver to car makes that FC look like a Cadillac! It's huge! I'm 6'1" and my car's like a tinker toy!
And on that note a Japanese chick in a FC is freakin hot!

I just wanted to see how it would look. I don't think that you can really pull it off without destroying the lines on the car. It gives it an 80's camaro look that I am totally not digging. I like the light, small, fast look myself.

Seems kinda pointless and ricer-ish to me, but that's just my opinion. I think all non-stock body modifications are pure "rice" and pointless, but to each their own.

Funny coming from someone with "I hate ricers" as their user title who is putting body kit bullshit all over his car and acting as if it's not rice, but then berates everyone else on the forum for anything remotely "rice" *laf*

reviewing the pic, if the wing tilted up a bit, it actually looks like it's in a better place for downforce than a wangan wing. It's almost directly over the rear tires and the air doesn't have to travel down to reach it.
(and to the guy who said my 2 cents isn't useful, keep all "It looks like"s and "I think"s to myself and let the wind tunnel do the talking/ I'm just mentioning, you can scroll over my post, we all know what these threads "are about", as you keep saying "this thread's not about" etc.)
