im looking into some spoilers. I'd like something noticeable, 180sx is too small, 326 is too rare and expensive, wangans are ugly, oem are useless, only thing left is gt style. I do like the look of a moddest one. I found this one. Maybe not the best but it looks nice and should be decent quality. opinions?

I'm gonna get flamed for this but I love big wings on the right car. It that's your car in your sig then I say it can pull it off. car needs the right stance and body kit to pull off a huge wing like that.

idk i used to like them. now i dont though. theyre just so big but they dont give it a aggressive look. and they never seem to fit well. im going for both looks and function. its adjustable so that would be nice. what i really like about it is the molded side fins. they look tacky when theyre bolted on.

Do it. BGWs are awesome and your car is clean enough to pull it off

Yea I have some weird fetish about track cars with huge spoilers. It might look alright considering your car can pull it off. But you'll have to answer the question "So does it need it?" from every import hating mustang toolbag that sees it.

Exactly. And unless you're packing some power under the hood, you're just gonna have to take their sh*t talking. That's why I say S14 Kouki wing. It's OEM goodness and more unique than the usual s13 kouki spoiler, but still aggressive enough to make a statement. A statment that says: I've got style and I'm not a ricer.

Please don't do that too your car for looks. Do it if you really need the control at high speeds. Otherwise your car looks fantastic the way it is. I would hate to see that go to waste because of a wing.

but imo on your car i dig it. on a bone stock looking car no.
but if i were going to spend 400 id look for a legit wing that doesnt bolt to the trunk but actually to the body itself

I love decked out 240s with flamboyant body kits and overly compensated wings, but on a street car? I always thought that was kinda weird. Track- cool, street- ambivalent. You already have the body kit though, might as well finish it off with the wing. Has my vote.

As long as your car is dropped right with a fairly aggressive aero kit, the monster GT wings look pretty cool. Functional? Well, I doubt that unless you're doing some high speed racing, but hey, everyone has their own style, right?

cut the s*** about the lambo doors. it was either a attempt at a joke or he IS a ricer. this is for talking about wings only.

2. it will have bolt on fins
3. wont be adjustable
