That actually made me say "whoa" out loud, it looks awesome except for the bra, and maybe the wing could be shortened an inch or so. I think I like painted ones....

Same reaction over here!
:ylsuper

I like the bra... but then again they are kinda a relic of the 80's. I might get a wing on my DMC, but I don't need any more stability in the rear (60% of my weight is over the rear drive wheels).

Any ideas on front spoilers? I mean, putting a wing that big on the front hood will just look odd!

It looks like it's sitting a lot higher than stock. I don't like it.

I wonder if it would look better with 16's and 17's instead of 17's and 18's

Perhaps the appearence of being too high is caused by the arc of the road, and the extremely low angle of the camera?

front air dam is your spoiler, other than that you could add a wing, and i'll discuss an idea with you when I see you next, but I dont think theres much good. For drag racing you want your front up and rear down, helps the launch.

I'm thinking of buying one of those "splitters" (or making my own) to fit under the small factory front spoiler. It won't look as cool as a front air dam, but should give the same result.

I still prefer the stock stainless look, but that is pretty sharp.

I agree that the stainless is the best and ONLY severely wrecked cars should be modified in this fashion. Okay, off my soapbox...
