Any examples of 86/BRZ/FRS cars with acceptable aftermarket spoilers/wings? I've been afraid to buy a non-stock spoiler because my car will immediately become rice, apparently.

You should know by now that question is unanswerable. For each that likes something there will be one that thinks it sucks. Buy whatever you want and put it on. Just don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder looking for a fight with people that don't like it. Seems far too often sombody with big wings (or hellaflush) do what they want and then actively search out people that will say something against it just so they can be all self righteous and indignant.

It just depends on what the goal is. Looking good? then go nuts.

No one piece of mod will make you rice or not. It's just the attitude. For example the guy who thinks hes getting more downforce when his wing is attached only to his trunk.... Or the guy who thinks getting spacers and tons of negative camber makes him corner better.

To me, the dudes (or girls) who accept that their mods are purely for show and goes wayyy over the top is less of a ricer than the guy with a stock frs/brz and a bunch of aero that his car literally cant go fast enough to use slash has never even seen a circuit.

I've met a guy at a meet once with a FULL tracked out miata.. I'm talking the works big wing, aero, supercharger, suspension, full exhaust no cats the thing was barely street legal

TOld me he had spent upwards of $15,000 on his car. When I asked him what the last track event he had done was and if he had ever gone to CSCS he said hes not planing on ever bringign "his baby" to that dangerous place and had no idea about any local competitions.... RICE

That story is why I'm not too down for meets anymore..

I personally think the SARD style is respectably modest. I like it, but I wish it was just a bit lower, like half the height.

Looks fine to me too that is why I asked if something was hidden.

Parts you actually have on the car then stickers on car (if that is your thing) or wherever you want.
Stickers for parts you don't own then why the hell do you have the stickers much less put them on the car?

I know. JK

I earned my stickers!! lol I'm not a huge fan though, car or box. Maybe I'll give them to my Grandson.

Firestorm is the same exact color as my red Craftsman toolbox, which came with a big sticker. I've been debating which one to put it on since I got the toolbox lol.

It is not my car. I just wanted to know what members think about installing Valenti tail lights. This particular type is growing on me, I might buy it for my whiteout FRS. BTW, I have no stickers on my car
