Wing for C-west kit on FD?

I'm debating on wether or not to put the C-west kit on my FD. I love the look, but I'm debating. Reason is because I can't find a wing that really works well with the car, and I'm afraid to get a GT style wing because I don't want to hear the negative comments every time I turn around about it being "ricey" even tho it'll blow their doors off.

Anyway, please post some pictures of some wings that you feel would compliment the kit best. If you could, please include where I could purchase the wing.

for the cwest kit the best wing would be the original Cwest wings or any other GT type wing that high tuners in Japan make. here is one pic of an rx7 with a GT wing. i have several more pictures upon request.

plus if you dont want to pay alot of $$$ for the originals you could always go to this website www.importfan.com they have some pretty decent wings that are carbon or not and look alot and perform alot like the original GT wings.

Go with the C-Westin Hammer shark wing then. Its the 99 OEM style, only drasticly bigger and lower/sleeker.

I wouldnt really ge the hammer one unless you see it in person because on some shots it looks like a nice wing but from other angles it looks like a totally different wing which you my hate. Id say just a 99 wing would look good if you dont want a GT style wing. Otherwise Mazdaspeed GTC and the Veilside are excellent choices

I like the hammershark one alot, just wanted to see if I could get a fake version of it. I know it sounds ricey, but hey, if I can get the wing for way cheaper, looks nearly the same, why not....NE one know of a place that makes one?

Just like the majority of the others reccomending the hammer shark wing......I reccomend getting it too, it would be a good choice to go complete.

As far as I know, no one makes a copy of the Hammer shark. So you will have to buy an authentic one ,and cheap and authentic are two words youll never see together!

I had a dodge stealth TT with a carbon fiber wing similar to that...and of course i got good/bad comments for it, if I ever get a rx7 ill stay away from the large wings.....and if they do start talking **** just rev the engine and let them know whats up.....nothing sounds better than a turbo car

If you don't like GT wings, I think that the OEM 99 spec wing complements the C-west kit very nicely

i really like the C-west GT wing. I only like the one with the larger umm "fins" on the end like the ones that are usually on skylines and stuff. its a bit big and i do see why someone wil call it ricey, but then every other racing wing could be called ricey too. Also, i dont think a wing that costs 1900 can be ricey anyway. heres a pic of the wing that i like..
