^^^

finally someone who understands the wanting to do things to their car that other people might not find attractive tongue.gif

I'll def think long and hard about how the spoiler looks before i decide to put it on, but its actually the fact that i saw another car with this type of spoiler on it and i thought it looked really good, let me see if i can find a picture of it:


meh whatever, if i think it looks good ill put it on, if i think it looks bad i wont laugh.gif

just need to learn more about the actual car stuff and not worry to much about looks since peoples opinions differ

i do like the input though, either way

^^^i would tell that guy he was a ricer with a spoiler like that. you should either gett he stock USDM spoiler or the stock KDM spoiler or just leave it spoiler less. anything else for the most part is gonna be rice.

i realize that you have diffrent tastes from others on here and maybe you like spoilers like that. but not only are they ugly but they arent functional on street cars either. like you said you dont take your car to the track so why do you have a GT spoiler on the car then?? that dosnt make any sense at all.

i'm sure if you look around here you will find lots of things for your car at a reasonable price that will suit not only your taste but will also make your tiburon look serious instead of one of looking like one of those ricer cars that everyone jokes about.

as far as the spoiler goes, i think what people are saying is that there are better looking options out there.

see the spoiler in my signature (actually not my car anymore, sold it for a red rd1)? that's like the same TYPE of spoiler as yours, except i think most people will agree that it looks better.
it's painted, and matches the "flow" of the car.
plus, it's OEM! stock on some FX model RD1s.

sooo...

you go to college in point? know anyone from eau claire? this is the intro section, whats ur story?

also, how'd you find the site?

^^^ well for the record, i think the shark fin spoilers the oem ones, look really dumb, sorry guys, i think they look stupid.

so after looking up what a "riced out" car actually includes, i have decided that, i want to rice out my car rofl - so any more comments about my car looking riced out are going to be just compliments to me. tell me to go back to japan, but i want a really nice looking car. I guess im off to find some rice forums

hmm my story, well i went to oshkosh for my freshman year didn't care for the cross country coach so transferred to point, after a year i decided not to run anymore, and now im stuck in a hick town. originally from waukesha/milwaukee area and want to get the hell out of this town the second im done with school.

as for some people i know at eau claire: umm Ashley Rand, Dave McCarthy, Matt Werlein - dont know if you know any of them.



to be more serious - i do want to do engine modifications to my car, but only after i do the asethics first :| - I also have a suzuki sportbike which i use for most of my driving to work, so this car isint neccessarily my dd either.

oh well off to the rice forums laugh.gif

well, at least he admits it.

i still suggest removing the tuscani badges, because simply, you don't drive a tuscani. that's like putting a corvette badge on there. LOL.
and i would still suggest getting a different intake (AEM). more horsepower, better gas mileage, cool sound, better air filter for your engine. plus, for your rice pleasure, some are colored! i also believe they come with stickers.

ive got an aem copy here and i use to have an aem on my rd2. best intake ever. sounded awesome and added some good power. as for the whole tuscani thing, i did it to for a while. i had the tuscani lettering and 2.7 elisa badge. not sure why but i ended up getting rid of them and just leaving it clean. i learned a ton from this site and you will to. i look back at some of my dumber purchases and they definately were bad buys. oh well though, i learned

the cheapest aem on ebay is 200$ shipped

nothing in the 100 dollar range?

similar performance advantages without the amazing "AEM" name?
