Eh i think if you want a wing and absolutely dont want the 180sx wing (the only one i would consider..but still not wear) then i think that would be a good choice. But if my car looked as good as yours i would leave it just the way it was. Wingless ftw IMO

i actually want one of these. but i dont think itll fit on a hatch. ive seen it on a coupe. but even still it fit like crap because of the s14 trunk beinged curved
Super clean, well done & aggressive cars with Lambo doors = my guilty pleasure... :facepalm:

But yeah anyways, there's an orange JDM hatch deeeeeeep in the 'Best Looking S13's Ever" thread with an S14 Kouki spoiler. It's girl owned, I believe. It was one of those scanned magazine posts. The guys that regularly post in that thread might be able to help find it. I think it was around the 80's or 90's pages... :gotme

It probably won't be bolt-on, but it will totally be worth the trouble. DEW EEET...

Oh and BTW... 94_240sx installed an S14 Kouki spoiler on his vert. And his car is arguably the cleanest on NICO. Contact him if you want advice on doing it right.

i prefer wingless, but on your car it wouldn't look bad. Plus it isn't that high.

Folkert, I went looking for that pic of the hatch with the S14 kouki wing, but there's a bunch of pics missing from the Best Looking s13 thread around page 86... I think it was from JDMstyles or Kalypso... Ask them if they still got that pic...

My vote...No spoiler. Out of how many times that you drive your 240 do you exceed the speed limit that you would need a wing that is functional?
My estimate little to none. Please keep your 240 clean.
But all in all, do what you want man. It's your car not mine. Best of luck to you!

well the wing sold. ive been waiting for this guy to buy my custom fiberglass sub box, he acted like he would buy it, we agreed on a price. but he hasnt emailed me yet.

i guess its time to save for a turbo. i don't know much about them though, or what i need. so im going to have to start researching.

IMHO= folkertSX, you have a clean, cool s13 as it is. plus (from what i can tell) your hatch is spoilerless!, i would take that moneys and spend on some cheap brews and b.s. with friends about how the car would look had you did decide to put it on. :yesnod

just because we drive s13's doesnt mean we dont like having deep full sounding systems.. you guys are worse about systems or any kind than when i had my camaro and was on the camaro forum

Man would I love some better sounds in my S13! But rather than doing speaker boxes and whatnot (cuz I know squat about audio), I'mma try to find a car at the salvage yard that came with the factory Bose sound system. Even the old setups were crazy good and more than enough for me. Doesn't take much to beat my dinky Polk speakers...

factory bose system sucks donkey d!ck. it's not even bose, it's bottom of the barrel, paper coned clarion speakers and tweeters, with 2 s*** clarion amps. DON'T DO IT.

FolkertSX, this is why i don't post up anything about my car. i don't give a f*** who thinks what of my car, or what they think i should do with it. everyone has a suggestion as to what they would do/like and if you don't agree you=fail, you're a ricer/idiot/ghey, your car will suck, it's useless, etc. do you, and do what you like. you own the car, you pay for your mods, you fill the tank, you drive it. not me, or anyone else in the world. it's your car, make it yours, not nico's.

Hahaha ... have you seen some of the Rustangs that compete with the "import" market? Most Mustangs have been so played out that in order to be any different from the next stang owner they resort to tactics like these ... do they really need this?: :woot:

... and I've had Mustangs so I can rag on them ('76 Cobra II, '88 5.0 LX, '98 Cobra)! Some wings look good, some just plain don't. Do what you want asthetically, but just remember you're not a Lemans or NHRA racer and really won't get a functional use for it. So just make it look good. :dblthumb:

Oh for real?! I was in a newer Altima (like a 2004+ model) the other day and that b*tch was loud as hell! I'm trying to get something that beats like that without too much trouble. Factory like that is a NO-GO, though? :gotme

well, if you retro a set-up from a different car it might be ok (as long as you aren't an audiophile). but the 6 speaker system that was optional for s14's is horrible.

My stock s14 speakers sounds ALOT better than my S13 and the S13 has aftermarket Polk speakers. I'm not a huge audio nut, I just want something decent. I think that Altima's stock sound set a benchmark for me that I would to target...

dude he had 2 8's in a very clean box. im sure it sounded very nice and crisp and not over powering. you need to stop with your "im so mature and your only 16"

fyi im 22 and i love a good sounding system with a small sub and clean highs. im probably going to put 2 8's in my car as well you gonna hate on me too. oh and i have everything for ka-t. still hating?

thanks man. i feel the same way about everything he said. in fact i dont even think he saw my other post of the box or he wouldve taken back what he said instead of saying" o your 16, and a ricer, but dont worry, you'll become mature someday like the rest of us"

whatever, people can talk s***, im sorry i wanted a decent stereo and experience with fiberglass...my bad

Do it just bolt it to the body of the car through the trunk. Your car can definitely pull it off.

dude your car is cooler than most cars on here so f*** it dont listen to them and do what you want. i think that wing wouldve looked pretty cool but you should dial in your wheel fitment first.
