Wings are for ricers.

CF hatches are for even more ricers. end of discusion. I dont want to argue over opinionat least one common ground the ricer wing on my car and ricer hatch on your car do serve a perpose in performence of the machine.

so your saying that the stock 2g turbo wing is a ricer look. And that any wing for that matter. Wow thats a pretty retarded statement. So even a stock supra wing is ricey? I would rather have a WING anyday over a CF trunk. Why are you getting so defensive over this ayway. All we said was that to us we dont really like the look especially when the car is NOT black.

besides the fact that the cf hood looks good on a black car, it was going to be more expensive to get the holes patched correctly that the cf hatch cost me. I'm sorry but I don't believe a wing on the back of your car is going to do you much good for handling. Just my 2 cents, but wings are for show and not much more. Not saying they don't do anything at all, just saying that there purpose is much more for show than for any handling improvement.

well in the slolum the wingd Evos do around 10MPH better than wingless ones. beleive me im not sure how its possible but im not making it up. I agree a CF hood looks nice (on some car) im just not a CF rear kind of guy I guess, even though your car is black so it helps it not look too bad but on any other color its just awfull IMO

EMonz i would see what you mean if it was a civic or something. But the Elise is a very weight dependant car.. and a total carbon fiber body is totally compatable with the principle of the car. If you actually take a look at what one looks like they look pretty bad ***. I love it. Its expensive as ***** though. I think it will cost like 30k maybe more

yea but it is painted CF too which is fine to me. I would not hessitate to put a painted CF trunk on my car and go wingless that is cool with me. actually echostats car is not all that bad looking with that hatch cause his car is black but on a blue car or something it is just ugly. I saw a blue supra with a carbon hatch it just ruined the car IMO

I know most will disagree with me. but IMO unpainted CF other than an occaisonal hood just looks kinda dirty to me. The blue supra I was talking about was very very tacky looking.. if the car was black or MAYBEE grey or silver then it would be different
