I would add some nice aluminium/carbon spoiler, it would be the dot on i and finish the racer look.

Thank you. Wings are dumb and pointless for street cars. Teenagers stop putting them on your cars they are ugly.

I agree. Wings would be dumb and pointless. That would create lift which is something you don't want when you're trying to grip the road.

the angle decides what direction the air force goes, so if u flip it over it will be lift they are made for down force (downward lift) and some of the newer ones can generate lift at 30mph, but when do teenagers do turns.

i agree though looks kinda dumb for the giant wings.

Not as sporty as the last batch on here, but I've replaced my boring old ride with a slightly less boring one:

Actually they are supposed to be set up for downforce... but I always laugh at guys with wings on their hondas, downforce over the rear wheels on a front wheel drive car.... :ROTF:

I'm not typically a fan of body kits, but nijel's isn't some wonky looking thing, actually looks decent mostly. I personally thing the rear bumper skirt is a little too much (fins are a bit too big IMO) but again that is IMO and if he likes it that's fine.

theres alot of nice body kits for jap cars but most of the kits u see are not installed correctly and are not racing kits and are to look like fast and the furious on hondas.

I see a lot of body kits on Honda's around here.... the problem is they are always partially finished......

Here are my "children"
1996 Pontiac Grand Prix 3100. I try to take pretty care of my cars, it's got 196,000 miles on it right now. Won't be long and it'll be crossing 200,000. It was my first car and hopefully I'll hold on to it for a long long time. Always gets full synthetic changed every 5,000 miles. Burns about a quart in that time...alot better than some new cars!

2001 Chevy Monte Carlo SS. It's almost loaded...I'm just missing heated leather. Rides nice, handles nice, and has a little bit of get up and go. It's just got a plain 3800 but it goes well enough. Love the gas mileage I get with it too, on trips I can get about 30 MPG. Also full synthetic oil every 5,000 miles with roughly the same consumption...though this is still a baby at 113,000 miles.

1930 Ford Model A. This was my grandpa's car, he restored it and it was passed on to me. I've had to do quite a bit of up keep through the years but its all worth it. Great little car with a lot of history.

I know, I know. I have douche-bag number plates. I've been driving this for quite a few years now and they seemed like a good idea when I was younger. Looking at getting the new Z4 this year so I'll get some more mature plates then (I want Euro plates even though I live in Australia).

Oh you say that now. I was a Honda man till I rode a D675. The 3 cyc is the best engine I have ridden on. Street and track it just eats up the jap bikes since its low end is amazing. Still trying to get the suspension setup, but will probably go full Ohlins this winter depending on how much I spend on vacation haha, but thank you for the comment.

Also your Benz is looking very nice man. I am actually looking at getting an Audi S5 sometime this year.
