Shawrf1,
Very very nice. I'm not a fan of graphics but your's even looks awesome with the graphics on it. And those rims are a vast improvement. Very tight.

In addition to that functionality, the side plates serve as "advertising space" for sponsors. In terms of aftermarket wings for street cars and show cars, it's all about getting the "look" of those million-dollar professional race cars, whether or not the car will ever touch a real race track...

Wayne: Congrats on the new show! Looks like you've got a busy year ahead of you. Korea isn't too bad - i'm getting separation anxiety from my daughter, but all is well. Sold the WRX... I don't know the owner/kid too well, so I can't comment.
cortc: the TE-37's are F: 19x8.5 +43 and R: 19x9.5 +34. Still getting info on the Ro_Ja Formula 2's.
Lightemup: just caught your post... I'm serving a 1-year tour in Yongsan/Seoul, originally from CA.

On a whole, I'm not a fan of gargantuan wings. However, having seen the aggressive Veilside kit added to all sides of the car, I feel (feelings are subjective, see?) the wing gives aesthetic balance to the rear of the car, more so than a bare trunk would. This, combined with the fact that Veilside provided the parts gratis and that I'm 100% behind their great products, makes it a no-brainer on the wing.

looks hot...
but i feel that at the front, the nose drops down too much, and makes the car look like it's got a huge nose, something you'd see on a halloween witch. kinda gives it a bad ***/freaky/don't mess with me or i'll turn you into a cat kind of look...
