Default Oh God No

I saw it, I'm sure the "R" is photochopped, but the rest made me scream outloud at work. Some people need to die for doing this to a Z.

It's not just an R...looks like it says MotoRex...but the other letters are white. Motorex is the company in Cali that imports, legalizes, and sells Skylines. I think their website is skylinegtr.com or something to that effect.

It's still hideous though!

Edit:Victor, you are waaaaay too fast.

Oh Yeah... MotoRex.. right, nice catch. ;-)

It's pretty sad when homer simpson's stomach could fit between where the trunk and the spoilor wing is.

I can't believe this is in the modifications for performance forum. So it creates downforce. Big [expletive] deal! I could screw a couple of 2x4's to the back and create downforce. Maybe we need a forum called Modifications for [insert expletive of your choice]...

EDIT: Ok, sorry for the anger. I just can't get over all the [expletive, expletive, expletive] things people are doing to cars. I'm so sick of seeing amature, [expletive], 'performance' mods that it makes me physically nauseaous. I think I may need to start a 'vent' thread...

perhaps you need to take a class on fluid dynamics.







anyhoo. the reason why so many GT wings are so "high" on the Z is that's because thats the only place where it will get any downforce. a lid spoiler or even the nismo wont do anything due to the air flow over the car. its gotta be at least mid roof line or higher to get any effect.


try your wood 2x4 spoiler. that would be funny. then we'd be laughin at YOU.

Yes, I realize all this. I have taken a class in fluid dynamics. I guess anger management would have been better suited.

As for the wood spoiler, that was my attempt to shed light on the balance between 'performance' (ie downforce) with aesthetics. Obviously I was too subtle...

Please, half the ppl that put those goddamn ugly wings on their cars dont even race. Dont try to compare what you see on a Le Mans car to the gay ******** you see on civics.

Cool Let's not forget....

...when attending your favorite RICE car show, with your appropriately riced-out example, you don't have to look for a place to eat, you can just have a pic-nic on your wing, which doubles as a table.

Hey VQRACER, how many race cars park on the lawn? This pic doesn't look like it is from the track. They should change the R to an S, with S stading for S&#%ty.
