i just put on my new re-amemiya gt II wing so i thought i would celebrate by going to buttonwillow

. it was a lot of fun, pretty crowded though. sorta sucked that there was a pretty bad accident in the morning, two cars pretty much got totaled. luckily everyone was ok. a gt wing makes a huge difference, i was able to corner at much high speeds and get on the gas sooner. anyways...onto the pics

looks so fun to be able to do that.
so would you say the wing was worth the cash?

it was definitely worth the cash, the car is much more stable at speed

Nice. What is the material of the spoiler? How much do these go for?

the spoiler is wet carbon, i got it for about $1500 plus shipping. re amemiya makes a dry carbon version but its about $2.3k

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

you sir, have all my respect. gotta love the fd <3 +1
i was looking to buy one but i moved out and bought a tsx instead ...

feed side skirts compliment the looks so well that it doesn't even look aftermarket. now slap on a 99 spec front bumper and tails if you haven't already done so

i dont know the numbers. it has 5 different positions you can set it at. i had it on the 3rd one, whatever number it generates it makes a huge difference. i wouldnt adjust the wing any lower until i get some more front downforce, it has slight understeer in highspeed stuff. which is actually nice because i can push it harder

i have the tails on already (they are 96 spec actually) and a feed bumper sitting in my garage
