IMHO, the Mugen 3-piece is probably the most efficient of all the rear spoilers. Veilside's "batscorcher" wings are hilarious - add weight, drag, no benefit.

The veilside is the rear spoiler, not a seperate wing, right? That makes more aero sense to me. Unless you're serious about racing it - I know there are a bunch of west coast guys that have dedicated track cars w/wings.

One of those wings has all sorts of odd curves and shapes to look cool, i.e. F1-style. I really like seeing those on fwd cars
I dunno..i guess i don't really NEED the wing for functionality...i just like the look of it..
the veilside one looks pretty similar to the oem one

Veilside wing == BAUW
Veilside Spoiler == Subtle, clean.

Thur, Fri, Sat Chris (crbid) and I are splitting a room. Wed. night, though...


Oh, and as for beer - Newcastle only for me.

Rear wings? Silly on a street car. Unless you've spent time in a tunnel. That one pic of the SS wing - way too much angle, it's in stall just sittin still.
