Not really, at least as I understand... it served more as a means to disperse the natural vacuum that occurs behind a car, thus reducing the coefficient of drag, thus providing better times by actually making the car accelerate quicker! w00t!

When combined with the Mugen front end and hood it actually helps the car stay on the ground...kinda like the reverse of an airplane wing. the front end and hood push more air over the roof of the car creating lower air preasures under the car. This difference pushes down on the car. When the air reaches the back of the car the wing is then used to even the flow of air back out dispersing the vacuum created.

I wrote that post a little too quick at work. And here is the pic.

I lubs it, yes I do... a functional bodykit that looks hotter than a supermodel...

But, first I need to get a JDM front end, then spend another $2.5K for all of the mugen parts...

***edit: They even illustrated in the Mugen hood vent!

Sweet, but im not feelin the wing, even tho it is functional, ask yourself, everything that you do daily, with your car, would that wing make a difference for the $700? Not everything MUGEN is clean..

Your car, your opinion on wat you like better. Since you are asking for my opinion, I do not like the boxy wing. I do think it looks more adaptive on the DB Integras, even though he had to make some mods. Your car, your taste, you like that wing u get it, you like altezzas, you get it.

As for me, personally with $700 w/o paint, I could get a few mods that would make my car more responsive/increase performance.
