get what you like. It's your car. If we all liked the same thing it would be a dull world. I say go for it if you like it

 

Is the GS/GS-R or ITR rear wing actually functional though?

 

I've read a few articles that said the huge, unsightly ITR wing does provide down force at higher speeds.

 

Well, the ITR rear wing provides *minimal* stability at high speeds. I think I was trying to make a distinction between modifications related to personal preferences in appearance, versus a phony sticker aimed at gaining "street cred", if there's such a thing.

The bottom line is that modifying your car is a hobby, and you should enjoy it. Forget about the whole import "scene"; your money is best spent on what you like and enjoy. We poke fun at kids who sport APC "performance parts" and clear tails, but I'm sure there's a sizable portion of the human population out there that thinks we're nuts for dumping our money into a front-wheel-drive 4-cylinder car.

Shingo

 

i see what you're sayin. i myself was against wings in general. i like my car w/out one. lately i have been looking at pics of others car with the type r wing, and i plan to put it on my 97 ls
