To Wing or Not To Wing?

[fasto82]

Hello. I'm gonna be getting an 08 LX coupe in Atomic Blue in March. I'll be putting on a Raven Style Duraflex body kit, MB1 style fenders, a CF hood, projector headlights with 8000K HIDs, Tails, auto Lambo style door kit, 18" wheels and tinting the windows.

My question is to you, should i throw a wing on there. i was thinking the Acura RSX Type R style wing. what do yas think would flow good on there or if i should leave it wingless. let me know thanks.

Why not if you're gonna put all that other stuff on?!?...

j's racing wing... acura rsx wont fit....the mugen one is identical to the rsx one though.

I don't think a high rise spoiler looks very nice on the coupe. I think our cars look too bubbly for it to flow nice. Here's an example of how it'd look: zSpeedzKwy 's TW FG1

just dont get all that stuff and buy an si instead...

[Bandit03]

or get a drag style spoiler, i think those flow the best with our style, but if you are spending all that money why wouldnt you want a si

no thank you for the si. im looking for better gas mileage and to put together a show car. besides i hate driving stick. im too lazy for it and dont need to go faster than 70-90 which the lx is quite capable of and i am not going to be racing. anyways back on topic.

i kinda like that wing in the link you provided. its gonna be a tough decision.

so, you're putting together a show car. with no engine modifications and a whole lot of exterior flash? some show car lol. isn't that the definition of rice? people will see your car, expect it to be fast, and then be pleasantly surprised off the line.

*edit: however, i think that wing on that TW coupe looks fairly nice. reminds me of the concept car.

i will be doing a CAI and exhaust. other than than i will dress up the engine area. and maybe some day down the road after the warranty is up i will throw in a turbo. my neon had only a CAI and Exhaust on it for engine mods and i won plenty of shows with it.

To each his own. im out of the speed stage. im fine with looking good in your rearview mirror. and didnt you read where i typed i am not going to be racing around in this car. i am mature. no one will have a reason to be surprised off the line.

wing it

[si_dick]

definietly put a wing on it !

I think it will look better with a wing than without. I would recommend a drag spoiler or some sort of lip spoiler; I don't think a large GT style wing will look right. While the rest of the car is low slung and flowing there would be a giant appendage sticking up from the truck. I think maintaining a smooth flow will be key.

do the wing...the bigger the better...

I won't critique your mods, but with the stuff you have, it'd be awkward to not have a spoiler or wing on it. If anything, see if the Mugen DC5 wing will fit on it.

If you're going to make a "show car", you might as well get a retrofit. PnP HIDs probably won't cut the mustard anymore. Go crazy on the retro. Like a custom TL set-up.

where do u buy that spoiler? the civic type r one in the pics?

I will withhold my actual feelings on that to myself.
