and on that lil topic of the ricers...those cars would come up against alot of V8's, chew them up and spit them out while still in 1st gear! my dad has a twin turbo supra, and i can tell you first hand after driving this beast that its not something to be laughed at AT ALL!

Usually when people are refuring to ricers they are more talkin about something like a standard Honda Civic with a huge body kit, neons, fake blow off noise making gadget, etc etc. Your talkin about genuine imports (I know they are still called ricers) which are acually fast and dont just look like they are ment to go fast. In saying that how ever... If i strap a decent sized turbo or vortech supercharger to an Ls1 or Ls2 V8, i would say that almost any "ricer" would be left scratchin his head in a cloud of smoke.

i think a nice basic twing that sits a little off the back edge with small side fins [ not huge junk ones ] would look alright but for daily driving or even the occasional track day, not worth the normal drag.

I think the money should go toward some functional bonnet vents, suspension and transmission work and a tasteful kit to make the most of the engine

Thats Gold... ??? SlowVR you forgot to mention doing it just for imatation !!!!

also have you looked at your fake fibreglass Clubsport bumper lately ?

It hardly serves any more of a purpose than the original does it ??? Or have you got ducted v8 brake coolers or something help cool down your brakes when you slow your v6 granny mobile down from warp speed ? :D

@ shanhsv :: if you reckon it looks cool then do it... but get yourself some stronger hydraulic boot stays

On the right car a t wing can look great just aslong as its not too high. If you want to do it, it's your car and no one else's.
