I have to agree, I was feeling very sorry for the misfortunate incident. Then I see that Wing and I no longer felt sorry for the incident, more for the car with that hideous cancer growth.

Funny how our compassion changes as soon as we see that wing.

Perhaps they were filming Fast and the Furius II, except this time, in Michigan...

Or maybe a better explanation is that the rear wing is actually a snow shovel that has been tucked up while not in use... it looks like it could remove a lot of snow when the car is in reverse. Otherwise, why would it be there ? No sane person would purposely install that one their car otherwise, right ??

Since you asked...personally I think Mugen spoiler (I'm assuming the 3 piece) looks like a dust pan. I'll skip it if I were you.

That 'big-wing look' is very hip in Japan. If that's what you like, don't worry about what others think. Personally, since you did asked, I think it really cheapens the look of the car (any of the wings, etc.), since they really aren't that functional. How many times will you be racing at the "Ring" in Germany at wide open throttle? Probably not in my lifetime. So then it's all about looks. I suspect my age is closer to most Viper owners then S2000 owners and for most of us any of that stuff looks like a bad joke but we don't dye our hair red either. The first time I saw a Mugen front bumper, I laughed, since it makes the look like the Joker in my opinion. It may be functional but it looks stupid to me.

Because you can drive it in the winter with the PROPER tires equipped to it. It's a Honda, not a Lamborghini. It won't kill it to see snow. Actually...it is kind of fun to drift it in the snow. WOOOO-HOOOO!!!

For some of us, this is our ONLY car and have no choice but to drive it in winter. I agree with previous comments, its a car just like everyone elses. I have stock tires on mine and it handles just fine in ALL weathers. I'm not scared to take it out in snow - Im just more careful.
