well spoilerless on rd1 is another story.. i think it looks worse than with a spoiler cuz it doesn't have the lip that the rd2 has..

dtn, lmao.gif yeah, it was nice, but unless i love the look of something, i can't have it on the car. and i was offered a good chunk of $$$ for it. i was out of a job at the time, so any money helped.

^^^ditto on the rd1.

i still think the shark spoiler looks good on the rd2, i just think that nothing is hands and above anything else.

i've never liked the type r either.

^^word.gif But i think we can for the most part agree that the metal e-bay wings suck.

IMO a spoiler should be no higher then mid rear window.

like I always say, rd2 spoilers were made separate from the hatch lip. Rd2 should never ever have spoilers. Shark wings look great when the front bumpers are low like rally cars. Hell Peter Stevens (designer of mclaren f1) designed the f2 bumper and I think the balance of the two look like they were made by pininfarina. The Canadian SE with oem shark spoilers looks odd, add the f2 bumper it looks hot.

Coming from a ferrari guy, i dont think i like anything but what I mentioned above. Everything else looks Picasso.

I usually think everything HKC says is golden, but I disagree completely with his oppinion of spoilers. I think our cars need a spoiler to look like a sports car. Without the spoiler, it looks like a luxury car with no luxuries inside.

I think My Orange tib looks sexy without a wing,and my blue tib would look stupid without it ? It all depends if the wing flows with the looks., but if you want a wing for functionality/performance, looks come second.
