Yes, you can detach the upper portion of the wing and leave the pedestals. PM sent!

Essentially, what it comes down to is function over form. Guys that like to road race their cars need the additional down force around the track. As far as form, it's subjective. Some guys love the race look, almost all professional competition cars run some sort of GT wing; Formula 1, Super GT, Super-Taikyu, etc.

No offense taken at all. I know that probably majority of the forum members probably liked my car a whole lot better in its previous form but I don't build my car to impress others on this forum but to impress my sponsors and they're always happy with my execution. I get hated on time and time again but it's all good cause everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that. My car was built with purpose as a marketing car and I personally love it and I'm not even done finishing the build yet. Because of the sponsors that I have is one of the big reasons why I get offered movie, tv, commercial gigs as well as media exposure in print as well as events. People always say that its all about who you know and I think this statement is completely inaccurate. Who cares who you know, its all about who knows you.

haha c'mon man!


I effing love massive over the top wings. I love them. I dont care how anyone else feels about them.

Andy your car looks sicker now than ever before.
That wing is intense!

Still undecided on what wing I will put on my car if I ever get to that point, It would definitely be the final piece (after all the aero and performance parts are done (done? you can never be done!!))

Your joking right? Besides the fact that the nismo wing is downright disgusting looking do you honestly think it comes CLOSE to generating the same downforce as a real wing?

Honestly, I like the way Andy's car looks now. It's a look you have to ask yourself, "can i pull this off?" and he did.

I'd seriously go with a long nose, GT wing and (tasteful) vinyl if I had sponsors.

But since my car is a DD with no sponsors to impress (not to mention it never saw a race track). I'd keep it as road car looking as possible.

I'm sorry but most of those porsche spoilers and overcall car is sexy compared to that huge gawdy spoiler on those z's. I just don't see how you can compare the two cars. sowwie
