Nice, I almost bought that wing. I really wanted to get it, but couldn't justify it until I know the car is running.

As long as YOU like it, thats all that matters. BTW: you should fix that dent near the wheel well first

Nothing personal.. I think it's ricey too. I am not a spoiler fan all together. Takes away from the Fd's beautiful lines.Is that a dent above the rear wheel ? Trade the wing for some body work. Hopefully it is just a smudge mark.

You really need to lower the car and put some wider wheels on the back for that wing to look right.

I like the wing, I just dont think your FD is quite ready for it. The wing is aggressive and a stock body FD is not, IMO. With a body kit and wide rear tires it will match perfectly.

You know, I'm sick and tired of everything other than 99 spec being called rice. Do you know what the term means? It does'nt mean if you don't like it, it's rice. This wing is made by one of the top RX-7 tuners in Japan. I'm sure they did'nt make it just to make it. Now that I mentioned the 99 spec, SOME of you guys need to get an imagination. Quit being like the guy next door and execute some of you own ideas. The 99 spec parts are not the only parts that accent the look and lines of the FD.

hahah thanks guys, yes the dent is going to be fixed, i just received the wing last week, and wanted to just test fit it, im going to get a paint job after the engine is rebuilt. lol wider tires & wheels will be a must, i have something in the works for a c-west style front, feed sideskirts, and 15th anni front and rear fender so the dent will be gone loolol.

hight five on the ADAM Sawartari pic lol i know i chopped that name up, but its the same one he used, and im sure noone called is ride rice lol.
