Yes, thats a Double Wing on the rear deck, along with a wing ontop the car. Which is wider than the whole car itself.
If that doesnt prove that SoCal has the worst rice around... then I dont know what does.
And yes, thats a stock RSX next to the Civic. The RSX left him in the dust... cause he had too much downforce.

I got pics of a car show I was at in newport news, I'll post some pics of the rice later. They weren't that bad though.

Well why would you put the wing on the back of a front wheel drive car either? (especially when you're not planning to go around curves?)

casue they wish they can do wheelies like RWD's too. so they put as much downforce as possible on the rear to get the drive wheres off the ground.

People like this should be hung by their toenails and beaten like a dirty rug.

To me it looks like a Saturn SL1. Those things have something like 90 hp on a good day and with all his rice mods it's probably more like 50 hp.

but i thought wings added 10 hp :uhoh:

And Honda owners wonder why they get stereotyped so much...... :rolleyes:
I bet there's only about 1% of Hondas in this world that are actually worthy of some respect. Other than that, they should all be stock-pilled and then blown up together.

Piled, incorrect spelling undermines your point a little :hehehe:

Not too big a deal..I'm sure there are people from all over in this forum, and I am also sure some either don't speak english as their first language or are a bit rusty. The point itself makes more of an impact in that case and less so the spelling.:sun:

alloy? seems pointless the extra weight would make the benefits from extra Downforce(if it even works) worthless.

What downforce? :D They are not shaped like inverted wings, they will generate no downforce and are pretty much just aluminium pieces bolted onto a bumper. They have no effect (positive, that is) whatsoever.

Keep an eye out for a yellow/black Tercel with ungodly wings and BMW badges:rolleyes:.
Sometimes when I'm hanging out at my friend's shop here in Phoenix, I would drive customer's cars from the front to the garage in the back if he's really busy...just to help out.
Just pulling out on the street, I keep thinking: "I hope nobody thinks this car is mine". I don't understand how people can drive those exact same cars everyday and stand people looking at them like they're morons...and they think they're cool.
