while it looks stupid...i would take it on my car if I was constantly doing 80+mph in turns and 120+ on straights....


Lots of people think if there is a wing in the back of a ff drivetrain car is pointless. That is false. Yes you do need to compensate with downforce in the front aswell, but rear wings are NOT just for MR/RR/FR drivetrain cars.

umm, def tru, and i def knew that, but herez my reasoning: find me a "TURN" in sofla that u can take at 80 hehe (no curves allowed) and as much as id like to sit at 120 all day FHP doesnt want me to.:winkm:

so for everyday purposes, i say EWWIE (functional or not its ugly)

i don't really like anything other than factory wings. the speeds the EP is capable of, we'll never see any use for downforce, literally. Thats why Porsches, Ferrari's, etc all have built in ones cause they're meant for the autobahn.

Wings like that are just discusting. You can all call me a ricer for my EK, BUT i don't have a wing and i dont think my car is fast by ANY means!! :)

sorry, but i would put something like that on my ep... if i was racing my car professionally... but its a daily driver, which means i actually drive my car from point a to point b, and the only time i'll ever put that thing to use is in the mountains, when i do go up there, if im actually pushing my car's limits (which i dont do as often anymore) and honestly, IMO, any street car rollin with anything like that is just gay.

I'd sport it . . . . :eek:



















And then I'd drive the car off a cliff so no one could ever be blinded by the stupidity of that horrid piece of crap.:rolleyes:

heh, thing is, we wouldnt even be able to do THAT, wed have to drill into aftermarket wings (CTR or the like)

i wouldnt do it... if i had to go that route id just sell my ep and get a 240...
