Why did you get that, it is soooo ugly.

Not bad! I like the 3 piece wing that is on the Top Fuel cars. We all have our own likes and dislikes. Put it on and wear it proud if you like it. Thats all that matters! BTW- Can you get ahold of a Top Fuel Exhaust Manifold?? I am thinking of going pressurized and I have heard that the manifold is the only piece worth buying from Top Fuel and to piece together the rest myself? Opinions wanted. THANKS!

Wing wests are all look and no go...Aside from Mugen, Top Fuel wings are like the only wings out there that are actually funtional (produces downforce) and looks decent. besides, I have yet to see anyone with one here in Japan because they are so damn expensive ($600+)...luckily i got mine so dirt unbeleivably cheap.

I don't like 3 piece wings. It's your ride so don't listen to anyone but yourself. If you like it bro, congrats.

Did you consider the Mugen wing? I recently bought one off a friend for 300, which I thought was an awesome deal considering the WW 3-peice goes for that much.

Don't listen to them Mirai. I love the Top Fuel look and was saving up for some Top Fuel side skirts before I decided to sell the car. Now you just need the Top Fuel Turbo kit to go with it.

Agreed. You can't always be original or please everybody, but you can always be yourself. Do what you like.

And your car could look like this?

Let me know your track times at the road course w/ and w/o the wing. I'm interested in your new-found downforce mod.

Well, I was expectin mixed reaction....not expecting everyone to like what I have. But let me just add...

1. I've considered Mugen, but considering the price..it wasn't worth it. Plus its too practical (meaning I don't autoX or take my car to the track...yet) so I don't really need an adjustible wing.

2. Unlike the States the ITR and CTR are VERY common in Japan. As a matter of fact I read an article saying that 1/4 of all Civics on the road are CTRs and 1/3 of all Integras are Type R's...so my car doesn't look too spectacular to the many. But I have yet to see a Top Fuel spoiler on any of the cars in my area; Just 1 down in Mie 3 years ago. So at least I can look a little bit different.

3. Price was great!! Never been used...usually retails for like $600 and I got it for less than $200 from some poor soul who was unfortunate enough to have to part out his car.

4. Better than buyin som POS fiberglass fake on the net for the same price. I've learned some of these are so poorly made that they warp at high speeds and they actually create some degree of upforce!!! Lovely, how you like your tail to slide out from under you at 75mph??

5. Finally...I'm a rebel!! I don't give a FRA what people think (pos or neg)...just wanted to show off my new toy
