+2 I also like the wing in the context of the kit. And that is saying alot for me, cause I H.A.T.E. big wings on FWD cars, as do most people on this site. But I do like "Gargoyal"s custom yellow Kaminari tC w/ c/f hood.

but OP (and i apologize in advance for being blunt):
1) your spoiler is NOT neothins. it looks like a cheap ricy knockoff.

2. For the love of god, PLEASE TAKE THOSE DECALS AND STICKERS OFF YOUR CAR!!!! Why do you feel the need to advertise to the whole world how much you like your car?? Sorry, but that is really a display of a lack of good taste. Do you know that unless you are sponsored, you shouldn't have stickers on your car. CLEAN is the way to be. Do you think people look at your car and think: "wow, that is a cool car."? NO. they think: "wow, that guy is a dork." sorry, but its the truth.

Kids put stickers on stuff.
FIRST OF ALL. ..I AM SPONSORED..SO EVERY FREAKIN CAR THAT IS SPONSORED MUST LOOK LIKE CRAP TO YOU..MAYBE YOUR JUST JELOUS THAT YOU CANT GET FREE STUFF...I HAVE HAD MAGAZINE SHOOTS FOR MODIFIED WITH JOE_DEZOD SL MEMBER MOST PEOPLE KNOW HIM IN THE OCT ISSUE..SO I THINK THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN ALOT IN MY EYES...I HAVE 25 TROPHIES FROM EVERY CAR SHOW I HAVE ATTENDED WITH MY TC...MOST 2 PLACE AND 10 FIRST..HIN,NOPI,IMPORT WARS,STREET WARRIORZ..ETC..

YOU ARE DEFF GRANTED YOUR OPINION BUT BEFORE YOU START RUNNING YOUR MOUTH..NOT BEING RUDE..U SHOULD FIND OUT WUT THE PERSON HAS STICKERS AND CRAP FOR...NOT EVERYONE ONE WITH STICKERS IS SPONSOED BUT MAYBE THATS WUT THEY LIKE...BUT ENOUGH OF EXPLAINING MY SELF I LIKE THEM A MILLION PEOPLE LIKE THEM I GET FREE ____ SO IM NOT WORRIED ABOUT YOUR OPINION..!!!!DOES THIS LOOK RICEY TO YOU.. OH AND THE LEATHER WAS FREE THATS WUT U GET WHEN YOUR SPONSORED

it is higher right now in the pic because its not screwed in its just sitting on teh trunk..so when i do screw it down it will be 1" closer to the trunk....


but thanks for all the opinions...aleast MOST of you like it..you have to see it in person..it flows well with the car i will take a side pic so you can see..but i lik the wing and with teh good opinions i think i still might do it...

neothin...its not yours...its from my buddy 02 civic...we just tried it out one day laying it on teh car and i like d it then i saw you r car with it and fell i love with the look..it might sit alilttle higher but thats ok with me...but thansk again...

I was thinking of having it painted the color of the car..but.. we thought it might flow with the graphics brings them out better...if i do decide to take the graphics off then i will have it repainted its on $40 at my body shop...not a huge deal u know...

Maybe not, but you seem to think that your opinion is a universal fact:

So those who do have sponsorships and put vinyl on their cars to represent their sponsors are "kids?"

I'm not being naive, one person's idea of "rice" can vary radically from another's.

In my way of thinking, one person thinking a car is "ricey" doesn't make the car "rice" to everyone else, just the individual.
thank you...u took the words right out of my mouth..thanks for stainding behind me..

I'm all for the stealth look but this car actually looks good with the vinyls and badges on it. I like the silver with the black vinyl.....looks slick.

why does it bother you soooo much as to what other people do to their cars. yous shouldt waste your time commenting bad about someones elses care, post up a pic of your car or shut your a$$

"Why do you feel the need to advertise to the whole world how much you like your car?? "

because he freakn like his car dumbass, you didnt buy it for him did you? no you didnt.

"Sorry, but that is really a display of a lack of good taste"

a dispaly of a lack of good taste?? its his freakn tatse, not yours, like ive said b4, scion is about personalization. you chose what you do to your car, and he has chosen what he wants to do to his., just because you find his mods or whatnot distasteful, doent mean everyone as a whole does, im sure not everyone la dee freakn da loves your car.



insanetc, all i can say is,
