CelticRacer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 except the wing still causes more drag.. and i doubt he will be cornering at those speeds anyways.. so the wing is more for looks than performance and the same can be said about the lip, you will probably not see performance out of either part. BUT to each his own. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r_wiggum01 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 a lip doesn't cause drag unless it's poorly designed. a properly designed lip reduces drag, which can not only help performance, but also highway mpg. nor is it really a Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement when most of the people running lips are running something either OEM or OEM-ish. no comment on the wing though, don't feel like getting in to that discussion.

CelticRacer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 i agree that a wing adds drag (no confusion about it, thanks) when attempting to race, but it does add downforce non the less. and that downforce that probably wont be seen is the same type of performance as the aerodynamics given via a lip. so i agree with seb that a lip is at least borderline "rice" by the standards of which we all judge things to be "rice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Apparently rice is contagious. One car had rice and it infected the one next to it. Not rice, but a hilarious pic never the less.

diablo2dusk Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 i found this form of an integra at walmart the other day, its mostly the rims and killer paintjob that make it discusting.

BrIaN EG2 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 that ugly as shat, but could be fixed easily with a CF hood, new wheels, stock tails, and minus those stickers. i seen alot worse when i was in highschool, i wish i would have had a digi cam back then.. there was a kid with a DA9 GSR that had tenzo r ugly ass wheels, autozone fartcan, euro tails, redone interior (black and gold), black boat paint (with HUGE gold flakes) and that bodykit from the baby blue integra on TFATF i think it was called the extreme or something.. it was hideous!!! bleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always say that if i dont have the power under the hood to even need like hood latches or a fake nos bottle i dont want it. I do admit having put a big ass muffler on my car just cuz it was free.
