    the wing shape itself isn't so bad, it's those 4ft-long legs that kill me... why the hell does anyone want a spoiler deck above the roof of the car?!

    It is my understanding that the wing must be of a minimum size and certain height above the tail end to maintain as close to a nonturbulent airflow as possible to maximize the down force attained........Geeze Louise...I hated fluids...what the hell was that?

    i highly doubt fluid dynamics was taken into account when designing rice wings.

    Actually if you took the legs completely off and flush-mounted it by the side pieces, then painted it... then it MIGHT look kind of cool and not ricey as all hell. Kind of like Juan's wing.

    Still all I gotta say is NOPI grand touring $120 and it doesn't matter if you can convert a rice wing into something that isn't :gay: as shit...

    i like em my self, thats why i got 1......i really dont give a fuck what you have to say about it to. i think its funny how you all say things are "rice" and you all are into imports, it sounds like some thing one of those dumb buttstang driving red necks would say about all of for owning a honda. it was a damn good deal so i thought i would let every 1 know about it. besides i did not get it for looks i got it so when i decide to take a 15mph turn at 60 my car hugs and stays in its lane, they really do help with air flow.

    At 60mph, your wing is not generating enough downforce to do much, i don't think.

    first, imports have nothing to do with rice. there's domestic rice as well as import rice. second, we dont care what you do either, we just gave our opinions

    i think that rice is a plant that is also a common food. as far as i know, rice and cars are 2 unrelated subjects.

    he was jsut reffering to wings in general. at least that's how i took it. but our cars are made of steel. aluminum is better than steel in that it doesn't rust and it is lighter, but no offense, what are you getting at.

    yeah i hate to say it i'm with experimental. i mean rice isnt' about buying big wings. it's the whole package of doing only external mods and not even considering mechanical mods. the showy-ness with out the balls to back it up. experimental doesn't seem to be the rice-boy tho. he's talking about downforce and speedy turns. so i'm with ya bro. i've considered getting a wing there. i have to admit the price is right. i probably won't tho but send us pics of your install.

    i can't stand those understated touring wings. you pay $600 for them and ppl still think it's some stock option... so go with makes ya happy. don't worry about what some ppl say.

    Having a wing such as that for downforce is pointless in a front-wheel drive vehicle.
