Removed the stock wing today. Trunk will need refinished, paint is scratched and cant be buffed. The clips will be removed and the holes closed up too obviously. Looks like all that is getting done next week. Went ahead and mounted new Odula wing, looks pretty tight. Heres a few pics:

Odula.com or japanparts.com. Yuki has it posted since i bought it. Wing is pricey, about 1200. Lil more after yuki from japanparts puts his stamp on it lol....but yuki is great and ships fast. Cant beat it.

Is it supposed to do anything at that height?

Does nothing less than a stock spoiler, and looks a hell of a lot cooler. Im not going to put a 12 inch high GT wing on my car just "to do something at 100+ mph", while looking ridiculous at the same time. This wing was meant for a tight, clean look. I believe that is exactly what it accomplishes.

You are incorrect. A wing starts helping with down force well under 100mph, more like 30mph.

That is very debatable. There are multiple threads concerning that topic. Here is a quote from Eric Meyer about GT wings, and I will believe anything he says:

"Not required. Only work at high speeds which require huge grip and VERY custom suspension. Add drag at high speeds. Save your money and buy tires.

Listen to experience. If you want one because it "looks cool"---buy it. If you want it to go faster, you will not find measurable gains.

Look at the Koni Challenge Cars with more hp and more grip than your car (not to mention the race fields can include some of the best drivers in the U.S.). Look at the wings (or lack of)."

Now stop thread jacking my cool wing thread!!!

dshiznit1489 07-18-2010 08:36 PM

That is all true, but not my point. I am just saying, whether noticeable or not, a wing helps with down force from speeds as low as 30mph. Then again, I am saying this only from knowledge I have gained from reading, and not personal experience.

Oh and to stay on topic, your wing looks badass lol.

Best R3 period.

Krazed_Rx8 07-20-2010 02:16 PM

I think the spoiler looks nice.. but mounted not so much.. :dunno:
