Dissing the wing on my car.....

It seems like out of the 23 responses just about everyone agrees I have bad taste in the wing department. That's cool I appreciate all the honest responses. But hey, the wing was free so I can't complain. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a wing for me. Also to clarify for everyone, my HP rating on the page says 200 HP. Now that is just a guesstimate on my part including the nitrous. Without it I am sure it's only doing 150 maybe. The NOS is a kind of custom type deal a buddy of mine did for me. I've used it once, and probably wont do it again. The car hasen't been the same since.

Here it is. I found it his member rides page. Click Here

Actually, I don't like those wings at all but I have to admit your ride looks pretty damn sweet.

Why could I not find it then I filter down to just "A" ? Oh well .... That is the wing I wanted if it is the Carbon Fiber one but I am glad I saw it cause I didnt know it was that big.... Does anyone have a pic of that Kaminari wing but with the carbon blade on it..... the web site just showed the regular one.....

that alumnium wing looks nice if it was on a really really fast car. i strongly doubt that out 7th gen civics are that fast..... i personally like OEM styling.

I think it looks alright I guess, but it would look a lot better if it was an inch or three shorter. It's freakin huge!

If you don't mess with your Member's Ride section, it will stop linking to your page. It's still there, you just have to go directly to it. All I did was go to someone else's page, and in the URL, you'll notice at the end there is an = . After that I just put his member ride name. I also found yours doing the same thing. Your page is there but something happened to your pics.

If you only have the wing on your car, I give you a thumbs down.

However, if you have the wing with the body kit, you've done a grand job.

If you just have the kit without the wing, ugh... your ride is incomplete.

And if your ride has the kit, the wing, and the hood, I don't like your taste in hoods.

APS do not car what people think about your car, it is after all YOUR CAR. you have to drive it you have to be seen in it.

And by the way, I actually think your car looks pretty tight, the wing looks good.
