ok im goin to try and post this pic on here it's the 1st time i've done this so i hope it works. Neway, I've been wanting to put a wing on my car ever since i got it but i know some of them r really huge and ricey so i didn't want to go with a big ass wing just something kewl and subtle. I really like this wing and it is on at the GroupBuyCenter for only $170!! which is cheap (usually $200-$300) Neway, just wanted to show it to ya and c what ya think, lol i really like it so don't be to harsh lol. THANKS

BTW, what are u going to be putting it on? S14, S13 hatch coupe.

I think it would look better on a Coupe.

Im not a big fan of huge wings.  So...no I do not like that wing.  Suttle or no wings are the best.

you know what would be badass, if that wing can retract into the trunk, &nbsp;like the porsches n shit. then it would be useful and functional.

You should only have a wing like that if your car is a track-only car and it's putting out over 600hp or so, THEN you'd need all that downforce... otherwise it's pointless (especially on that #### Civic).

P.S. All that Civic needs is wings, silver paint and &quot;American Airlines&quot; on each side, and it's ready to take flight! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

No offense, but should that statement and pic even be in the same post? &nbsp;IMHO, it's a big ass wing that is neither cool or subtle...sorry.

I have to agree with Whacked, wings that big are too gaudy and make your car look like a plane. My friends and I always make fun of those civics with combat wings big enough to fly a plane with. NEways you should do what makes you happy. After all its ur $$$$. Just my $.02

One more thing. I don't know where you live but when I was back in High School it was fairly common to have your wing (if it was that big) ripped right off your trunk and stolen. I knew some guys that used to do it all the time in Clearwater.

Do you regularly travel over 150 mph and need the extra downforce? If not, I'd say

Ridiculously
ricey wing that increases
drag coefficient.

How's that for a haiku? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

disclaimer: everything i say is simply my opinion

first off, civic, they aint gonna hit speeds that can even use that downforce
second, off, civic, they are fwd
third off, civic, with altezzas, i'm sure that civic is not altezza tuned, and do not deserve altezza tails, esp when it makes em look uglier
fourth, that spoiler is ugly, i personally like the rounder spoilers and not the bony sheet metal looking kinds

all that added together gives you...

This is what I consider subtle. I love the look of the CWest mini spoiler...reminds me of the M5 spoiler. I definitely want this after I take my factory one off...Hey...Anyone out there with an emerald blue '95-'96 base model without the spoiler that would like to trade trunk lids for one with a spoiler? :biggrin: Anyways...this is Rich Bjornson's ride from <a href="www.fatman-racing.com" target='_blank'>www.fatman-racing.com</a>
