Talking My other 3rd Gen RX7 is a Civic

I saw this gem parked down the street...

Had a spare 3rd Gen wing laying around and it actually fits:

I believe the term, flush mount, is applicable:

****. All he had to do was take off the stock wing. Might not have looked too terrible. ..

Unfortunately, the civic trunk isn't wide enough for the RX7 wing. Plus, the stock wing provides a better mounting point anyway.

Beauty is in the eye of no one in this situation. This is what it's come to in order to make your Civic unique these days.

I'm just really having trouble understanding... The reasoning that would go through a sane person's brain to carry out the work needed to make this abomination.

"I have spoiler off legendary FD RX7 JDM tyte hero car. It is black."

Thus-

I have Civic. It is completely stock, with stock wheels and tires and a slightly crumpled rear bumper. But it is also japanese and black so its nearly the same."

"Therefore I will screw this FD rear spoiler onto my Civic's spoiler. This will be good on so many levels:

-A spoiler on top of a spoiler is like a double bacon cheeseburger. One is good, two is always 100% better, no matter what it is or what it looks like."

-It is from a JDM tyte FD RX7. Perhaps some of its legendary JDM-ness will rub off on my car. People will see me going 2Furious down the street to the grocery store, and go "Whoa, man check out that black car!! Its got an RX7 spoiler on it! Thats like putting Lamborghini wheels on yo Escalade!! That is tight, playah!!" and I will get teh respects and the ladies will jump at me from the sidewalk, trying to ram themselves in my half open windows as I cruise down the street.

-People driving behind my Civic will get confused and think its an FD RX7 in front of them, and they will take pictures of me. People walking on the sidewalk will stop and get their cameras out and take pictures and show their friends- "Man I saw the sickest Civic today. Its so fast it needs 2 spoilers to keep it on the ground, yo!!"

-It fits OEM perfect, because the pointy bits at the front are for cutting through the airflows which makes my car more aerodynamic, and thus faster than a stock Civic. I get more downforce on my rear wheels, which will help me get more traction off the line in an illegal street drag race, which I go to often.


**Sarcasm & grammar.
