What do you guys think about this kind of Rear Wing?? I'M planing to get one of these,but I'm not sure maybe the stock Wing looks better , Give me your opinions about that thanks alot

If the wing fit better and was a weeeeeee bit lower, then yeah, but not with the way it is now.
 
Most of my friends call those 'shopping cart' wings. They're relatively fugly, personal opinion. Not as low-class as the punch-and-bolt park bench wings, but... it just doesn't fit the lines of the car, isn't functional for downforce, and the only time it'd create any kind of stabilization effect, you'd be going double, if not triple legal freeway speeds. :b

Beyond that, it adds weight and subtracts style and taste.


But you never know. It might be heavy enough to eliminate the squeak. :D
 
All that wing is gonna make you do is look like a fool and make it so your back hatch wont stay open. Im sure it produces no downforce and is just gonna wieght the car down. Dont get it, just stick with stock make the car look alot better
 
Although everyone is putting down the wing, in the end its your car, so if you like it, get it. Other people, who dont drive dsms, will more then likly think it looks good. And since its your car and your money, its really your choice what you do to the car.

That being said, I wouldnt put it on my car because the fitment is weird. As said though, it it was a little lower it might look better
 
ive seen it in person and i liked it.
 
are you 8ft tall and planning on turning you car into a lawn mower?...if so...then i'd say that's the coolest thing ever...

seriously though...it doesn't look right...it's too tall...almost to the point of being able to see it out the front window...

this is only my opinion.
 
It's all about design...work with the curves of the car to create harmony between the aftermarket parts you install to dress up the exterior, and the stock factory sheet metal. There should be no trade-off or compromise; everything must compliment each other. That wing is squarish at the edges (compared to, say, a stock GSX 99 wing), so it's edges are "edgy" enough to look nice on your car, BUT the height is NOT. If the height was half of what it is now, or even 2/5ths, we could have something sweet to work with.
 
I think it sucks.
you asked.

I used to think this might be a good idea, and after seeing several pictures, my opinions have greatly changed. I love the 1gb talon wing (again, maybe just cause that's what i got) but as far as an aftermarket wing, I like the Sniper.

So then what do you guys think about all the RSX's that have the same wing?

I've yet to see an RSX with that wing, so I have no idea what you're talking about. This is the only one I've seen on "all the RSX's"

very different from this:

The RSX one is much lower, has very sharp edges/corners, and is "horned" or "raised" on either side. It matches the factory "sharp" look of the RSX very well. In person, it looks more like the celica "action package" wing. And now that i look at it, the rsx wing may look better than the supra wing on the 1st gen.
 
those 2 wings look similar? looks different to me.. the RSX "type r" style wing looks more straight edged.. while that lawn mower one looks bigger and smooth curve..

that RSX wing looks good because it flows nicely with the body's lines.. and it doesnt seem as tall as that one on the 1G..

the guy who posted this above knows what i'm saying..

that wing is far too big for that car. maybe if it was half the size it would look clean. it is too big and doesnt flow well with the body line. a 1g has very sleek streamlined look, and that huge shopping cart handle just ####s it up. that spoiler you want almost clears the roofline. only car that should have a spoiler that clears the roofline is a superbird.

now on to the rsx-s wing.

it is angular and flows well with the body of the rsx. i especially like the desert silver metallic color with the wing.
 
My opinions:
-The RSX TypeR wing and the one on the DSM look quite different.

-The one on the DSM looks like junk. Makes the car look like what kids thought was cool back in the mid to late 90s.

-The RSX looks much better in person with that spoiler (IMO) than the the stock spoiler does.

-There are really no good aftermarket spoilers IMO for the 1G DSMs. Their body lines just don't seem to lend themselves nicely to what is out there.
