    No not needing you to prove anything to me.

    i want you to explain what is really important to you....."speed only" or looks.

    i hope that's your boosted car in the sig because it qualifies under "speed only", But there are things you probably wouldn't add to it even though you'd be faster. Granted if the stock look is what you like better, then that's fine but knocking a civic with a wing just cause you think it does nothing at 45mph is unjust.

    Yellow Factory's eg runs 1.02 min laps at Tsukuba - what if you saw it on the street.


    i guess i'm biased towards thinking about the track or mtn run. That's why i see nothing wrong with wings. I guess it's more about what you want out of your car.

    A wing is functional at 45 mph.... it's adding weight to the vehicle.

    I think it's obvious that I'm about speed over looks. Yes that is my car in my signature. The only thing that makes my car look different than stock is the huge fmic, missing stock plastic grill (to provide more air flow to fmic), 17" SSR Competitions, Bilstein coilovers, and single 3" exhaust. Oh, I do have a single exhaust cap to cover the stock 2nd hole for the OEM dual exhaust that is no longer there. I also have JDM clear headlight diffusers and sidemarkers to replace the ugly amber on a red car. The rest of the car is factory.

    What are you implying that I wouldn't add to the car that would make it faster? I rarely drive my car over 80mph so adding a wing is pointless.

    That Civic is a highly tuned vehicle - are you really saying that some kid with an intake and heavy 18" cast wheels really needs a wing while cruising around town?

    If a car really needs extra weight in the rear at 45 mph, then there are a lot cheaper ways to do so without having to spend several hundred (or 1000+) on a wing. 50 pound bags of sand are 3.00 from Home Depot

    But you still replaced your ambers because the amber ones looked ugly and painted your brake calibers and you do have a wing on your car. That to me proves that almost every tuner is concerned about the looks of their car as well. BTW nice s2k
