I know alot of you guys dont like them. but never really seen an eclipse that everyone liked with an aluminum wing.

I only like aluminum wings on cars that are lowered and kitted. If they aren't lowered and kitted it gives the appearance that the car is too high off the ground.

Aluminum wings don't belong on a 17 sec front wheel drive car.

i agree with what you guys that it should be lowered and have a kit. but do yall have some good pics of cars with them?

There is no good looking park bench out there. My friend has one on his spyder but look at it, what else would you have done to make it look nice? I've already riped him a couple of times for it.

Aluminum wings DON'T belong on a 2GNT . Period. Any downforce created by the wing at speed aversely affects handling by pushing down on the rear which pulls up the front where YOUR DRIVE WHEELS ARE. Other than that, they look ridiculous, they belong on race cars that need them and that's about it.

hey dumb fucks. he didnt ask what the physics of how a alum wing works. or if you like how they look. he asked to see some pics of 2gnt's with them on. dont be a cock suck now

i agree with grain, he asked for pictures of the cars..not your half ass remarks on if they belong on the car or not. I obviously looked at the post because i wanted to see pics..so how about posting some instead of all the "blow me" bs.

I don't particularly like alluminum wings on any car. For some reason, I thought they were "m4d tite y0" back when I first got my car. Thank god I never got one. Anyways, I've always liked this one.

if any of you actually watched speed channel and saw racing, theres tons of fwd cars with wings on the back racing. I'm not talking about like drag racing or just ricers out on the road either. These are full blown race cars with fwd and wings on road courses. why don't you go tell them they are ricey and the wing don't help

thanks beefgg for the sig

aluminum wings on FWD cars are stupid and ricey. AWD and RWD it would be okay.. if you ran like 11s.. FWD 17 second cars do not need aluminum wings.. if so i'll consider your car on the same level as a civic.

I know im new here so i shouldnt really get into arguments (trying to build a GOOD rep, not a cocky n00b rep heh)

But everyone here talks like people buy wings for DAILY DRIVEN CARS for performance! Face it, none of the wings on any street-legal car is really going to do ANYTHING! ITs all about the looks in our world when it comes to a wing, plus i dont see ANY Car that runs 11's needing a wing that creates downforce, all out drag cars have a wing that goes straight off the back, but thats not for downforce, its to decrease drag, which downforce CREATES... Now when you get into the 6 seconds, then we'll talk.

Stupid topic, not like a AWD or RWD car thats on the road would benefit anymore than a FWD from a alluminum wing, if it looks good GO FOR IT!

I also wanted to add the fact that a wing (a FUNCTIONAL WING) helps the rear tires get traction in ANY car, if a AWD car is used in a high speed road corse scenario, it would use the extra downforce to take the turns faster, because that essentially adds weight to the tires, and gives them more grip... And to add to the alluminum wing, all of our wings are mounted to the trunk, if the wing created anything CLOSE to the downforce created to HOLD the car down more, then your trunk would certainly cave in, i mean if you were to sit on a cars trunk would it not dent? Maybe not with Eclipses because of the hatch, but the same idea stilla pplies...

well heres my park bench that takes down force off my front tires haha

everyone behold the glorious n00b!!!!!!!

now he just needs to learn that he doesnt need an image tag in his sig. he can just post the url

Hmm.. ill ignore that comment, sorry for using HTML... but how are my comments making me a N00B? are you saying that a stock trunk on a car would hold up to downforce that will actually have an effect on the car?

Alright, let me be the first one to say that yes, i do own an aluminum wing, and yes its on the trunk of my car and im damn proud of it. I didnt buy it for downforce to help my car, but for looks. And ill be the 1st to admit it. Some people just like the looks of them and some dont. I like them for two reasons. I think their unique, and you dont hafta waste money painting them. Plain and simple. I dont think their ricey in the least, but i do agree with one of the above posts that they dont look too good on eclipses that arent lowered. Downforce? i think not. I noticed absolutely no difference on my 17 second fwd 420a and didnt expect too. Anyone that thinks a 5-10 pound piece of metal is guna make your car stick better obviously isnt thinking striaght. Everyone who owns a spoiler or is spoiler-less is taking offense only because they dont like wings, which is fine. But if people are admitting that they only own a wing for looks, no hard feelings. Go with what you think looks good. Thats what makes our cars unique in the first place. If everyone listened to everyone else we'd all be drivin cars that looked the same. And now if i may...to quote a coors light commercial..."So buy her a beer, its the reason your here, mighty WINGman, youre taking one for the team, so your buddy can live the dream...."

I agree, but a 5-10 pound hunk of metal COULD make your car stick better, if it was designed using computers and a wind tunnel on a specific car

3-4 yrs ago things were unique .. now its everywhere ... u want to be unique .. remain stock
