So much this. I get told from some people my car is clean and they like it, then others come up and say "ah man, you need to tuck this bay, it looks like ****" or my favorite "man, you need to show this thing some love" all the meanwhile they are driving busted as Ef's.

I'm with you. I think I might flick someone in the eyeball for hacking up a Mugen wing.

Check out my build thread for more info.

4 sho... It's really all subjective. I mean everybody has a different taste, style, and budget when it comes to modding their vehicle. In rare cases though, I sometimes think its necessary to voice an opinion. Shed some light to the newbies/kiddies that way they become seasoned/ knowledgeable vets. We all started somewhere. Aka.. Constructive criticism.

Hmm... I like spoilers. Just not big bulky ones. DB's always look fresh with a DB8-R spoiler.

1st of all.. Good to know you're bettering your life. Some never get the chance to realize it or take action. 2nd... Indeed track days will give you motivation. Always gives me some whether it be live or on a video. Best of luck with your plans.

I know Mugen didn't make a wing for DB's but what about a replica? Wings West made a 1st Gen Mugen wing replica for the sedan. This was the original wing I wanted before I came up on a DB8R wing.

old photo that I don't think I posted with my lady walking out. Soon brotha, gonna likely be sitting in a sought-for-sooooo-long Integra 4DR RS!!!!



I've always wanted to see how the DC5 Mugen wing looked on the DB chassis. Shoot, I wouldn't mind slapping/modding one on my future DB.

I dunno. if a spoiler has risers then it will most likely be bulky. I understand its function and purpose but unless it's a 100% track car it's not necessary imo.

That's the only picture I've ever seen with that wing...was hoping other DB'ers would chime in with other pics or even find the owner. You know it's a replica because of the long LED light in the center.

Heh I want to track soooo bad so I don't mind the bulky wing. Shoot I'm sure my cousin would lend me his J's Racing wing if I wanted to try it for giggles.

Damn, that thing looks real good. And don't tempt certain people (me) with a trade. Owning an ITR is on my "bucket list"

Always been a big fan of the J's wing. You can always have your cousin lend it to me

That's a great looking base. Any future plans with it?

Hell yeah, I'm always down for a wing that is being functionally used.



You mean like this? It took me a solid 6 months of searching to find one clean enough. Had to settle for an auto at the time.
