A bit much for a street car?

It's that fake momo wing again! Some guy was trying to sell one on eBay last year. He bought a cheap wing, some momo stockers, et...voila! Momo wing!
Stickers are OK on race cars, but only on race cars.

Lets see.........
At 132 mph (top speed) my NA got lift under the front and the steering got light.
So what did this guy acomplish with the "Full Race Adjustable Wing"
Lift on the rear
Less lift on the front & Increased aerodynamic drag = slower top speed + possible oversteer at speed (scary).
Downforce on the rear
More lift on the front & Increased aerodynamic drag = slower top speed + possible understeer at speed (scary)
Neutral
No impact = dat b a bad a$$ mo fo wing.
Only the wind tunnel knows for sure......sounds like a good investment to me!
(Now if he also got a front wing and another 400 hp, maybe he's onto something....barf, gag, hack, choke)

At those time the only solution is to slow down to a measley 160 km/h in the middle lane.

Whoever the owner he dressed up this car in race style to look like a track car. And he's done a nice job <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" /> I like that rear spoiler!

Well, i would agree that this is a small helping of rice, that spoiler is totally oversized and im sure doesnt too a whole lot to be honest. If that was a Powerhaus Turbo, with 400+ HP i would be more accepting! But what i want to know is why there is a Type R sticker on the car, did he convert to a front wheel drive 1.7 liter rice burner???????

LeftLaneGuy - If you're not joking you need to be on a different sort of board.
That car WOULD look pretty nice if it (frankly) didn't have all that **** on it.
Anyway, to each his own........but why?!

Isn't that wing the one that was on a thread here several months ago where some guy was selling them for $800 on ebay as "real momo wing", but then it turned out he was buying wings from JC Whitney (or similar) for $100 and buying momo stickers (on ebay, so we saw the paper trail) for $3.00 to put on them?
Although, if its a true track car, and not a street car, its not that bad, 'cept for the "R". Better have a cage in it though, or its WAY too rice.
EDIT: oops, just saw Pecksters post....he beat me to it
