Personally, I like wings. I have the Honda wing, which isn't as strongly stated as the wing on Suki's car

But I appreciate different looking S2000's. I didn't go to any schools where identical uniforms were part of the dress code and have always believed that the world is a much more "colorful" place with variety.

Wings do help with stability (maybe not so much from the Honda wing), so if anyone ever gets hardcore into high speed racing, then a large wing should be one of the first things to look at. Until then it just a matter of what you like. Remember that no matter what you do, someone is not going to like it.......and some will shoot their negative opinion off. Of course, calling something "ghey" makes one look very intelligent

Pretty sure thats a mugen wing with some different end caps on the wing.
Not even close Mike. The bases are totally different and the Mugen wing is slanted instead of almost flat in the center. If you make it to Wake the Dragon, take a closer look at tenblade's car - you'll see the differences almost immediately.

I thought it was: excuses are like @ssholes - everyone has one and they all stink.


Thats the veilside wing, not mugen. THe mugen one isn't that high. I really want to get the feels type-1 wing. Simple yet awesome!

mugen or oem only
Agreed, this car needs to be kept out of ricers hands. I agree with individual tastes, but there is a difference between rice and nice!

I went with a spoiler. I think the wing is overkill.

Hey stupid! The author of this thread was soliciting opinions with regard to wings.

The OEM spoiler is nice.

I do notice that the dolts that glue all sorts of stupid crap on their cars, you never see at the track.

I responded to your post the way I did because of your verbage use: "ghey" and now "stupid". He was soliciting opinions - you gave yours very eloquently and I gave mine in response to yours. A little more tact on your part and you won't get this type of response.

I wasn't talking about the OEM Spoiler - I was talking about the OEM Wing.

yea poindexter your right, it was early in the morning and caffeine hadnt settled in on my earlier post made. Forgot the Mugen wing mounts are on the far sides where as this one in particular has them in the center and is arched instead of flat. Im out the window on what wing this is. Mugen looks 1000000x better IMO.
