For A street car I would just use something that is like the APR wings when you are at the track and go wingless on the street. Personally I think that is a better Idea. When one of our customers had an APR wing on their car they said they lost about 2-3mpg haha. DOWNFORCE!

And for the "lol wtf bigass wing on a civic" there is no point, so it is worth laughing at. It's a no hp, fwd, and not even a fraction of a track car to have something of this calibra. I guess you could take it off for dd. But why? It makes a statment about what your about. Last edited by SPOHN; 12-21-2010 at 07:25 PM. |

Civic wings are park benches that add no real purpose, these wings are designed to create downforce and are proven.

I am not a big fan of it.
If I had to pick a wing from what I have seen up to now I would actually pick the one the OP posted, its not too big and it seems to flow pretty nicely with the car |

I would ask that you hold you're negative comments to threads that are asking for opinions.
You have been pretty active recently and thats fine but if you don't have nothing nice to say move on to another thread. |

Over half of my miles are on the track, so its worth it for me. It does cost me mileage. I don't drive enough on the street to really know how much, but I got 22 on the way up to Road America in October.
I do know that when trailering my car, I have lost 2mpg in the tow vehicle. Future long trips will have me unbolt the wing and put it in the car next season.

I have to say, the worst thing about it is cruising on the highway.
Just going along, minding my own business, keeping right except to pass, and a car comes up quick, then parks on my back bumper gawking and taking cell phone pics, all the while me coming up on slower traffic and wanting to get over. that is very frustrating.

such a interesting forum where everybody thinks every single thing is perfect. Quote:
but then again, most can be unbolted like you said. it just irritates me when im in traffic and I see a subaru or whatever with a big *** aftermarket wing going 30, I just start thinking, why in godsname. I am more a fan of the more subtle wing. |

Park Benches unless you really track or race your car.

Mike, Bullitt and Anthony. Thanks for your inputs Last edited by Sibze; 12-21-2010 at 11:09 PM. |
