View Full Version : Yay or Nay on the wing?

What do you think about this FEED Type2 wing? I'm kinda on the fence.
-On one hand, there's no denying a little rice factor going on there.
-On the other, it's a carbon fiber adjustable wing that's been proven to work on the track, which I plan on visiting a lot this summer. Plus, it's about the same size and height of the stock wing.
If I do decide on this thing, I'd have the side mount parts painted Montego Blue, to match the rest of the car.

No ricer factor at all...it's very stealth...looks almost identical to stock...
I'd say go for it....or at least get the an OEM version on there....definitely takes the FD from Sexy to SEXAY!!!...

I like it. I really dont think its ricey at all, plus it functional.

It is one of the better wings I have seen. A lot better than say, a Shogun style wing...

As an engineer, function over form guy, I say go for it. It is subtle and not ricey at all IMHO. As an added plus, having an RE-Amemiya part on your car will give you at least 30 mph down the straights!

Looks pretty good. Doesnt look much different from the stock spoiler, and if it IS track proven, then that takes away from the rice factor.

Yay.... I like it... I don't care what you do... Its a freakin RX7... Bad A$$ no matter what

Is it track proven to be better than some of the beautiful stock spoilers I've seen?
Maybe a spirit R spoiler.. or whatever that one is that has 4 support posts and looks pretty?
If this one is functionally better, go for it. It isn't like it looks bad, it just looks less smooth than anything stock.
nay.
get the stock spoiler, and put some money into a re carbon fiber diffuser. now those are hawt!

Yay. If you plan on track time, a functional rear wind is a good idea and no, i don't think it looks rice at all.

I was going to say yay until I saw it on your car. I think it looks better than I expected. The YAY is now in caps.

Calculates distance to Natey's house, and how to make off with his FD...
Looks wonderful man. I too am jealous of you going to Laguna, I would love to drive the Corkscrew some day.

Thanks you guys. It's actually growing on me. lol, don't tell my wifey, but now I'm thinking about a set of FEED side skirts to go with it.

can't say I'm a fan of that front lip (too squared) but the skirts look nice. .. just might look a little out of place?
pro5x2
05-22-2008, 09:15 AM
^agreed with both above. front lip doesn't flow right. Diggin the skirts though!
Riken
05-22-2008, 11:24 AM
Skirts FTW get them. How much?

Wing looks fantastic on the car. Like the others I am not a fan of the front lip either but like the skirts.
