really think its ugly ??
damn .....and here i thought i had the idea of the century ...
the c west is funtional(i guess to some degree) but its kinda high and i have a feeling it makes my car look "rice" wicht i dont want
i thought maybe the 3D wing looks better because of its curved form and lower stance
anybody else ...inputs???

IMHO wings look bad on the FD or FC.

I have seen a few small spoilers that look alright, but lots that look bad.

Worst case someone really hates your car and drives by with a rope and tears the wing off...... not like I know anyone that has ever done that......

Good luck.

big wings arent bad. if anything if u get a wing from a company that has actualy wind tested there products i.e C-West, APR, Amuse, Sard, Voltext. Etc. personaly i love the looks of a big GT wing something GT wing . most people on the forum would probably think any wing other then the 99spec wing would think that any other wing is rice. u have a bunch of posibility. any way remeber the cleanest looks is no wing at all
good luck.

ihavetwins' car = pure sex.

And I don't know of anyone who would put that on their FD. Wait... I don't really know anyone with an FD...

I say do it. I don't have to look at it.

Sorry, i thought the white FD was Calvin Wan's Motorsports Dynamic FD (he used to compete in formula D with his FD.. hes now driving a Falken G35)... his look exactly like it . btw, you listed the apex FD sintead of the endless

more on Calvins FD w/o the stickers.

I agree with you 110%! I think most of the guys here believe if it's not 99 spec it looks rice meaning, it does'nt look good.
KINDA OFF TOPIC= Just for info sake; From all the reading I've done concerning the term "rice". I've come to understand that the car does'nt look like a car The Japanese would put togeather. It means it's been put togeather badly (is badly in the dictionary..?). Anyway, there are cars that have been put togeather badly with American products and have been called rice.
