Oem Wings Vs. Aftermarket

[chase78]

Im think about putting a wing on my car. THE OEM LOOKIN NICE but are they really functional? There is the low profile, the bigger GSX one, and even bigger and taller one. If so at whats speeds range are they effective? The bonus i guess if i get a carbon fiber wing off ebay I dont need to paint it.

no there not function (much)
maybe at 140 they provide some down-force.

Not really functional for this class of car, but they sure look good. The 2G really looks great with a ton of different wing styles out there. The old supra-style spoilers were played out in the mid-90s, though.

WOW thats great to know. I know that downforce is important at the higher speeds. I've drive above 140 and the back on most cars feels like its bearly on the ground.


What about Front bumper fins (carbon fiber) on a FWD cars. I would think that they might help. Are they helpful at all? or do they have to be pretty big to be of any use? I know the ones that i have seen around are pretty small looking.

^^ if u have a 93' gsx, i would not recommend a spoiler on that at all. but u want to keep your ass end down, so i suppose u do need one.
