My X Wing RX8

I liked the X-Men car, the only thing that I did not really like was the rims on that car, could have done a better job.
The replica X-men spoiler does not seem to do a very good job at capturing the design of original X-men spoiler.
Here are the pictures found on rotarynews.com, http://rotarynews.com/node/view/142
Notice that the pictures in the original post, the base part of the wing is as wide as the trunk lid, where as the the original x-men spoiler is not.
Original also does not appear to curve as much as the replica.
As for the diagonal fins of the spoiler, the original sticks out very further, since base is shorter.

Looked at mesh and saw a cool metal horizontal looking grill with rx8 on it. If anyone has some grill tips. Please let me know. Preciate it.

If the wing tickles your pickle, then more power to you man. Honestly it's not my style, but if you worked hard to buy the wing and put it on your car then congrats on your purchase.

Honestly though, I knew everyone on the forum would hate it which is why I put off showing pictures up here so soon. But it just shocks me that all the people who can't stand it keep clicking the link that says "Xmen wing" on it. I don't really like lip spoilers, but I don't go around telling people how awful I think they look because it's taste. But like I said when this all started, whatever, it looks good and I get laid on a regular basis so I could care less what anyone thinks...

Hint to Marvin: You're getting boned a lot because the girls think that spoiler resembles a crib. A baby Jesus and some tinsel and you'd have a perfectly good Christmas nativity scene on that back of that yellow beauty. Just don't park in on government property...separation of church and state and all that.

Screw gas mileage
here's the best pic of it I've taken....
Every time someone posts a pic of this wing the same 5-10 people always post and tell them it looks like ****. We already know your feelings, and no one cares. It is not a very photogenic wing, and looks better in person. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it from people that have not seen X2 and, amazingly, have not visited this forum and been told what looks good by Mugatu

, muhaha thats just mean. I guess the same could be said about the mazdaspeed spoiler, I know my friends who don't know anything about cars will say it's ricey and give me **** when I put it on my car. But oh well, looks are subjective.
