no but i am socalizing it. 
the wing is still at a negative angle at the lowest setting on the pedestals, and I had the choice of either cutting the front of the pedestals or making extensions for the back of the pedestals. Just gotta go get some aluminum to make some simple extensions

How much quicker did the car feel with them and how bad did it affect gas mileage??? I am thinking about buying gears this summer. I bought an AP2 front bumper a couple days ago my next project is to shave the tag and tow hook cover and spray it

the car felt so damn fast with just 4.77s. once you get em you don't have to floor it and hope VTEC comes soon enough. it pulls decently throughout the rpms. it's a lot of fun. it's like a perfect gear for DDing in my opinion because pulling power is always there once you're not in too high of a gear. it didn't affect my gas mileage at all. but i don't DD on the highway. if you DD on the highway you might see a little less gas mileage. but keep in mind it's only 600rpm higher than stock gearing.
I have a truck now for my DD but i drive each 50/50 and its mostly highway at 65mph or so

I would leave it the way it is now. It'll force you to drive slower. Otherwise, your trunk and wing will fly off your car from the lift generated by the big azz wing.
