People are hilarious. If that wing didnt have MUGEN stamped on it they'd be like WTF is that aluminum rice!

I personally dont like it at all. Wing is ugly and they destroyed the perfect interior of the RSX (if they have serious aftermarket engine mods to show worthiness of lightweight seats and steering wheel fine)

And lastly.. Aftermarket badging, no thanks.

There isnt enough money on the face of the earth to make me race with those ********. But whats your point?

If you are saying that the wing doesnt do anything, I have a lot of people that can back it up. The whole rear of the car feels more planted going into a corner and feels a bit more stable at higher speeds. Track results for me have wingless as the worst way and least stable rear end. The stock ITR wing works well and the Mugen wing works best.

If you havent driven the car with one, you are not in a position to say that its useless...

Because it looks good. Mugen does not.

A Thats objective. I think the Mugen wing looks much better since it has a factory race look to it.
B I bought mine because its functional in a track situation. Not because I like the way it looks. Thats secondary to me. If you want to bling, then bling, but dont go calling other peoples hard work ugly when you put an ITR wing on your car because it looks good. Judging by the tires and set up, he races that car and that wing does a job. Functionality is rarley pretty.

I second that

Bdiddy.......it's a very fair statement

You're 100% right. Kenneth (my friend) race his RSX-S a lot.
And FYI......Ken drove a DC2R for 4 years before buying this DC5 this year.....and he got a MUGEN wing on his DC2R also

see below....
