I also don't see how they are put on? Screws on the inside of the bumper? Can't be just tape.

I suppose your right, but to me it would be like driving with a huge functional wing. Sure it helps, but looks pretty funny (rice-ish). If that makes sense, lol

Gotcha. Was gonna say, no way only tape was holding those down.

Haha, I hear you. Kinda wish functional aero upgrades (canards, wings, splitters) didn't get the bad wrap because a couple of 90hp Civic DX's in the 1990's decided to put them on.

I don't really think that's the problem. Any car guy can tell the difference between a pep-boys ricer wing and a functional race wing. It just looks "wrong" on a street car, IMO. Wings and crazy vents and other aero bits as well as graphics and decals belong on the track... a cleaner look is more "appropriate" for the street.

This, of course, is all my personal opinion.

I certainly see that point. And I'm not down with people putting on canards and wings who never see a track. I was just saying, people who track their daily drivers shouldn't have to put up with being lumped into the "ricer" category when they are doing it for a functional purpose. Hard to remove a wing and canards during the weekdays unless you want to drive around with holes in your car. But, I guess we differ there. And that's cool.

It's really no big deal. You'd have to be a major d-bag to go up to a guy like Mike and tell him he's a ricer because he runs a functional race wing on a car that sees the track a lot. I sure as hell wouldn't think that.

And usually it's pretty easy to tell who's real and who's not. If I ever saw a hellaflush car with a huge track wing on it'd be pretty obvious that it's all show.
