That's a lot of rice

I agree with you man 100%. Where not haters...I believe everyone is just having fun!
A red neck called my Z a rice compared to his big truck.
I did not take offense I even told him "thank you in fact I eat rice everyday"

rest of the car looking good....

wish I could see it from another angle...I hope it does create enough downforce to use it

The wing seems to far back

Just to prove it's not all hate, I appreciate the effort it took to get the car's finish looking so great!

I think a critical part of "rice" is the mods have to be nonfunctional and/or poorly executed... like you squirted glue all over a Civic and then drove it through a Pep Boys.

Sadly, there's still a lot of it out there. Not sure if this one qualifies though.

If the wing doesn't work, it's rice.

Thing is, the wing is big enough to actually work. And ugly.

So, it's pretty ugly either way, right?

But if the guy is winning races with it because it's a race car then that's OK.

Or maybe he's just driving it around on the street and bolts the Kitty Hawk to his car exclusively for shows...

What I'm saying is, I think we need more information, but either way that wing is pretty ugly.

Obviously this guy is a sports fan. That's why he installed a mobile eating surface on the back of his car for the maximum tailgate experience. No longer will he have to search for a place to rest his drink when it's burger time.

For all we know, the guy could be an exceptional track driver, far better than any of us will ever be. So without the right context...

The wing itself is the same APR wing I have on my car but mine is mounted to the trunk hatch. It helps a ton on the track but has some movement as it compresses the weather stripping of the hatch so that set up most likely works better. Mounting it back more also gives it more leverage for the down force. I don't like how it looks but I bet it works.

Zteve · 08-07-2014, 09:22 AM

does not look stable at all

Would mounting it that far back possibly unload the fronts some?
