opinions on spoiler?

[blcknspo0ln]

this wing OWNS all.. well, on either a black/red/white car.. not the fugly green

 

[Seattle GST]

wow, my spoiler doesnt OWN like that one OWNES. . I better get a 401k going for mine so it can OWN some ass cream.

good point though, we need long term investments for our body kits. . . they need to OWN like this model citizen has done with his stolen image. . . :thumbdown

I hope you dont think i'm claiming this as my own

explain yo'self fo0!

I believe it was "yo' slang" that was indicating that the spoiler that you posted actually OWNES "all" and I think we could all make the claim that the spoiler pictured does in fact, NOT own "all" or for that matter, it would be ligically possibly true that the spoiler pictured does not "own" anything at all. It does not fulfill the requirements of ownership.

However, I can see where you are conserned for this spoilers right of ownership, and that is the basis for my comment about investment strategies. By that I mean, that IF this spoiler did in fact "own all" then it had better consider the possibility that "all" might depreciate to a point that ownership would not have the value that it holds today. Hence implimenting a strategie that will retain the value of its "ownership" right now, and protect that for future years.

I didnt think your comment made any sense at all. But I would suppose that it made sense at the time of writing. .

 

[greenmachine97]

just go with the 97-99 turbo wing. you cant go wrong with it!

 

[GSTicky04]

you know you can't go wrong with a stock spoiler. Turbo wing wouldnt be bad at all. Or just have no spoiler at all. Not sure who said it but someone said a paintjob? Well just get the holes closed up if you want to go that way, sell your stock spoiler and have some extra money for other mods on your list. All I can say about that park bench spoiler (aluminum wing) is can you save me a seat? Haha. Man seriously though, just do what you like, that's all that's going to matter in the end.

way to take it to the heart. if you really want me to rephrase then here it is :

I think this spoiler is one of the best one's available for a red/white/black car [ since it is CF ] .. and the 2nd post was a joke fo0 :laugh:

wow everyone is anal on here...

i guess you're not much of a CS fan to know what OWNS implies..

 

[Seattle GST]

well, I do know what you are trying to say by using "OWNES": (I even looked it up for you )


To have or possess as property
To have control over
To admit as being in accordance with fact, truth, or a claim; acknowledge

and YES I was joking, but it just sounds like an incredible idiotic way of describing "x" as being better than "y". . . why not just say "x is better than y" and then give your rational for your statement?

I do believe that is not considered anal, I believe it would be considered diction.

Choice and use of words in speech or writing.
Degree of clarity and distinctness of pronunciation in speech or singing; enunciation

Just a thought "FoO"

 

[InfamousEclipse]

do a stock turbo bro, the wings west one is too big at most angles IMO

 

[InfamousEclipse]

this wing OWNS all.. well, on either a black/red/white car.. not the fugly green

Thats the one im getting and my car is the 'fugly green'

 

[dynatos]

these ebonics war posts are great!

Seattle GST, i have to give ya mad props.. i mean.. eh hem..

Seattle GST, I must applaud your use of the english language. It is quite remarkable how you exposed this "slang" for what it really is: filth.


..just playin' ya'll. Again I must say, stock 95-96 turbo spoiler. So simple... So beautiful.

 

[Seattle GST]

I really am just joking around here, I have a very, very boring job. . .

But I personally believe that the 2g eclipse (B) look better with a higher spoiler, the 3 piece low looks better on the 2gA (also in my opinion).

 

[realitytb]

what do u guys think about this?

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

its not the same type of wing but i think it could look good.

Dont get an aluminum wing. When people see that they think "rice" Thats also what i think most of the time too. I guess ive seen too many dodge neons and pontiac sunfires running around with them on, but no other mods. But go with what u want, its your car!!

 

[Leichtspeed]

I like the 3pc midwing, it combines the height of the turbo spoiler with the wrap-around design of the stock 3 piece. I actually ordered it before, but changed my mind after seeing it from certain angles. It looks good from side angles, but I think from behind it doesn't look proportional.

Now, have any of you seen this wing? I like this lip style, I think this is very, very clean. I also really like that CF lip spoiler that was posted above.

I'd stay low-profile and conservative when it comes to the 2G: OEM 3-piece, Rdora, or Wangan.

Remember that the 97-99 turbo wing came out during the height of the "supra-style" fad craze when everyone was putting that style wing on their car to emulate the Toyota Supra. Mitsubishi simply catered to what was popular at the time. Just because it's OEM people forget that. If it wasn't OEM everyone here would be condemning it as rice.

Anyone remember the OEM Mitsubishi "GTR-style" wing on the 1999 3000GT VR4? Yeah that's factory rice:

Just because it's OEM doesn't mean it's not rice. Hell, look at what they put on the Evo 8. In my opinion, the turbo wing is no different. It's the same wing on the SRT-4 and appeals to the same audience: mainly adolescents. The eclipse was a mid-level sporty car, not a high-end sports car, and having a ridiculously high wing on the back doesn't change that.

But it's your car, so do what you want.

 

[big green]

The evo gets away with the big squareish wing because the Evo's body is not have a "swoopy" body like us 2g's. It flows better on the evo then most cars

amen.

as if it isn't bad enough i see more hondas/neons/etc with gigantic, ricey wings - new cars are coming out with the same crap.

Personally, i'd rather have my spoiler compliment the car, and not stand out as super big or really, really eye catching. I would want someone to look at my car, take in all the details, and just thing: wow, that's a really nice looking car. instead of "! look at how big that wing is!"

Seattle GST, i knew you were just joking - that's why i knew you wouldn't jump all over me for my post.

Granted, it's kind of a trademark with the Evos anyway, ever since the mid 90s. However, I'd have to say I completely agree with this opening comment in C&D's article regarding the EVO and WRX:

To most folks, the Evo and the STi look absurd. That's because these small economy sedans have been tarted up with improbable—some dare say juvenile—bits and pieces of racy-looking gear. In this fashion, they will be familiar to much of America as variations on the slammed Honda Civic theme.

And indeed, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution are performance cars that lack the voluptuous curves and tight muscularity most people associate with sporting cars in the $30,000 range. If the level of juvenile appeal can be measured by the height of an economy sedan's rear wing, then these two sedans are positively infantile.

Ouch!

 

[Seattle GST]

Wasnt it C&D that posted the Toyota Prius as the "car of the year"?

I dont mean to bash C&D, okay, I do mean to bash them. If there was a more BS magazine that is created for, funded by, and written by the old white male that grew up with big displacement in their brains.

They have shown their worth time and time again, as catering to old men. They do not understand the current youth movement, just as their parents didnt understand theirs. Just as President Bush caterors to the industries that pad his wallet, C&D caterors to the old stuffy white man that buys their magazine. :thumbdown

Back in their day "turbo" meant that air was "accelerated" by sucking it through a funnel shaped cone roughly 18" in length.

If C&D had actually DRIVEN the evo before bashing it they would find the same thing that all Evo RS owners are finding out. . . that spoiler will actually help on a road corse. . . OH WAIT C&D does NOT test on a road corse. . . those 0-60, 60-0, slalomn, and "test drive" definately show a sports cars true worth. Why dont you ask them what an active limited slip does?

I wasn't saying I agree with the article as a whole, but I found it interesting what they thought of the appearance of the cars.

However, if you had read the rest of the article (apparently you did not), you'd have found the rest to be quite a glowing appraisal of the Evo and WRX. Here's what your old corporate white men had to say:

This is all part of the appeal. These rally-inspired road cars—with which Europe and Japan are already thoroughly familiar after more than a decade of availability—are, in a sense, the newest and most-exciting class of performance cars to enter the U.S. market in years. Face it: To the latest generation of hot rodders, Mustangs and Camaros just ain't cuttin' it.

These are the new status symbols of performance. In fact, for those who do not aspire to own Corvettes, they are the anti-status-symbol status symbols. These are cars for the initiated—for those of you who stay up to watch the sideways glory of World Rally Championship coverage on the Speed Channel, and for those who choose to race the rally stages on Sony PlayStation's Gran Turismo. If the graybeards feel silly driving them, that's all the better.

And not only did they test drive the cars, they had Rod Millen test drive the cars.
