Re: (instrument)

Black trim all the way around, sorry for the lack of a full car picture.

I set it on to get a feel of what it would look like out of my rear view mirrior, and stepped back, and thought it kinda looked good with my black skirts / lips / and interior.

But yeah, probably go with silver, just wanted to post so I'd get flamed and keep me from doin' somethin' stupid.

F the flamers!

Do what you want. Why care about what the flamers think?

Personally, I think wings are ghey on FWD cars.

BUT - I would blend it in with the color of your car.

And we inevitably return to the misinformation floating around about spoilers/wings and their functionality....

If designed and positioned properly, such items can certainly be effective, regardless of what wheels are being driven. As an example the ITR's wing serves to reduce lift, and it does so at speeds well below 200 mph.

I'd go with what ever's more rare/unique. I heard black is hard to keep clean and it is. Hand/water spots show up really bad on it.

I voted silver, but I really think you should just take it off.

Yeah its being painted silver as we speak

Anyone have a mounting guide for it? Not sure how far back to set it, and I don't have a template. Me = Fail.
