Wow I sure hope that isn't real. That looks hideous. Of course taste is subjective and to each their own but yikes.

I need some eye bleach.
I have seen such monstrosities added to ricermobiles but never to a $100k car. I will give the owner credit for not adding four fart cans to the exhaust system.

Don't worry. I am sure the fart cans will be the next mod to the car. The guy is on a roll, so let's not impede progress.

This can’t be real… if it is, wow. I know YouTube is influencing a lot of the younger crowd to put ridiculous wings on their sports cars but this one is so out of place with no other exterior mods. Just the wing.

The paint looks spotless!
The CCM rotors always look so clean, too bad replacement requires a 2nd mortgage.

Agreed, BUT, you saw the wing, right?

Wing? I didn’t see anything. Nothing to see here

well if the owner ever looks here, mate good on you, I expect there is plenty more to be done to that car and I reckon it'll look wild in the finish.

I would never park any vehicle I own with the front end overhanging into the parking spot in front of me. Nor would I install that wing on anything. I guess you could connect it to the rear of a pickup and use it to back drag snow.

My house is short on closet space so I installed a coat rack on the back of my car...

That wing is not casting much of a shadow but other cars aren't either. Would think you would see something unless sun is directly overhead.

I can't wrap my head around the ugliness of that car. There are kids around here who have done a better job bolting wings on their Hyundais.

Oh.. I thought that was the for the drag strip as drag bars when it does wheelies. Sorry, I enjoy seeing wings on some cars, this makes it look unbalanced in the back. Nope, definitely not for me.

Default Totally Laughable

Very useful on cars at 150 plus mph, I guess. Otherwise great to laugh at, just like the "fart can" Dyson vacuum sweeper sounding Honda .

I think it looks like trash imo, doesn't fit the car at all. But it's his car. Also unless your car is a dedicated track car. A wing that size is useless.

Honestly I'd have to wonder at the structural integrity of the installation at 150MPH. It's a big wing and may generate a lot of downforce at speed. If it is just bolted to the existing sheet metal (specifically sheet aluminum in this case), one might not find it in exactly the same position after a 150MPH run as it was before the 150MPH run.

Perhaps they thought of that .....

Default Right !

Concern about understeer at speed may be valid. I'd add a another, same design, to the front.
