View Full Version : Carbon Fiber Wing
nchyflyer 03-27-2005, 01:56 AM What do you think of this wing? I really like it. I think it'd look sick on a black tC.
Its by APR performance.

SamOnFire 03-27-2005, 02:21 AM Gorgeous. I'm VERY picky about wings too. I don't like most of them. This is sexy tho. Damn sexy. Looks like it'll make the car look longer from the side too.
nchyflyer 03-27-2005, 02:40 AM I also meant to say that it's the same wing itself on the tC, it just has the rounded off side accessories instead of the sharp ones like in the picture
tckurt 03-27-2005, 02:45 AM home much and does it come in other CF colors?
nchyflyer 03-27-2005, 03:12 AM its $650 and it doesnt come in other colors because it's pure carbon fiber
tckurt 03-27-2005, 03:34 AM oh its the real thing... got ya
VoLktc 03-27-2005, 03:40 AM look kinda like the the rotora wing minus a few inches
Max2k 03-27-2005, 05:09 AM Rice.
EnderSavesTheDay 03-27-2005, 05:17 AM hehe that looks like a remote control car... Scion rC :lol:
uchihatrunks 03-27-2005, 06:13 AM haha serious that is ricer status......but yea put that on a black scion, that'll be tite
TeamMightyMiniz 03-27-2005, 06:54 AM Love it.
LucidBD 03-27-2005, 06:45 PM let me say that if someone had that wing on their car..i wouldnt ever park next to it. barf!!!!
nchyflyer 03-27-2005, 08:50 PM man... i think the ppl on this forum just have no tolerance for anything that isn't stock. I mean, what is it you don't like about it? Carbon fiber? too big? what? You're "anti-rice" statements are just silly... if you don't like anything about modifying your tC, then why are you even in this section of the forum?
buckeye23 03-27-2005, 11:42 PM I'd need to see it on a tC in person to really guage how good it looks.
LucidBD 03-28-2005, 12:20 AM it looks like it should be on the back of a highspeed race boat. you can do what you want with whatever accessories. im putting in my 2cents Flyer. YOU asked for opinions and thats mine. im very tolerant. but not when people like you complain. im into moding my tc but not with that! im in this section of forum because people want opinions and i want to see whats out there. now buzz off!
RANT OFF!
and Flyer. when you reach over 200 posts then you can complain.
EnderSavesTheDay 03-28-2005, 01:39 AM Some people have too much pride :loser:
TeamMightyMiniz 03-28-2005, 01:49 AM to each their own
I think this style looks better than the pedastool garbage.
nchyflyer 03-28-2005, 02:03 AM and Flyer. when you reach over 200 posts then you can complain.
Since when did how many posts you have mean ANYTHING? That was just a stupid comment. God... you know what... forget it... that comment just shows what i'm talking about.
wyldkard 03-28-2005, 03:45 AM As soon as someone says "Rice" everyone jumps on the "Hate it" Wagon so everyone will think they're cool.
I personally like it, unlike a lot of other wings with the carbon fiber "look" or the ones that look like they're fabricated out of recycled beer cans, this one is 100% Carbon Fiber and looks nice. It's not on my top list of mods, however I will probably get it later on. Love it or hate it, who cares? I think it looks good and what does it matter if others think so too or disagree?

i completely agree..so much people do that, or the people that who'll start making comments like "haha, look at that sticker, gives 5hp haha" or other things like that... geez
utatc7218 03-28-2005, 03:20 PM not feeling it.. i like factory looking wings.. but im a simple kinda person.
jvizie 03-29-2005, 12:58 AM that obsidian wide body tc with tha spoiler i think it would look tyte!
xtremc5 03-29-2005, 02:04 AM doesn't matter what anyone else thinks except who ever pays the note! If you like it buy it. I like it, go for it.
ScottsdaleTC 03-29-2005, 03:12 AM I like it, this wing is likely to make it to the rear of my TC very shortly. I was able to spend 3 days at SEMA to review all the current kits and body accessories. The wing is low across the rear hatch compared to other wings ready for take off being sold on the market. In person the wing does not look out of place, it can and does make a nice addition to the TC. When I look at the TC it just seems natural that a factory lip, pedestal spoiler, wing or something would be nice there. To many others nothing at all, this is what makes the TC so appealing to all. If it works for you then go for it. 8)
ALTERNATE_IMEGE 03-29-2005, 03:34 AM not bad don't hate theres not to many options out there
JeniQ 03-29-2005, 12:47 PM Ditto on the rice
whyte_AZN 03-31-2005, 05:31 PM it's a nice wing, but dude do u know what wings are for? wings r for down force, a rear wheel drive car, if u put that on you'll probably be losing hp.
flintTC324 03-31-2005, 06:04 PM That is an APR Performance Wing. I have that same one on my 91 Integra. On the Integra it looks good, but there is another carbon wing I am running on my tC. It is supposed to be here any day and it fits the tC better, IMO. The APR stuff is really good though, I have known those guys for a long time. And just so you know dont pay anywhere near $650.00 for it. I get APR all day for cheap. That wing is the GTC-200 Drag Wing. They used the round ugly side plates on that H&R car. As far as down force, that only starts to apply at high speeds, like about 100mph. My Integra was just as fast after I put that wing on. Its not too high, and looks good with a carbon hood and hatch.
basilisk4 03-31-2005, 06:13 PM I think it looks like crap. I don't want to get jumped on for giving my opinion, though, so let me explain why it looks like crap in excruciating detail:
1. It doesn't match any part of the tC in color, not even a BSP tC.
2. It doesn't go along with the tC's body lines or contours at all.
3. It has unpainted silver screws on the side which don't match the rest of the spoiler itself.
4. It hangs off the back edge of the car.
5. It looks cheap, yet costs more money than a real spoiler.
6. It will make your car look like a mid-90s Civic.
P.S. "Color" must be an adjective, because I indirectly used it to describe something else.
zoltiz 03-31-2005, 06:19 PM I need to change career. Start making useless ugly parts for cars and make millions. All I need is a bunch of FnF'd teens with their parent's money. Perfect business model.
flintTC324 03-31-2005, 06:25 PM LOL, dont quit your day job. We sell a whole heap of ugly and useless parts in this industry, and we got more shops going out of business than ever! Back to the person who started this thread tho, get what you want. It's actually I nice quality wing and I used to get compliments on it all the time on my teg. But for the record I do agree it doesnt fit the tC as well. But if you like it, go for it!
wyldkard 03-31-2005, 06:39 PM Is crap an adjective?
:loser: Not again. :tap:

duston831 03-31-2005, 06:53 PM ..... wings r for down force, a rear wheel drive car,......
first part correct............ second part incorrect
TeamMightyMiniz 03-31-2005, 07:39 PM that RWD FWD Debate on downforce is getting a bit tiresome.
But Duston is correct.
But when you say "speeds over 100mph" that is half true. even at freeway speeds.
But if you run a FWD car with a Spoiler, a functional one... You should also add a front splitter. the splitter will equalize the front end pressure .
Increase the pressuse or lack of pressure... By adding a rear diffuser.
Even at freeway speeds you will feel the changes.

Amen to that. No I'm not jumping on any bandwagon here. I honostly can't stand vehicles with the big ___ wings and body kits with parts unnaturally jutting out all over the place. In my view, unless you drive a viper or GT or Vette or something else high powered like that there's no reason for a big wing, it WON'T do anything. Personally, I like it without anything on the back. But like I said, this is my opinion and we all have the right to feel the way we feel without jumping on any bandwagon or being "haters" or whatever you would call it.
JdMBboFSD 04-01-2005, 03:09 PM not my style....but whateva floats your boat....
