Check your local airport.

But really, to me they look like any wing you could buy out of any import magazine.

Unless it's a seriously fast race car that needs the downforce it's 100% rice. Everyone will laugh at you, it'll cause drag making you slower and lowering your gas milage.

RE Amemiya makes an FC wing, and you can get some brackets from AutoRnD, but for the love of god don't do it on a street car, it's rediculous.

Just leave it alone. Those wings look like crap. The only one that looks good is an RE, and thats still too much for the street.

different strokes for different folks.. i dont tHink he asked for your opinion. Not everyone wants to drive a typical FC.


A wing is still functional, regardless if it is on a street car, it could be a weekend racecar/weekday driver. Or a show car.

Well I guess it might do its function of creating downforce (and drag), so in that respect it's functional, but that function is not being taken advantage of, so from a realistic and useful point of view it's completely useless.

I like my RE spoiler.. I will shoot pics tonight if I get a chance

I know some dont like them some do I have no problem with everyone else using what they want.. as long as they dont copy me Icould care less..

at the end of the day the only car I have to respect is my own..

just like the poster above me look at his sig.. that hood looks worse then the spoiler.. maybe it was needed (which it was) but why not spend the money on a real reverse hood.. btw not knockin ya I know the story I would have done the same thing..


just trying to back up the guy getting pumbled.

Search for universal C-West GT wings.
http://www.c-westusa.com

Corvis, Panspeed, and FEED made similar GT style wings, but I don't have any web links for them.

If you just want a cheapie ricer type wing for putting around town, Bomz makes knock-offs of the above race wings.

doood guys dont hate! Its the drifting scene. Im tired of guys hating us slammed, camber, stretched tires, bigwheels, drifter guys..Its just a style. Its so rare to see FCs drifting. Dood the wing is not too much for the street if your a street swanger. jk We all own rx7s and should respect eachothers types of styles.. I mean look how rare it is to find a fc guy that drifts, comepared to nissans or toyotas. you should bow down to the drifter jk lol
Ive been looking for a Gt wing for awhile too. I love the BN sports wing, or BB garages. But theyre all from japan, and costs alot of money and hard to find.. Thinking of just making my own brackets, and getting a carbon wing to mount with it.

the bn wing is as awesome as it is huge but its one off. best 2nd gen wing you can get out of the box, to me, is the odula one.

cant find my pics, but got to love it




wait edit, odula:

he most likely is not a serious racer. and im sure he knows by now they do jack **** on the streets, assuming those two are true he holds form > function
not everybody that bought an fc bought it to race. most of them dont take it seriously. so i dont see the harm in getting one. guys that are serious about the sport will laugh, ppl that arent may actually like it for aesthetic reasons.
in all due respect please dont take this in anyway as an attack towards your ideals. im just saying for the sake of saying. and btw no i dont have one. i own a vert so im not defending his choices bc of having one myself.

peace and chicken grease

I'm just saying, everyone will point and laugh, so maybe don't do it. Now its their car and they can do whatever they want with it, but they'll have to grow some pretty thick skin or never take it out of the garage...

How about the highway? If you get one that is functional it will apply downforce but do you really need it? Probubly not.

With wheels like that it's hard to take it seriously. They must weigh 40lbs!

You won't be ahead of them. The drag from the wing will be slowing you down as they blow past you.
