Turby skirts would look good with that kit I think


and yeah, the wing is just wrong

 

14" rims? Why?

 

I just got new tires for the 14" steelie rims. I am a college student who doesnt work during school.......I dont have any money to spend on bigger rims and new tires! Im trying over here :-) dont got to much to work with :-(

 

^^ So what size are you wheels right now? Will a 14" rim fit on the wheels that you currently have because $150 seems pretty steep for a set of rims.

^^ What he said.


Agreed as well. If you're skirts dragged before than remove the front and rear bumper and go with a lip kit.

I haven't looked into any of your threads or seen you before, but I hope you didn't pay much for that car (assuming you bought it like that). If you put that stuff on there then you should see a physchiatrist. In all honesty remove the kit to start. Go back to stock, get a decent lip kit if you want the "aftermarket" look of the car. Next have the holes in the trunk patched properly so that it doesn't look horrid and either go wingless, pay the money for the nice shark wing, or leave the wing on there. Then go for wheels later on when you have your theme worked out and know the wheels will match.

There's a reason that wing was only $20. For one, it's huge. Secondly, it looks ridiculous. Third and probably most importantly is it probably weighs a lot. This means that you will need upgrade trunk struts to keep your hatch open and they will wear out faster. Also you will get a lot of noise on the hatch with that wing, probably suffer mileage wise, and you will get a lot of added turbulence at higher speeds as that wing isn't designed in any way for proper down force. This is assuming you have the money to properly mount it on your car in the first place.

 

I got the 98 tib with 76000 miles with the body kit and everything for $1600. Mechanically it is all sounds and works well. Just trying to make it look a little more unique.

 

There's more than one way to be "unique." If you like how it looks then go for it, however, most members on here, as well as I'm sure locals will, will laugh.

 

Yeah I agree. Maybe I will try to get more money out of the wing and try to find a shark wing.

 

Even if you cant get the shark wing, look for the Kombat Wing. Its identical to the shark wing, except it doesnt have the center pedestal, and its about half the cost. I have it on my RD2

 

That looks really good! Im looking for one right now! Where did you get that little shade thing on the top of the back window?

 

Its a hatch spoiler. I got it from SR back in the day (along with 2 others). Ive gone through all 3 because they dont like to stay on very well (only held on with double sided tape), so if you do above 70...they tend to fly off and hit cars behind you. I have first hand experience with that happening. *haha* tongue.gif
