Talking OMG what a rice-mobile 951 (pics)

I've been installing a replica 968 Turbo S spoiler lately... it's still not perfect, but close enough - I'll sort out the little details later.

I think it looks pretty nice, most of my friends agree - and some just can't make up their mind. What do you think?

Love the color, the spoiler is eh. I don't think it looks really bad but it would look better without it.

Which setting do you like on the rear wing? Does the number 2 slot balance out the aero effect of the front splitter?

How much does it plant the back end in fast corners?

That car is pretty much my dream 951, accept for the wing. I can't make up my mind about it. I would have stayed OEM, but thats just me. Nice car.

Thanks for the comments guys

M758 - I really can't say much to that. At the moment the wing is set at one hole above flat level, which is the only setting I can do at the moment - the other holes don't line up. One of the things I need to fix. Now, please don't laugh at me - but I honestly believe the splitter and the wing make a difference at speeds past 150km/h, the splitter making up maybe 70% of the overall effect. At 200km/h, the car feels very stable; not that it was particularly bad before, it's just better now. Less than 100km/h, can't feel any sort of a difference. I'm most probably going to an open track event tomorrow, so we'll see if it has any effect on my lap times - but I'm not really counting on it, as the track is pretty slow-speed (I think my current average speed there is about 90km/h).

Anything done that is functional isn't rice... The big wings on the back of a WRC car are cool, the same bolted to the back of a neon (usually with sheet meatal screws) is rice.
