The swap is real easy. If you don't bother with the brake light, it's 10-15 minutes, tops. Add five more for the brake light.

I'm too old to be driving around on the street with a wing on my car.

I think you guys just cost me more money..searching for trunk lids.

Anyone want a deal on a brand new unpainted Mugen 3-piece spoiler?

I've been getting lazy to switch lids recently so on the street I try to avoid eye contact . And at work my usual excuse/explanation is that I'm taking the car in for some work preparing for an upcoming track event.
But every so often I get some kid pulling up beside me yelling with a big thumbs up .

You'll appreciate the wing at BW on Sunday too because the round trip through Riverside all the way to the bus stop is very long and very fast . Also fast through bus stop and club corner, even sunrise and sunset (unless you are vying for basement of speed ).

I'm too lazy to take it off ... and too old to care about the odd looks. My son says I need personalized plates:

I hope you guys are right about this wing stuff. I have lost my mind it seems.

I found the universal GTC-200 for $470 online (see link)

We just have to figure a way for you, Mike, Richard, and I to caravan when we're out. It won't look so silly then.

the 3000 mile distance might make it a bit difficult for you to join us, but ya don't want to look silly do you?!

Well the wing could double as a luggage rack.

I will just have to drive with my shades on around town and hope no one notices me.

What wing do you think I should go with for the tire trailer?


Will the extra down force help keep the car on the flatbed?

Has Honda (or anyone else) done any research on how much lift/downforce an S2000 is generating at triple-digit speeds with no wing in place?
