Wings = originaly made for performance not looks
Performance=More pressure on rear wheels at HIGH SPEEDS on RACECARS


emfasis on REAR WHEEL and HIGH SPEED both of wich you will never have...when will people LEARN..

They dont' look that good, and its not gonna make your car any more areodynamic. If it adds any down force at all, its poitnless cuz you have a front wheel drive car.

You gotta get over the rice thing dude...whats rice?

Lime green or yellow or anything bright and ugly.
Cheap un effective parts
Slow cars that people TRY to make look fast
Anything APC
Nos Stickers
BOV speakers
Fake hood pins

I hope you get the point. If you want to get it the wing, go right ahead. But it's really not worth it.

What should you do instead of getting a wing to make your car that much better looking? Take that 300 bucks, and buy something else. Go get a new exaust systme, and Intake, a short throw shifter, cams, or something that will make you faster, rather than ricer..

If your engines been modded and you want to work on apearance, don't go all out with the looks. Do somethign simple, maybe some Mazda Speed stuff. The front bumper and skirts are very nice. Polish your head lights mabye, get some new seats. Shave your door handles maybe, tint your tail lights. But whatever you do, dont' go over the top and do it in taste.

well anything will fit, just probably needs to be modified to fit perfectly.

If you get it let us a pic when it's on. I'd be interested to know how it fits.

You guys should know there is a benefit to wings on FWD cars as well, but the emphasis on racing still exists. Look into stuff like lift-off oversteer and you'll understand, but before jumping the gun, wings have their place on any drivetrain type car, weither it be FWD, RWD or AWD


BTW, taht's the same wing Chris Barrow (sorry if i misspelt his name, I don't have time to check) Mx-3 kit, it was modified, but look absolutely amazing on his kit.
