new pics

though ppl is gonna flame you about the park bench, i think it's done nicely, you manage to manipulate the colors and line so that it flows. the stripe on the side gives the car a "longer" look to take the emphasis away from the large wing. silver black red scheme is nicely done so that the silver portion of the wing don't stick out. finally. get a new front end, not aggresive enough to match the rest.

The pics are deff real, I love this wing, I think it matches the car very well. The pics do not to it justice you have to see it in person. The wheels are new as well, they are the new 5Zigen Zr+520's 18x8.5+32 in the front and 18x9.5+38 in the back w/ 245/45-18's Front and 275/35-18's in the back.
on a side note, I have many friends w/ ca18's sr20's rb20's rb25's and so on. I wouldn't recommend the rb20 they just aren't as fast as you think they'd be. I loved my CA18, its a great engine but they are almost 20 years old and need to rebuilt. It's a common misconception that you can't find CA18 parts in the us but 95% of the parts are the same as various non turbo and single cam engines in a few diff cars sold in the US. In my opinion I'd go w/ the CA but if you don't want to do a rebuild off the bat.......get an SR20 they are a dime a dozen but there is a reason for that, they are great motors and if your not afraid to spend a little cash and take your time you can still find a good one that will be fun and reliable.

I'm gonna sound like a broken record: Looks good beyond the wing (not a wing fan but I could tolerate the wing if there were more aggressive ground effects or something to help blend it in but I haven't seen it in person). I like the striping, very original and of course the wheels are excellent. Nice pics.

OK here it goes.......The wing isn't actually mine, I would buy this wing in a heartbeat though if I had the money. Its a C-west 1450mm Carbon fiber Time attack wing. Its the same exactly wing that is on the C-west Carbon Time attack S2k. The wing was purchased for an S2k but the owner no long has the car. It has never been mounted and is just sitting on my truck. These pics were the first time this wing has actually seen Direct Sunlight, its in perfect condition. I may try and work something out to buy it since I Do track my car and the Added down force would prob help out. As you may know C-west wind tunnel tests all of their products so it is deff effective. The wing Cost $1450 new plus $300 shipping from C-west Japan. If anyone is interested let me know. I just wanted to post some pics and get some reactions before I put it in the for sale section. If anyone is interested PM me and we can work something out.

I dont think I will ever get clear corners, I think the ambers look great w/ red. With a nice front lip and side skirts it would look more at home. The thing is, this wing is actually wind tunnel tested and functional for track use. New its $1450 plus $300 shipped from japan, its no ebay knock off or anything
