functional wing
thats what made it look funny when i first got it, from directly behind it looks funny, just have to get use to it...and aeron, ive been meaning to ask you, do you have billet winglets on ur wing or are they like black painted, i cant tell with the light
Get what looks good to you because very few people on this forum actually have cars that need to worry about downforce so just get what you think looks good.
i have a steeda wing on my SN95 and i think it looks great i upgraded from the ricer shopping cart wing that was on it when i bought the car

You do all realise that a wing that is truly functional in creating downforce (negative lift) creates additional drag--right? A lot of it...
Any wing thats creates lift, be it negative or positive lift, does so by converting the energy needed to push it through the air (against its grag) into lift--the more lift created, the more drag, and the more power required to push the wing through the air.
The induced drag is proportional to the square of the lift (downforce for most automotive wings), meaning that a 2x increase in downforce requires a 4x increase in drag. There is no free lunch...

Quick google search came up with these...

I personally don't mind any functional wing, if you are actually going to be doing racing- this is where I see the difference between rice and performance/good looking
On a side note.. i see so many people that say everything is rice. its rather annoying. Just like "epic" people use rice way to liberally.
