Racing beat type II would look good. Did you ever get the thing to the dyno?

I saw wing. Without a wing, it makes the car look kinda strange. even if it's a stock wing. But to each his own. It's your car and your choice.

mesh isnt mesh, it has the same diamond pattern as gutter guard, so i'm calling rice on this one

but, however, you could redeem yourself by buying the real stuff....

see folitec's website, they have REAL mesh

You say rice with the mesh and then tell him to use some folitec stuff to "redeem" himself from the rice gods???
lol

I like a wing myself, but it looks good either way.

i wanted something stronger than mesh so i bought $130 a sheet stainless expanded metal. i hope noone would use this **** in their gutters. i wanted something strong to protect my intercooler but yet add stability to the front bumper. its the best i could think of. damn, give me a break. i thought the gerbil comment was bad enough

i think i am going with the rotary extreme feed with the carbon insert.

I like the mesh. It's very functional but the one I used is the folia tec which looks just like what you have except that it's chrome plated so it's even ricier.

Any way how much did you pay for the hood? I would consider one if I can it painted.

a wing will look good, just dont rice it.
the stock wing or the 99 stock wing would be perfect.
the feed wing would look good on your car b/c you have a black hood. if its carbon fiber, it would match the feed wing perfectly.
nice car, i couldnt decide between the 99 front or the feed, and now seeing the feed in red (mine is red too), im going with it.
great car

If you are going to get a wing, just dont get a big-*** aluminum wing. Get something close to a stock wing.

i want to lower it but bi-state built my manifold and my wastegate hangs about 2 inches below my subframe...it scrapes on speed bumps now. i think i have decided on the feed or the 99spec with a carbon center.

Car looks sweet, looks good with wing but would look good with wing as long as it isnt a ricer wing that looks like it was built with an erector set with a ski on top...Id say a supra wing would look good, or just a smaller spoiler. But your choice. Lookin good though!
