The perception of a wing as ricey is usually reflective of the viewer. If you're all about image and not going fast (ie, a ricer) then it's ricey. If you race your car, you see something else entirely.

My perception of them changed totally since I became a track addict!

Someone sell me their CR wing! I want a black AND a white one. Thanks for the photoshop visual.
"pinned"????
Nice side shot Mocky. Any other photos of those wheels? (17"?). Any other Volk or Work wheels on CR's. Photos?

ahhh.... what is behind the door on the delete model? Seems there should be a pocket for sunglasses or something....

On the CR from lip / wing debate ran onto this image set on another thread....
"the problem with the CR Lip and Wing is its missing Widebody fenders and rear over fenders", "Problem solved", "CR Wing & Lip plus Wide fenders = Sex" The look does come together quite nice. The wheels look hot!
Anyone know where he got those fender flares from?

Agreed I see people saying that and go "Uh" I mean it's a functional wing. Just as functional as one would find on a GT3 and I've never heard anyone say the GT3 wing is ricey. Plus if one finds the rear ricey wouldn't the front be ricey as well?

I honestly don't mean any offense but why buy the CR to put in a soft top and take off the wing? It sounds like you just want the base model to begin with.

i tryed the wingless look did not like it the wing was meant to go with the CR. I feel it's like the EVO that big wing is just meant for the car. Keep it inless ur in a bind and need money but than why do you have a cr if thats the case

I like my car without the wing too, but I always end up putting it back on after getting on the freeway....

My personal threshold where I can feel a difference is about ~50 mph. With the top off, its REALLY noticeable.
