is the shark fin functional? if so you need to shave that other antenna.
i'll be honest. i am not feeling the wing to each his own. i personally like how RCT has his with the TRD carbon wing. what are you going to do about your front? you getting a lip or whole new bumper? --------------------  Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;) |

I like it more w/o the wing but either way it still looks very nice. The CF hatch looks good.

Forkee, I used two 10" by 2" metal plates (one for each leg) along with wider washers to reinforce the attachment of the wing to the hood. Thus, it's a very solid mount!

LOL, RCTCelica! You are right! I fell in love with the idea of the carbon fiber trunk for this car, which I had no idea that it existed for our make and model. Furthermore, it complements the look that I am trying to achieve!
Thanks! QUOTE(RCTCelica @ Sep 5, 2007 - 10:40 PM) [snapback]593782[/snapback] couldn't resist after seeing my car at Nightshift NY, looks good... Thanks, modd3d1!

No, the shark fin is not functional. It there to enhance the look of the car!. Some people like the trunk without the wing and others think its hot! Personally,I'm caught between both! I added the wing for two reasons:
1. The wing is carbon fiber and gives the car a more aggressive look (a.ka., nemesis) 2. I bought the wing and had it installed before I even knew about the carbon fiber hood for this car (Thanks to RCT for the idea). Thus, I felt the need to put it back on because it looked so good, at least, in my opinion, on my stock trunk! As for the front bumper, I already have the lip. I took it off temporarily because I had to get my car in and out of the shop and it was a problem getting it on and off the lift. I will put it back on when all my performance work is complete and I have a new paint job and after market wheels!

I previously intended on painting the roof in black! Sorry, RCT! You will soon have a brother from a different mother! LOL!
