Any 3geez w/aluminum wing

[meangreenLXi]

Thinking of adding one, but not sure if it's gonna look good. I know the downward force is gonna be sweet, but does anyone have any pics so I can see how it will look? I want to try to balance speed and style :stick:

downward force :lol This guy is the new nate for comedy :D

On a serious note: Rear wings or spoilers are useless on FWD cars!!! It's not going to do anything for performance for the car. The only way it would is if you were going faster than the car can go. And that would like only help with suspension and handling. So the only reason for spoilers is for looks and please do yourself a favor and not get a Huge wing. B/c you will realize like we do that the 20ft wings are pretty :gay:

[meangreenLXi]

Between Syracuse and Buffalo, thanx for the info. I'm a newbie, I thought I could get some downward force from the thing. I just wnt to be able to beat the next guy to the spot trying to make it through traffic.

Damm your facking far..I am in the city..

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I know what you mean when I first starting modding I wanted to get a big wing and then someone set me straight like I did and I realized that they really aren't gonna do anything other than looks. Do a search for some performance mods. Bigger injectors and what not would help.

[meangreenLXi]

Hey thanx guys, I think the big ones are :gay: but I have seen some that are close to the car and not very wide :super: only reason why i considered, I was thinking that about the injectors as well, but didn't know if i would have to get a new fuel pump w/that as well? I'm new to modding :stick: , all criticism or help is appreciated.

I think you misunderstood me dude. B/c I wasn't flaming anyone. And you can ask him, I don't think that he feels that I was yelling at him or anything. And there isn't a big difference if you have a big wing on (on a FWD car).

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I found this really nice smaller wing (wing was CF and the sides were alluminum. I'll get a pic b/c it looks really cool.

[Mike89Accordcom]

Aluminum wings suck. You get one prepared to get made fun of and laughed at!!!

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

yup..... be prepared to be laughed at......... and obviously you don't know anything about wings but hey im just saying what i think... your car your choice........ but seriously..... downward force? ummmmmm the only downward force youll get is faster than what the 3 gee registers at lol

A wing works well with any fast car.. Be it FWD or RWD.. It's not really needed for our cars since they are pretty slow.. But for a fast car it helps keep the rear firm on the road..

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well I did say that the only thing it would serve a purpose for is handling. I think I said what I needed to say but damn some of those people need to state their opinions other ways. B/c when your opinion insults someones way of thinking then it's no longer an opinion.

[Mike89Accordcom]

Yeah but critisism can be positive in another way!

[i.c.]

do whatever you want, don't let other people tell you you can't..

[adams86lxi]

yea, i would just keep the money for the wing and put it to something like a engine mod or something!:)

[HondaBoy]

hey if u do wanna wing, dont go wastin money on a big ass aluminium one. the only down force ur gonna get is the weight of it. now if u wanna put a small wing or spoiler, ive seen em that look good. keep it real low. not more than like 4-5 inches high. a smooth touring wing thats kinda short will look good. what i did was went to the junkyard and bought a accessory honda wing. its like a stock style one that u could order from the dealership. i still need to get it painted and installed. well i dont have ne pix but look on Cardomain.com if u wanna see some examples. or better yet look here on 3geez through the old pix.

[original2k]

definately try to stay as close to OE that u can as far as spoilers are concerned, a lot of those guys don't even realize how ridiculous their car looks with those freakin bi-plane propellers on their cars, like there's a neon where i live one of the new one's like 2000, he's got like a 12in+ wing on his just like that and he looks like a jackass riding down the road, in the words of takumi "does he wanna take off and fly or something?" :lol, but sorta off topic, i love it when the teg guys flip their acura badge upside down, not only does it signify the vtec that doesn't exist, but it also adds DOWNFORCE!!!! Ronch u should do that with your car :D

Nawwwwwww! :lol no badges on my car hehehe

[Justin86]

Yea man get a nice spoiler with LED's.

[Neuspeed007]

if ur car needs a wing then get it, but dont get one for looks cause these cars like everybody is pointing out are slow and useless and u will have no need for a wing. Yes you will get laughed at if you get one, be smart and get one if u need it, im not tryin to bring u down, but im just trying to save u some money

[meangreenLXi]

Money is scarce:( and i'm gonna look into getting bigger injectors. Thanx for the info guys...

[HondaBoy]

i always thought that the Acura "A" emblem upside down looked like a funny lookin Honda "H". anyone else thought this before?

[Morpheus]

IF ur pulling past 100mph a smaller aluminum wing might look allright and be functional at the same time.

[B16 ED9]

ok, aluminum wings wont have any affect on downforce especially on our cars. i believe that the speeds that you need to reach in order for the wing to work right is around 140 or somethin like that. i have a wing on my car, its just for looks. and the only people that are going to be laughing at you are the people on the internet. they have a nack for doin that.

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

why would you want a wing? I was going to get a double stack terminator 2 but I put it on my car before I bought it and it just looked so f ing stupid. I don't see the point of it for a front wheel drive car

[i.c.]

love the stance on your car pimp88accord.....i'm thinking of getting a skyline style, just for looks, since i want to get a drift body kit it'd look weird without something to tie it off, so if it looks right on your car ok, but if it looks like crap on there then don't do it...

WRONG! wings are for downforce, wich everybody knows that if you have alot of torqhe and u WANT to win the race a wing holds you down, it can even better cornering. It depends on what wing you get that gives u better downforce, always researce before u buy thatd for sure.
and no the only people who will be laughing at you are car enthusiasts. By that i mean, people who know cars. IMO an alluminum wing is not good for looks.

[Neuspeed007]

true

[B16 ED9]

ok, on that last accord posted, that wing needs to be set back a little further on the trunk, it too far foward.

and i know these wings are for downforce, but what i was pretty much saying, was that we wont get fast enough in our cars for them to work like you're saying.

plus, there are very few companies that actually make aerodynamically correct wings, and they usually cost like 10 times more than the conventional one you pickup off ebay or somethin



oh, and its not very smart to argue about aluminum wings with somebody who has one:flip:

[Morbid Intentionz]

I got a wing on my lxi. Its a grand touring wing. I can get some pictures but would someone post for me?

hey what kind of rims are those? very nice

[A Dawg Jr]

I've got a small wing, I know it's pointless, but it kinda dress' up the car.

[crwa]

its wings like that that make me glad I didn't get one, I mean come on, do you really need one that high??? And that ugly??? I do like the the rims thought, maybe it wouldn't look as bad if it was lowered like two inches...

[meangreenLXi]

Yeah I think it's a little high, but it looks sweet :super:, man come on, 3/4 the height it is now, I think is hot!!!

[crwa]

I think its still to much, but why arn't there front blinkers???

i was thinking the same thing.. good taste

[Osiris]

Im with the rest of the guyz. Your better off either puttin money into more useful performance mods or just overall maintence of the vehicle. I think aluminum wings look better on newer cars if any at all. If i were to get one tho it would be somethin short and sweet. No freakin big ass wing that looks like wings off a glider.:eek:

If you feel that you must have one tho check this one~> http://www.whalentire.com/accessorydetail.cfm?accnum=AMWU923

[i.c.]

that actually looks pretty good.....

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Why get an alluminum wing when you can get a CF wing :D

[meangreenLXi]

I think, I'm gonna hold back from the wing and check out what 1988starter can help me do to my ride, seeing as though we live in the same climate and cars should act somewhat similar...After he helps me get the hp's up to 140 :pimp: then I will start thinkin bout a wing :super:......

[meangreenLXi]

Thanx for all the feedback and if you got a wing, post a pic, I've seen some nice ones here, but if you have more by all means post them. So far all that i've seen have rocked!

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Sounds like you know what you want now. That's good. All this talk about getting wings is making me think about getting one. Does anyone seriously know what wings will help the handling? I would like a low to mid profile size wing.

[crwa]

None of thw ings will do anything for handling unless your going over 120... Under that speed there just for looks, plus its front wheel drive, a rear wing would creat down force on the rear which would lift the front anyway... just do what I did and get a custom front splitter thats adjustable so its functional and actually makes a difference on a front wheel drive car...

[Mike's89AccordLX]

What's a front splitter? I'm sorry but I've never heard of that before. Do you have pics of it so I can understand it better?

[crwa]

Look in the pictures section, its under crwa's car or something like that... There not the best pictures, I'll try to get better ones later plus some of the new stuff I've added...

[Mike's89AccordLX]

I remember you have that CF chin spoiler. Yeah those would serve a purpose. I would like to make one of those out of fiberglass b/c I've seen how much those go for on ebay and don't want to spend that much money for something I will end up modifing anyways. The only problem is I don't know where to get the hardware. I think I could be able to make a lip like that if I had the dimensions of yours. Is there only those 2 supports or is there some that I can't see? Any idea where I can get those adjustable supports?

[crwa]

You can probably get the stabloizers at an import shop, but they are $50 for the pair. Those support the extended part of the lip, then it is connected under the front bumper al along its lenght or it runs all the way back to just below the core support... Its a spend project, but the carbon fiber is quality, its actually from a larger piece from fiber images...

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Damn $50 for the pair. How does it attach to the bottom of the bumper? So what else is holding that on there other than the stabloizers? If you could possibly get some close ups of the stabolizers on the lip from underneath or just tell me if the lip has 2 holes drilled into it and the stabolizers bolt onto the other side. I'm really interested in making a fiberglass version of your lip. So any help would be helpful.

[crwa]

two holes have been drilled and the stabolizers bolt in, and they bolt into the front bumper as well... and no you can't copy my lip... seriuosly it's mine and I don't want it copied...

ok if yur puttin downward force on the rear tires, yur lifting the front up (less traction) and yur weighing the back down, use yur fucking head before u argue with someone

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Ok I won't copy it. I just need a generic design from you on how it bolts on to the bumper. I have a wicked design in mind and hopefully it's cool enough so I don't need to buy a bodykit. Ok I understand on how the stabolizers are on there now. (where do they attach onto the bumper though?) Is the back of the lip just bolted onto the bumper as well? About how thick is the lip so I can figure out what a good thickness would be. What I have in mind is getting some alluminum or tin and moulde it the way I want and cut it. Then I would wrap it in fiberglass until desired, then I would drill all the neccessary holes.

whered u get the rotors?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Those are most likely the Brembo rotors from www.nopi.com They look like drilled and slotted. I think those are about $150.
My EBC Sport Brakes were also $150. Mine are from www.tirerack.com

[crwa]

Its that simple its just bolted on, but I'm not gonna tell you everything, that would make it to easy on you... as far as the stabolizers go, they bolt throught the bumper at the top of the opening, but you can do it however you want to... its probably an 1/8 of an inch thick, maybe a little more, its the exact same thing you see on show cars or on some of the cars in magazines cause thats where i got the idea for mine, I basically copied one from an eclipse that was in Import Tuner a few months ago, but I'm the only street car with one as far as I've seen, and I've only seen one other one and it was on a 00 rhd civic at Import motion a few months ago...

[crwa]

OSS has the aem big brake upgrade, try $400...

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well hopefully I will have the 2nd one on a 3G. I'm probably going to photoshop it to get responses first to see if others like it.

[crwa]

As long as its not carbon fiber I don't care...

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well I suppose I could learn to work with carbon fiber :lol j/k
It'll be of fiber glass with CF vinyl hahahah!!!! No I will most likely paint it black or the color of the car. Best thing to do is to use black primer and if it doesn't look good in black spary it to match the car. Hopefully if it turns out like I want it to (it might have little wing type things on the side) The best way to describe them is those bumper wings that bring air to the brakes or whatever those are. But it will be all one piece. But it's just an idea so don't kill me ;)

[crwa]

I thought about puttin those wing things on, and I held them up on it, but they just looked like I was tryin to hard, and they are cheap anyway, but if you want too do them then go for it, but I recommend holding some up first because I don't think you'll like them, There just dumb, but look at it this way, if you see a show car with them then go for it, but if none of them have them, then there dumb... plus think about it, your brakes are behind the rims, so how are wings gonna shout air back there??? they shout air out not in, besides there not gonna cool the brakes at all, there just for show, and when your drivin the spinning rims arn't gonna allow air thru to the brakes anyway and they sure won't move air when your stopped...

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well I wasn't going to use those actual wing things but I was going to have the lip kinda go across the whole bumper and kinda wrap the ends up so the go up the sides a little bit (3" to 5") But if I don't like on photo shop I will just do a normal chin spoiler like you have but different.
