Fact is..

i love the spoiler.. on a lowered/kitted s13 hatch its beautiful. So here i am in need of a spoiler, repainting the whole car black soon and removing the stock foam. Damn thing rusted a whole in my trunk (gettin that fixed). But when its all over my car's gonna be completely stock, new paintjob, spoiler of my choice. what do u guys think of the type x wing on somethin so stock? ricey or what? ive never seen it in person and every pic has it on a modded s13.. is it too high or what? que? que?:Werd

Since your car will be mostly stock, it may look a little out of place (not ricey per se). Just get some lowering springs to reduce the gap a bit. It'll look better. ;)

Yeah...that's a good conjecture..:rolleyes I guess my kouki sideskirts are rice..:rolleyes

I think the kouki wing looks good. It might be a little out of place though without some more aero work though. I say get some type of front lip, like zenki S13 and some sideskirts.

Um...the kouki wing on a 240 is functional..Its a lil thing in physics we like to call downforce. I think it looks nice,but you gotta get the Type X kit to got with it,or a kit with similar body lines

True, but most people don't go fast enough to get the effect of the wing. It's actually designed just for looks. The KOUKI aero kit is generally almost impossible to find and if you do find one, look to pay out the a** for it.

If anyone complains just point out that it's OEM Nissan.

I'm still debating one for my car actually. But, I have plenty of time to worry about cosmetics. I need bushings....

I don't personally really care for it, but it's certainly not hideous. It just looks kinda big on the back of an S13 fastback....maybe I'm just getting old.

I personally think it will look out of place.... I went with an r32 gtr spoiler for that reason (its a little shorter and fatter).

so the enormous erector sets on civics aren't ricey? They do provide great amounts of downforce...
