I'd be all for this look if the car was on slicks or even r-compounds... but, street tires? and RE11s at that? the I think the wing would go well if the car it was attached to was a track whore or race car.

Just another classic example of street cars trying to emulate race car looks/designs.

Unless I am thinking of someone else, he does track the hell out of it. My only complaint is that he doesn't have enough front aero to balance it out. I could be wrong, but my guess is that it either oversteers like crazy at low speeds and is perfect at high speeds, or is good at low speeds, and pushes at high speeds. And honestly you really only need to be going 60-70 for the aero to start taking effect. Try holding a 12"x6" piece of wood out the window at a 45* angle doing 70mph and tell me that it doesn't make a difference.

If it's the same guy on youtube, then yeah he tracks his car. Love how hardcore the spoiler is, it reminds me of the AMS Evo IX(mounted behind the trunk for more downforce). I'm really wanting that lip again.

You guys do realize this is a voltex wing similar to what lots of other guys run with great success. Only thing special about it is the custom mounting. I don't know that the wing is any more effecting on this mount than it would be on a standard trunk mount. It's mounted to the chassis which is better but I don't know how much of a difference it really makes.

I honestly hated it the first time around but it's growing on me. Looks a little goofy from some rear angles but for going against the norm and doing it your way.

I really like it in this pic

Wing needs to go. Car is otherwise perfect.
