^^i am mainly going for looks, but i don't want it to feel weird at high speeds because of a lot of rear downforce and no front downforce.

I'm sure it will look nice if you're into the "winged" look. On the street, the car won't feel weird. Just set the wing at 0 AOA.

Thats what I would do. If you're getting a good deal you can always resell it if you don't like the way the car behaves... good luck with everything. I'm sure it will turn out nicely.

IMO unless you have a wide body that wing might be a little too much, but again it's your ride.

yes by far my favorite part is how the picture he uses as reference is of a widebody s2000, so it is sure to look ridiculous on his car...

but to some people a deal is a deal, right?

i didn't use that pic as a reference. it's the only pic of the wing i could find. i'm not stupid--i realize that i do not have a widebody and the wing will be significantly wider than the car. that's why i'm still debating it and that's why this thread exists. thank you.

what is the best for front down force? carnards would be nice cause a splitter on a daily driven car is just asking to be smashed off? and anyone know any good ways to get rear downforce withought some big lame wing.
