View Full Version : TC WING TRIAL!!
scionman05 02-20-2005, 05:03 PM So I was messing around one day and decided to take the wing off my grand am and set it on my TC to see what it would look like.. And I personally think it looks pretty aggressive on there.. Would just need to be accomodated wit a NICE kit..

TurboMe 02-20-2005, 05:06 PM linking is wrong
scionman05 02-20-2005, 05:21 PM Yea I dont know what Im doing.. I tried to upload it in my gallery but its too big of a file or sumthin.. Im not real smart wit this kinda stuff.. My buddy is doing some photobucket thing and gonna give me a link to post up in here
Just a reminder.. The wing is not mounted just set on there.. Needs some molding to fit.

scionman05 02-20-2005, 05:26 PM there is all the pics I took.. My buddy is going to try to photochop a bumoper for me and mold the wing to get a better idea.. But here it is for now.. Tell me what you think.
CMoney 02-20-2005, 05:29 PM Functional? No.
Rice? Yes.
PandaIst 02-20-2005, 05:35 PM ehhh...it doesn't flow with the lines of the car. Personally i don't like it. If you really like it, then go rock that wing on your tC.
aarontrini85 02-20-2005, 05:36 PM ummm if you like it a guess go with it but it not my style the tc looks better with lip spoilers
scionman05 02-20-2005, 05:37 PM I think the wing flows decent wit the body lines.. The side of the wing flares no an angle which matches the angle of the quarter pretty well.. Thats my opinion. Im still debating it. Just try in tog et some ppl's thoughts. I shoulda attached a poll to this.. D@mm
jrv2000 02-20-2005, 06:23 PM TAKE IT OFF
aarontrini85 02-20-2005, 06:32 PM ^ well theres a honest opinion
TurboMe 02-20-2005, 07:14 PM TAKE IT OFF x2 :rofl:
Even if it was functional, it takes days for the tC to get at the speed when it is functional. :P
lvnurs9 02-20-2005, 07:42 PM x3 :rofl:
koasterking 02-20-2005, 07:49 PM The wing doesn't even fit entirely on the back of the car! :no:

mfbenson 02-20-2005, 08:40 PM Dude that is the coolest ____ ever!! Where can I get one? :loser:
Umm, no.
Rice times 6. Or infinity...

Audicted 02-20-2005, 09:27 PM I think I"m gonna build one out of spare IKEA furniture.
NOT!
No, seriously, don't rice that car up like that. I went to the car show yesterday and by far, the carbon-fibre trunk with integrated lip spoiler's the cleanest and best looking spoiler I've seen for the car`
BlkSandPrlTurbotC 02-20-2005, 09:37 PM Hey a honda civic owner in your area called me
he wants his spoiler back
TAKE IT OFF
If you say it flows with the lines of the car... WHICH IT DOESNT
Why in the hell does the base hang over the hatch!
:nope: :nope: :nope: :nope: :nope:

aarontrini85 02-21-2005, 12:36 AM if this thing sprouted legs it ould look very close to this but it doesnt have legs so it looks nice maybe you can trim the legs off and make your self a decent lip spoiler with a little bit of fiberglassing skillhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/bluexbox/web_7.jpg
Darkness 02-21-2005, 01:07 AM The base hanging off the side makes it look really tacky.
The wing itself is not too bad...but not with our car.
Take it off.
jrv2000 02-21-2005, 03:16 AM and the votes are in ladies and gentelmen....................and the winner is......................
Take that piece of sh*t off of the car!!!!!!
Congratulations!
nchyflyer 02-21-2005, 11:22 AM sorry you wasted your money buddy.... everyone is a little mean, but you really do need to test out another spoiler.
SCI_TC_GUY 02-21-2005, 11:26 AM yuk...........

:)
scionman05 02-21-2005, 05:15 PM Well if some ppl have actually read the thread. You would know that it needs some work to fit. And Its not for Honda.. It was the wing that came off my grand am that was custom made for the grand am. I have another wing around the house from my grand am that you guys may like better.. Ill try to get some pics of that after the snow is gone now..
scionman05 02-21-2005, 05:26 PM I just dont like lip spoilers cuz there is no design in it. It sit flat on the trunk. Why have anything at all. I want sumthin your gonna see when im driving down the road. The pedestool spoiler that tctunerz has is ok but seems a little to low for my likings. I saw it in person. Looks good but small.
I dont want it for purpose. i dont drive a nascar. I want it for looks. stand out. A lip spoiler just dont stand out imo
Ppl say honda and rice and blah blah.. But scion/toyota is the same thing.
jrv2000 02-21-2005, 05:37 PM I dont want it for purpose. i dont drive a nascar. I want it for looks. stand out. A lip spoiler just dont stand out imo

Honda's are not automatically RICE, same as scion/toyota. RICE is when you add a huge wing onto any car on which it has no function. If you were to add one one say a ferrari, or a porsche, that would be a whole different story. RICE has to do with the whole "all show no go " thing. Same deal goes with carbon fibre overlays....etc.
If you really want a huge wing on your car thats serves no purpose other than drawing attention to yourself, go right on ahead. But dont be suprised if you get the type of attention you dont want, such as ending up on www.laughatrice.com
ALTERNATE_IMEGE 02-21-2005, 05:53 PM its ok
Kev_the_rev 02-22-2005, 12:50 AM i just threw up a lil bit in my mouth...
smash 02-22-2005, 01:54 AM i just threw up a lil bit in my mouth...
LOL PS that's an even scarier thought.. that wing on a Trans AM. And having actually PAID someone to CUSTOM fabricate that for you.
Ah well.. guess it all just depends on personal preference. If it rocks your world- good for you man! I'm definitely goin to have to give a big thumbs down on this one though.
Mediocre_Generica 02-22-2005, 02:27 AM Screw those with good taste! Keep it! Don't even paint it, it looks great the way it is.
[/sarcasm]
jrv2000 02-22-2005, 05:08 AM ^^^^^love the squared
Matt687 02-22-2005, 06:01 AM Not to be an ___ and ____ on your ideas like everyone else seems to enjoy doing to others with ideas, the wing is a nice idea for gained appearance value, but your design (in my opinion) would be better fit for a Cadillac CTS-V with its edgey and pointy angles, the Tc has a smoother shape, so try and follow that, but seriously try photoshopping that thing onto a CTS or CTS-V, looks like it might look awesome on it. Keep at it, designing stuff is a _____, i design motorcycles and its not easy.
Fixtion 02-22-2005, 06:20 AM Well . . . what can I say . . . You must have a Taste for Rice...Steamed white jasmine rice :lalala:
Somnambulated 02-22-2005, 08:04 AM It looks like a touring wing, and it actually looks good on the car.
Only problem is, it's a little too rounded around the edges for the rest of the tC.
If you could set up something more similar to the lip, but with a pedestal, it would look really nice.
I wonder if they'll be selling inserts (raising pieces) for the new wing...
LucidBD 02-22-2005, 01:56 PM Take it off X...what # are we on...20?
wow :doh:
it would be awsome if you are trying to fly passengers out of the country...sure you would get great lift
tCholleration 02-22-2005, 05:18 PM x9 :rofl:
what the heck were you thinking?
niguels 02-22-2005, 05:42 PM Put couple of rockets in the trunk, and surely your car will take off and fly.
franktherank 02-24-2005, 12:23 AM thats a horrible wing BUT!!!, in all seriousness could be a good one if you do some cutting....cut both legs off and just put that on the back, i think that would look way better...u know what i mean?
Simez2003 02-24-2005, 01:11 AM ewwww
falling_animals 02-24-2005, 01:13 AM x10 :rofl:
bambams247 02-24-2005, 02:41 AM ATA called, they want their spoiler back.....
scionman05 02-24-2005, 03:14 AM I guess it seems to be a personal preference.
I dont like the lip spoilers.. you dont like a high rise spoiler. If I was good at photochopping I would do it to show you what it would actually look like on the car when its done.
IT NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON TO FIT. THE EDGES WONT STICK OVER THE END IF YOU CAN READ. " I just set it on there and took some pics"
IT WAS FOR MY GRAND AM.. "which I am selling" part of the body kit. I have pics of a really nice grand am wit the full kit
Didnt know ppl were so harsh bout ppl customizing their own rides to personal preference.. Some rude comments but Ill live.
If I can get it photochopped on there.. ill post them pics.. ill see what I can do. May help you guys out some.
vikvaughn 02-24-2005, 03:16 AM Doesn't work w/ the car....lose it

3_IGs 02-24-2005, 06:50 PM I think it looks good............tucked away in a closet somewhere.

TJCCARDCO 02-24-2005, 09:51 PM Nasty Spoiler....and its in Jersey..If I see it ill be sure to cut it off.
niguels 02-24-2005, 11:33 PM By the way, what is that spoiler for?
What is its function?
indianenvasion 02-25-2005, 01:06 AM Nasty Spoiler....and its in Jersey..If I see it ill be sure to cut it off.

bambams247 02-25-2005, 02:41 PM By the way, what is that spoiler for?

Lift Off?
indianenvasion 02-25-2005, 03:14 PM hey guys im kinda feelin bad for this guy... 3 pages of flame! what shall we do...
UnFocused 02-25-2005, 03:33 PM hideous!!! you paid money for that?

Lift Off?
tshhh.....Ok delta niner, you've been cleared for take off,.....tshhhh.... have a safe flight.
Darksun 02-26-2005, 06:45 AM Is that the part of the transformer that turns into legs?
TJCCARDCO 02-26-2005, 06:50 AM It's someone who shouldn't own a tC...this is why I hate living in New Jersey, too many special people
(I cant curse anymore, the adminstrator threatened me via email. Curses hurt his feelings)
scionman05 03-02-2005, 07:46 PM Just cuz everybody has different taste dont mean you should talk crap about the person themselves..
IF YOU READ THE THREAD.. YOU WOULD KNOW I JUST WANTED OPINIONS. IT WAS LAYIN AROUND THE HOUSE.
ITS NOT BOLTED TO THE CAR.. IT WAS SET ON THERE AND SNAPPED A FEW PICS.
Just wanted some opinions on what ppl think. Its not even on the car right now. So ppl need to stop talkin crap. Cuz I asked for everyone opinion I shouldnt own a TC.. You need to grow the eff up. And if you live in jersey you would know about all the half A$$ed Honda and Acuras rollinaround on 14 steelie's and multicolored cars wit no interior. Compared to my slighty modded tc. That still has stock appereance.
Lighten up on the remarks ppl.. it a waste of my time to look at half this thread. I thought this was a community to go for information. Seems to be a community to go to if you wanna hear a bunch of crap for advice and opinions

Ok, you asked for our opinion about the wing and we gave it to you, i think i can pretty much speak for the entire scion life community when i say that we all DO NOT like the wing at all. You wanted info out of this thread, and you got it. The wing looks horrible, no matter what you do, it wont look good on this car. Please do not put this wing on your car.
bambams247 03-02-2005, 11:44 PM no wing on car
opinion stated
pmpnxb 03-02-2005, 11:50 PM not my cup o' tea...
Sean05tC 03-03-2005, 02:15 AM Whatever you choose to do to YOUR car is great. That's what makes this country great. Don't listen to these ____ant's "opinions" and just listen to yourself. A lot of these ppl wish they had your tC anyway, so your one step beyond.
Kudos on the BSP, awesome color, wish they had it in stock before I chose my IIP.
Keep on rockin' :clap:

what are you talking about? First of all the majority of the people who responded to this post own tc's already, were not jealous of his tc, we all have one of our own. Second of all, he ASKED for our opinions, and we gave them.
dmikon 03-03-2005, 05:14 PM Now all you need to do is cut your springs for a nice 2" drop, and out one of these on: http://widget.ecn.purdue.edu/~sae/Formula/Pictures/1999%20Manufacturing/muffler%20supertrapp.JPG . I would also put a "GT-R" emblem on next to the tC.

You ask for people's opinions and when you get them you complain? Sounds you're the one that need to grow up dude.
aarontrini85 03-03-2005, 05:20 PM maybe some one should lock this i think he got the point that no one likes it. its just truning in to a big argument now
bambams247 03-04-2005, 12:16 AM LOCK IT UP!
Mr_Superman 03-04-2005, 12:53 AM x11
scionman05 03-04-2005, 12:57 AM No Im tryin to just argue. There a few ppl on here seem to be hinting to say bad things about me. Your opinions are your opinions. Im not sayin anything bad about everyones opinions. But when ppl start saying like totally off topic remarks. That just doesnt help.
