e man, i know where you are comming from with this. i have also thought about doing a cobra r wing and front splitter. BUT as much as you and I know they are functional, most everybody else will not, and they will give you shit for it. I love the idea tho

big Jeff coming through
i will most likely not do a wing just for the value of the car. coilovers yes, and maybe soon.
as for being a “ricer” you all can eat my clit.

Yeah if you got a wing, you would have to ditch the hard parker rims for something more race-functional.

Quote from a test on the 2000 Cobra R
“Testing shows the splitter and wing are the good guys in the R’s one-handed, high-speed stability. The combination produces a 10-fold reduction in front-end lift, along with a 3-fold increase in rear downforce. The drag penalty turned out to be about 5 mph–from approximately a 175-mph top speed down to 170. Even for racing, this is an excellent trade.”
i wish the wing didnt look like a book shelf lol

actually, i think his wheels are “special” racing ccw’s…the metal is hogged out on the interior of the spokes and they are really light.

No. Absolutely not.
I will personally drive up to your house, rip it off, and leave a check for the price of the wing under your wiper if you choose to do so. :thumbup

Oddly enough, The people with problems with CCW’s are the drift fanboi’s. They are usually rocking steelies or some knock off wheel anyways.
I’d buy HRE’s/ADV1’s If I could afford them.
_waits for HRE haters_
