      Max you need to calm down, then agian so does everyone else. he asked for opinions...he got them. Although some WERENT constructive opinions they were still opinions. If he didnt want what he got he shouldnt have asked. FURTHERMORE in MY opinion...that wing is NOT going to help out his car at ALL. LOOKING like rice is besides the point. His car just ISNT fast enough for that wing to have an actual function. Its most likely ONLY going to help if his car is reaching speeds in excess of 150mph..which WHERE can he do that CONSTANTLY without getting caught? A dragstrip is nowhere near long enough...and lets face it he doesnt drive for Nascar and he sure isnt driving an indy car. hed be MUCH better off find another more tasteful and suitable spoiler for his car.

        well spoke Jason, thanks.
        after reviewing the ricecop.com i think that wing is kinda wired... i have never seen that kinda wing on a import here before. now i saw a lot...my bad. yeah like i said before "if your car is not FAST ENOUGH don't get it, it will not work..." anywayz, thanks Jason for backing me up :D so the best way is to get a stock TA's hatch...have a good night peoplez.

          I was thinking about getting a wing like that, then I slapped myself for ever considering it and will now be looking at getting a ta rear hatch and have a commando wing put on top of that.

              I think they are running a special on those wings. If you order right now you get a free 'VTEC' sticker. :D

                  IMHO that wing would not look good on ANY car and especially not on an F-Body. But it's your car so do what you want with it. [img]graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

                    Riddle me this...

                    If it works, and is fully functional, then why is it for sale in the EXTERIOR STYLING section of that page?

                    Food for thought... :D

                        Both of those TAs are ugly.
                        If you're set on turning your car into an ugly ricer piece of crap, go right ahead. It is 'your' car afterall :rolleyes:

                          I really think that some of you get too critical and take this shiat about what is rice or not too far. Like a read from a member’s signature….. “Opinions are like azz holes, everybody have one” But there is a difference between an opinion and been judgmental.

                          IMO a wing or spoiler is something cosmetic. Just like the GFX, Tail lights covers, Solar wing, nose bra, Chrome Wheels etc etc etc. Last time I check 55MPH was the limit on most of our HW's........and you guys are going to tell me about functionality? Come on guys!!!..... 99% of all Spoiler or wings out there are for mere looks.

                          I am a big supporter of individuality and when I add something cosmetically to my car I am thinking about enhancing the appearance (according to my taste) and not thinking that it will look like I add 20 hp to the damn car. Beauty depends on the eyes of the beholder.

                          There are a lot of appearance parts I don’t like, but is not my business to tell someone that is rice or not. Of Course unless you put a V8, T/A, Formula Sticker ect on a V6………. The rest is just mere cosmetic enhancement depending on the taste of that specific individual.

                          Don’t get mad If a New Altima V6 or 300M owner use the same thought line as you guys………. He could easily say…… “Those V6 Fbody owners are just a bunch of rice boys……. Having a car that looks that it could fly but they have only 200 pony’s under their hoods”


                          Back off a little bit you rice critics!!! Should I have to remind you that this forum is call “Appearance”?

                          By the way, I don’t like that particular wing but I don’t find it rice……………… :D

                          PS
                          I case you miss my point............. IMO if you like it and think it will look Cool and you have the ca$h…. go for it! But if you are doing it just to mislead or to deceive….hummmmmm!!!Still your prerogative, but you are just lying to yourself.

                                yeah except in the picture with the yellow bird...its actually a race car, the wing actually does something, as to our little v6's where it wont do jack considering we're limited to like 118mph.
