I like it with the spoiler, bu I agree with this guy ^^. Drive it without the spoiler for awhile and see if you miss the look of it.

Exactly !

I'm clear why they're there. Just not very well integrated. IMHO. Mandeville did it much cleaner, as did Mariah with their GTU kit. They actually thought about it beforehand.

Back to the topic. I like the wing.

"your car should express you."

So you think he looks naked without a spoiler? j/k.

C'mon! Everyone cares, to some degree, what others think. It's natural. Clothes, hair, cars, etc. You choose the car to join others in a common hobby or endeavor. That is why we choose to congregate here with like minded individuals: and we always ask, "What do you think of this ?"

"No man is an island."
Sound familiar?

haha thats a good one. pretty funny. but yes you are true bout how everyone cares to some degree. not bout the naked part lol. but also i think your car should express you. but your should build a car on how you like it and then take into considerations of others oppions then adjust to what you like.

Exactly! In my gallery, there are pics of the NACA duct on my FC. It is very functional and it is dimensionally correct as it is from NASA blue prints. I have never seen another one on this vintage RX. I have seen faux NACA ducts in some hoods but their dimensions or angles were not optimum. So as for the looks, I went more for function and a solid "ram air" opening. It would suck if it rained, but i live in AZ so I'm good with that limitation.

The duct looked awesome on an SR-71 Blackbird. So I though it would also on my black GTU.
