I have the Cusco GT rear spoiler and it kinda looks like that one but its black and weighs probably 10 pounds lighter. LOL

It looked good at first then I thought to myself I am too old for that look. To me its too ricey. If I raced and lived in Japan then yes this wing would be perfect but I dont. So I am in the process of selling my wing. I put 4 holes in my trunk and wish I wouldnt have. Now I have an appointment on the 15th of May to have my trunk holes filled and repainted.

Deathscythe, also you could check out the gallery section on here now and look into the "aftermarket parts" section and check out some of the wings and spoilers in there. I believe 1, if not 2 of the site's sponsors offer many Japanese (hard to get) parts. I personally, want the "Feels" spoiler and "Amuse" front lip. So give it a shot.

Thats the wing I got. I got it not for looks but to keep my ass firm at 90+. And for those people that say you need to be going beyond 120 for the wing to come into effect. These people obviously never drove an S2000 with my wing. The car just feels more secure at higher speeds. It looks OK on the car. I'v gotten a couple of bullshit remarks already. "Nice SPPPPOILER" ect. I don't really give two shits though.

At speed, however, the wing should help keep the rear wheels stabilized and reduce wheel spin during weight shifts. That being said, are there any GT wings or others for s2000 that are proven to provide useful downforce?

Anyone who feels this car NEEDS a wing to drive at high speeds perhaps should not be driving at those speeds to begin with.

The car is fine (if you know how to drive) at very high speeds with no spoiler.

No no no....I'm sure all these guys are talking about instability on the track at 90 MPH
