Re: Real JDM Spoiler Installed. Pics inside. 56k Take a Hike.

Like I said his car looks great except for my "personal preference" comments about the wing.

Almost as nice looking as solarsvx's car which is the best looking one every seen.

Re: Real JDM Spoiler Installed. Pics inside. 56k Take a Hike.

Btw, how much is this car lowered ?

How is it lowered ? Cut springs our lowering kit ?

Looks lower than mine. I sometimes I wish mine was 1/2" lower

Once again, I have to say again, the car looks fantastic.

With the side skirts this car would have a far better look though.

Its lowered with.... lowering springs. Isn't cutting springs dangerous?

I would have to disagree and say this car looks great without skirts or any other lower add-on. I think the wing is okay on its own.

I thought long and hard about the side skirts back when i was getting my car repainted. I opted not to go with them mainly because I feel the car would need the front "splitters" in conjunction with the skirts to look right. As much as I love those, they are not an option for me as i would no longer be able to get my car into my driveway because of ground clearance.

I appreciate your comments, pensive, but I like my car the way that it is.

When he posted the videos of that wing, I was under the impression that he was joking.

In my opinion, the JDM spoiler adds character and gives Mike's lowered car an even more aggressive appearance.

Re: Real JDM Spoiler Installed. Pics inside. 56k Take a Hike.

Green, I see your point about the front spoilers being almost required for the side skirts.

Your car looks fantastic without the skirts anyway. I fell in love with the SVX as it was produced without skirts so an SVX with no skirts is very cool. My personal preference is to have the skirts which really do takes the car away from that standard SVX look.

I personally even think the skirts change the look of the car more than any wings does.

Put back on the standard wing and I give your car a 90.
With your current wing it still looks good with an 85.
With original wing, side skirts and front you get 100 easily.

I have to disagree, and give credit where its due, as he is one of only a couple people to successfully purchase, import, and install this genuine item.

Also, I suppose my car fails because its wingless?

Maybe I'd scrape by with a 75.

Re: Real JDM Spoiler Installed. Pics inside. 56k Take a Hike.

Mike, dont try to make my compliments to Green into negative comments.

Greens car looks great. I do like the wing. Its not the best wing in my opinion. So what. Get over it.

Stop saying his car looks bad and muddying up his thread.

Btw, I dont know your car. Perhaps you can start a thread for it if you want me to score it however I wont score your car in Green's thread.

Warning though, I think my car, Greens car, and any other SVX that is wingless gets a lower score from me. I would give my car, Greens car, and any other SVX a score in the 70's without a wing so your guess of 75 is probably dead on.

Stop trashing up Greens thread though.

Post your own pictures in a thread.

Huh?

I like Mike's car too. I wasn't disagreeing.

I did think the scoring thing was a bit humorous, thats all.

The scoring thing is ridiculous. It was really a silly way of complimenting him though.

I wish that my car could get an 85, 80, 91.
