I like the whole blacked out look, just not a fan of huge wings at all.. I say if a car needs a wing that big on the track it shouldn't be a street car.

i think tinting the windows will help complete the blacked out look as well..


black with black interior though you can't lose.

already have spacers. just havent put it on. with the spacers on i would be running 17x9 -1 front and 17x9 -6 rear. boost is scheduled for next year along with a 5 speed swap.

But, if you are gonna track the thing ok but for drag that wing isn't gonna do anything to help. Myself like some other are not a fan of the endcaps on the wing and I think if the car had some kinda kit that was tasteful on it the rest would flow better. I think you are gonna head in the right direction just need to take care of some odds and ends with the rest of the car.
im stuck with the endcaps. tried to take them off before but i think the screw is stripped in the inside.

I really hate the blacked out look. I especially hate black taillights. I almost rear ended someone because I couldn't tell they were braking, I really think they are a hazard.

If it fits your tastes though, carry on.
i made sure people could clearly see my lights. mine are still pretty bright. ill take a night time pic and video to show you. i had the taillights on when i was blacking them out so i can be sure that you can still see through it perfectly fine.

That would look dope
the kit im getting isnt anything too aggressive. just a basic lip kit.

they're pretty ok here. as long as you dont drive like an idiot they dont care. plus they run your plates before pulling you over. i got pulled over a lot in the gtr the first year i had it. after that i think they put a note on my file that im pretty harmless. in fact im one of the most polite people you'll see when talking to a cop. so they tend to let me be. my gtr even popped a fireball right as i was passing by a cop. he didnt mind me and just kept driving.

Your wheels remind me of an older mustang, and the wing reminds me of a Civic

Not my style at all, but it's not my car so it doesn't matter what I think

Not a fan of the wing, I would wait until the car is ready to actually hit track before I put it on and rock it at the track only.

that would mean i would either have a hole in my trunk when im not at the track or id have brackets sticking out and look like some stole my wing. i really appreciate all the input from everyone as the bashing has been kept to a minimum. i wouldnt even call it bashing. lol. i really love the wing and got it for pretty much nothing.

I think it'd look great without a full kit, maybe just a very aggressive front bumper, like the Vertex front with the canards, they'd help pull off the look with your large wing. And i love Super Advans, if those were 19s or at least 18s, it'd look sweet.

i really appreciate all the honest opinions in this thread. its safe to say majority of the people here dont like the wing. i do have a use for the wing though as i will be tracking the car a lot pretty soon. given my suspension setup and adding a lsd soon i dont want to loose traction when i dont want to.

i'm not sure "i'm gona be drifting it eventually" is a valid justification for that wing. if you think it looks cool, just say it.
the car as a whole isn't my style, never really caught on to the murdered out look.
