Re: anybody put the 97-99 turbo wing on a spyder?

hmm. I've seen one on a spider a couple times. I looked kinda funny but at the same time it fitted (as in it looked better than a drag wing)...

googled it and got this..

Nobody on here will probably like it.. I can see alot of people being negative about this but I personally like it.

It actually looks better than I thought it would. That is something you should look into further down the road of tinkering with your DSM.

Worry about getting your suspension where you want it to be, getting your engine making good (RELIABLE) power like you want, and even maybe an AWD swap.

It may look good with the top up but once the top is down it looks REALLY bad!

How far does the trunk pop up on an Eclipse Spyder? Would the big wing hit the back window?

later,
Curt

i think it would hit the window actually the trunks open straight up even alittle past and after looking at those pics it looks good with the top up but when the top goes down its iffy at best

Doesn't look that bad with the top up, as soon as it's down it makes the car look like some sort of barbie car or some shit...

Convertibles look retarded with big wings.
