So I took a good look at my car and thought it wouldn't look so plain if it had a spoiler on it. Any idea of what would look good? i don't need to put on a huge @$$ wing on the back of my car, but i would like to add something that would give it a flavor. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Uhhh, you might want to fix what you said.

Anyways, I prefer the wingless look but if you want to put something there I suggest a spoiler and not a wing. Gives it that extra touch but still keeps it relatively clean.

Looks plain to me. You gotta have good stance with nice wheels maybe with some bodykit to pull wingless look.

Some nice wingless coupes...

Ya, it does look plain... but that is how I like it. It can look cool with a wing, but it's just not my style.

If it's not a significant aerodynamic plus, it's just dead weight to me.

Those are 180sx 'Droopy' side skirts. They were only available in Japan and discontinued a while back. If you have a coupe, you want silvia aero side skirts. Your best bet is eBay, Jarco or panda garage.

If you want some more attention from the cops, then a wing is the way to go on a daily driven vehicle or road car.

You're still on the young side, so you better knock on wood real quick, lol.

Edit* You don't have a 240sx yet, so that's why you don't have problems with cops.

Wings on street cars equal fail. Although a nice lip spoiler can be a good addition to a well built car.

Not a fan of spoilers but I really like the orgin roof spoilers they make the car looks nice on coupes.
