thanks classic... wish you were in socal so i could use your expertise on my body work thats gonna be getting done before SSX(sevenstock10)... i have a person who is gonna lay the house of colors kandy orange (for those farmiliar w/ their paint... it should be a basecoat of BB2 silver, w/ 5 coats of kandy orange, then X amount of clear).. i decided i finally wanted to put a spin on my orange

also, heres is what SHOULD be getting done before the next sevenstock

1. kandy orange paint and body work (i want the body straight as an arrow w/ flawless seams)
2. endless 6-pot big brake kit
3. sparco milano seats and harnesses
4. debating on whether or not to switch my mariah wing for the re-amemiya wing i have lying around (we will see)

Judging by the responses, maybe switching the wing will give the car a better look...
I personally dont like it. It's the Mariah Motorsports wing right?

I am guessing the RE wing will set the car apart even more, but hey it's up to you.

Actually, Vipers if you could... post a pic of the RE Amemiya wing. If it's the same one I'm thinking of then I say you switch them...

Sounds nice!

Which RE wing d oyou have laying around? the wangan style? Personally thats my favourite FC wing...but your's has an appeal seeing as it does go with the rest of the "wild" theme of the car. Putting that wing on a stock FC would be hideous though! lol

Good luck, and FWIW I was in cali on saturday night/sunday....but it was just a stop over in the airport on my way back from SEMA hehe

Personally....I'd stick with the Mariah on your car.

Its a nice wing, but I have a feeling the rear-end is going to wind up looking "empty" to you and others once its off....seeing as the spoiler doesn't come out on the sides at all...

But thats just my .02

Well my friend Kevin has the RE wing and GP sports kit knock off, and pretty much when we got to SS9, this car was his clone car, except he has Panasports 17x9s ****** sexy.

But the RE wing looks good in white, not so sure about other colors..



I guess, keep the Mariah... or get something else. It's just too much. IMO.

Oh Im sorry.. Props to whoever's car this is.. It's DAMN sexy. I didn't mean to post a pic without giving credit to where it's due.
