My car is RWD so I dont really think an aluminum spoiler is rice. I am not looking for a 20" double deck wing or anything like that and at least I am adding downforce to the right wheels! I was thinking something like this: http://www.enonvativforce.com/....bmp, but I don't know exactly which type(A,B,C, or D) of Cusco GT Wing that is or where to even order it from. If anyone knows a good place to get a spoiler or has a suggestion on a nice looking one, let me know.

You could tear one off a Honda!! Just kidding, I'm just biased because I think they look cheap, I prefer a fiber-glass one that is painted to match the car. But you're right, on a RWD car, it is a LOT less ricey! If that's your thing, NOPI has a boat load of them.

the best for an aluminum spoiler is on a GT car.

I figure ill post here instead of making a new topic.

Id like to find a wing that attaches like an aluminum wing does, but the actual deck is fiberglass...sort of like the Veilside one...but that ones way too narrow, i think (ive got a 93 coupe)

Nice looking ride, but that aluminum wing screams uncle Ben and teenager. Basic rule: understated is classy, bare metal is trashy. I'd recommend a smaller wing that blends more with the shape of the body, and painted to match. Big auminum wings draw attention away from the rest of the car. Just my $.02, but if you like monster wings, then go for it.

redrocket.. your car looks perfect... except for the wing. Again it's just my opinion, but it makes your car look cheap.. not bad.. just cheap. Even a high fiberglass wing would look better. I seriously like your car, the rims and front spoiler look great.

By the way, did you get the name, "redrocket" from South Park.. or just because your car is red?

I like it, i dont think it looks bad at all.

I do understand the thought patterns going into the other comments, but in all honesty, it doesnt look bad, its a different style than having fiberglass, and you have to understand that i guess to appreciate it.

Quote »By the way, did you get the name, "redrocket" from South Park.. or just because your car is red?[/quote]well a little bit of both because that is my favorite episode of south park but mostly because of the car because when I first got it all my friends called it the rice rocket so just stuck a little.

thank you for saying my car looks good the wing is coming sometime in december I hope. I am putting some type of fiberglass wing on the car and repainting it.

i think aluminum spoilers look BADASS on 240s. i admit, some look stupid, but there are some that look frikken awesome. i have an aluminum wing on my car. (VIS GT2). i know its my car, but i wouldn't have any other wing on my car. i have been told by COUNTLESS people how great that wing looks on my car, and these are very respectable people in the import scene...but then i have everything else on my car too..it looks great on a 95 with a bomex kit with some 18s.

I have to admit, everytime i see an aluminum spoiler, i wanna puke, or throw eggs at the car, but on some cars, doesn't look too bad on your car red, they can be done tastefully especially if it is a functional piece.

Those of you who have wings like redrocket's, and those looking into them, I have one question... What do you think you are helping by putting a big wing on the car?

Chill out man, I'm just wondering what you think your doing when you put a wing on, that's all. Sure, post a pic, then I'll give you a judgement. I like F&F, cause of the GT-R, Supra, RX7, a couple others, but lemme check a pic of yours, I know most of the guys on here aren't ricers, chill out.

nametakennow...i wasn't talkin about u man. i'm sorry bout that. it just bothers me when some people have to act stupid about some things (i.e., my signature, wooo hooo). it gets kinda personal in my opinion. but i could see, seeing as it is an inside joke between my friends and i...

My opinion on the aluminum wing topic is that i would put one on my car, if, and only if, it was a black car with a black wing. I am into having exterior colors match.
