Hey NICO,

GTP/Cwings is nearly done with my car and I should be able to pick it up tomorrow...

The big question is:

So far, here is the list of the exterior mods body kit wise....

Front:Cwest Style Carbon Fiber S15 Front Bumper Masa Copied Vented S14.5 Carbon Fiber FendersS15 OEM Style Carbon Fiber Hood

Sides:Gotta buy something, they don't make sides

Rear: Nismo Copied Carbon Fiber 3-Piece Rear Bumper

Mirrors:Cwest Style Carbon Fiber Mirrors

Wing:???

I am waiting on pics of my car, but I can give you guys an idea of what it looks like.

I want your opinions on whether to go with a wing or no wing. If I go with a Cwings wing, it has to be the GT Carbon Fiber Wing.

Lets hear what you think?

some pics would definately help, but from what it sound like you went all out on carbon fiber. without seeing the car or the wing i would say go with the wing, but that would be for the fact that i like to stay with a theme on cars.

I have the eyebrows as well as the canards on my bumper.

The car is a demo car for my shop. Our goal was to build one of the top 240's in the United States. We are skimping on anything.

im not a fan of those style wings, but it looks really nice on that pic with the full Cwest.

I would suggest the Nismo wing, it looks nice.

imma look around for more pics of the full Cwest car and see with those style wings...

it honesty depends on the kit in my eyes

I say go wingless. I think it looks outstanding as is. and if someone comes into your shop and asks, "where's the wing?!?!", I give you full permission to relieve yourself on them. Very nice car.

My biggest problem with the S15 front end is that it ends up making the stock S14 rear end look too plain. I'm all for the clean look (no spoiler) with the stock S14 front end, but I think a S14.5 needs some kinda spoiler.

That car is sweeeet!Is that the car they call Blue Flame? Didnt it have an SR under the hood? I think that color is from Audi, right??

Underground,

If whats in the pic is what you are wanting an opinion on, i wouldnt go with that one. You ahve a body kit that flows well with the factory body lines, and that wing would break that up. It doesnt seem to fit well with the car. Go with the factory k"S wing if you want somethign to stand out, but not to look gawdy. It will fit well with that factory jdm rear bumber--by the way, are you going to paint that opr leave it CF--that is a really nice touch with the rear bumper in CF.

I would really hope they make the Carbon Fiber parts for the public, that would be crazy not too. Perhaps he was confused, my car is a demo car for them as well, so I'm sure they wil make the parts available to the public.

BTW- The Rear bumper came from Cwings/GTP.

Thanks!
