GT wing for my car?

[BobbyBoy]

Still deciding on what to do with the rear end of my car. Originally i was going to make an extended length fiberglass lip spoiler like the gp sports one or the origin, or without the chuncky overhang.

I think a GT wing would look okay on my car, but not my style. Then I saw this blue CF GT wing from DDrug

Still not sure what to do

They also have some sick CF hoods that i wish I knew about.

no to the gt wing imo, your car looks very clean and that wing wont go with it

[TokyoNights]

If its strictly a street car then no
If you track it alot they yeah and chrome graphix:)

[Ian]

i kinda like the sparkle lol

[Sil Beer S13]

I want a sparkle hood!!!!

[Ian]

i want a sparkle car...and i know how to do it


fresh paint+box fan+glitter=sparkle effect

[mr_240sx]

in my opinion, a fiberglass wing would look better on your car then a gt wing! something like a kouki wing or an r32 wing would look awesome!

[Ian]

i personally think that the blue CF could look good, i donno how it'll contrast with your car though

[mr_240sx]

thats very true about the contrasting thing. who knows, the blue might be a different tone which might look funny! or it also might look really good, its a gamble i guess!

[Sil Beer S13]

No really I want that hood who imports them?

[ScottMan]

^Touge Factory

[pruto]

its all about the clean lines

[Ian]

i've seen a car that had paint liek that sparke hood though, it was black and glitter like that, looked really cool for a minute...then really gay for the rest of the time :-\

[Drunk Bastard]

bobby, keep the car wingless!!! :axe:

[AlligatorBling]

i dont like gt ::coughcoughriceboycoughcough:: wings, but thats my opinion... if you like it go for it, but im almost willing to bet that you will grow out of it and regret putting it on later....

::edit: on second though, if you like it, still dont go for it. you will thank me later.

[Daniel]

that car must have had a ton of work done on it. It's amazing!

[TokyoNights]

its all about the clean lines
I saw you in OPTION an while back, damn that track was bumpy!

[Grip Gambler]

get the wing

[mellojoe]

wingless. Cleanner est better.

[zero.counter]

It's funny you mentioned that specific wing as it caught my eye as well. You're car would look Video Option worthy! ;)

[Dousan_PG]

wingless
but get the D drug hood!

[linkwpc]

thats one ugly rice wing! :aw: :ghey: Only put if you race on the track A LOT!

[Ian]

to be honest, i think the car is good the way it is..i mean, if it already looks awesome...why spend more money on something you're debating?

w/ these parts? your car looks a little more raced/riced out, depending on the way you look at it

w/o these parts? your car looks good (already established) and you saved like 2 grand

[zero.counter]

Only put if you race on the track A LOT!
Just a question, how would the wing REALLY help whether he is on the track or not?

Drag...maybe. But anyother type of event...????

Again, just a question... :bow:

[pruto]

I saw you in OPTION an while back, damn that track was bumpy!

oh god, no, option, as in D1 driver search. i try to forget that event.

[TokyoNights]

i try to forget that event.
hehe I wouldnt blame ya

[BobbyBoy]

No GT wing it is, I was trying to guage interest in it, and the money saved is better spent on motorwork.

I think I am going to develop a lip spoiler similar to the GP sports lip spoiler but a little longer, or maybe one like the sealzone/onleine 180sx.

Plus becasue of my relationship with andysautosport I could have them replicated and available to the rest of the forum members instead of a one off for my car.


So the new question now is what kind of lip spoiler are you guys interested in? I am not sure of the price, which will probably be determined in production numbers.

[r-b-x]

i thought about a molded lip spoiler as well, where the trunk extenstion hangs over the tail lights, kinda like the rsx (wingless) or late 80's amg. of course, i don't have the means to do such a thing nor is it a high priority mod, so i say go for that and see how it turns out. it's gonna be unique... on s13's...

[Ian]

i think it looks absolutely fine w/o a wing at all

[mr_240sx]

you mean something like the new monte carlos?

[HyperTek]

get the wing and cf hood, then some decals and you will look like a Formula D car haha..

[mr_240sx]

and it will also look riced out, right now his car looks very clean and he should keep it that way.

[Var]

you got 2 grand? this is what you need

[DocTaDrifT]

i like the spoiler on my solara if any knows wat it looks like i wish i could get one for my S14

[justinhustle]

i know what it looks like, its a flat wing that hangs off the trunk

kinda like the bomex one i have for sale ;)

[Shin_Kudo]

DDrug stuff is freakin' HOT. Colored CF = awesome. Maybe even RAD!

Personally, though, I think you should rock that limited edition DDrug hood with the painting of the waves on it!

[RBS14]

GT wings are the hotness if you have the balls to build the car to make it look right.

case in point....

[KiDyNomiTe]

I vote for wing and atlantic blue hood. Your car has a wide stance, and the wing would work, but seems you already decided.

[nightwalker]

man, just do what you want. It doesn't matter what we all think, just what the cops think.

[mr_240sx]

man, just do what you want. It doesn't matter what we all think, just what the cops think.
very very true!

[Shin_Kudo]

Wow, what kit is on the rest of that red car? That's exactly how I want mine to look, except white.

[Brian]

BN sports of course.



in other news, the red car has 215/40 on a 10 inch. haha yeah!

[RBS14]

so incredibly hot. I also love how there are no holes for winkers in the front bumper. Real men have their turn signals in their corner markers. Right BH? haha

[Brian]

damn right!
weight savings + cool factor = total win situation.

[RBS14]

werd. It only took me an afternoon. definately worth it. Looks soooo much better.

[mr_240sx]

Real men have their turn signals in their corner markers. Right BH? haha
real men eh? so you trying to say if we have turn signals then we are losers because we dont have corners markers?

[Brian]

sarcasm is a way of speaking.

[mr_240sx]

sarcasm is a way of speaking.
DOUGH!! :bash: I forgot to turn on my sarcasm detector!!

[O-Mikey]

i know you already sort of decided, but i would go wingless. it looks better and is clean and suits most silvias/180SX's/240SX's/etc.

but yes, do what you like, and what suits you.

[mr_240sx]

you know what! you build a car for yourself! for what you like! you shouldnt care what people think and dont let them make the decisions for you because if people start making decisions for you then whos building the car? i think its alright to ask opinions just like you did but because somebody says go wingless doesnt mean that thats what you need to do! comprendais?

[BobbyBoy]

Well the easy decision is to go wingless, it is the least amount of work, and money and it looks good. However I am trying to retire the car from street usage as I keep getting pulled over, and am debating weather or not to add a wing since everyone keeps saying that its not complete without it. Also the benefits from a wing when I track the car.

I think itll look decent with or without a wing or lip spoiler, so just getting more opinions.

[Ian]

well a lip spoiler will do you absolutely no good on a track car so nix that idea
