You can never please all, fearless dont even try. Fear of opinions paralyzes all initiative.

If there is one, can you explain the function of your rear spoiler? (I know u like it, thats all what is needed, its good that youre happy).

True statement. Only the foolish try to please others.

The main reason I went with the CF rear spoiler was to compliment the CF hood. This is "tolerable". As anyone here knows no company makes Cf parts with the 3rd gen in mind, so you have to find something you can tolerate and run with it. I wouldn't say that I am in love with it, but it isn't as gawd awful ugly as most here think it. It came with 5" tall risers and I made some billit 2.5" tall ones. I knew no one here would like it, doesn't matter. I also plan on some CF front canards..after I get some new rims.

y'know, knowing about the 2.5 risers makes it look kinda cool. can't say id put it on my car, but whatever.

all bull**** aside, i like your car. but like the spoiler, it wouldnt be the direction i'd go with my car(given the same budget you have spent.)
kudos on one unique car. one day, i hope to make a car look as nice as yours.

I was thinking you really use that rear wheel traction daily. With FW drive that means dangerous speed... also it must be creating lots drag , thus fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption is more of a result of a heavy foot.

Ben I would say appearance is all relative. I would guarantee there are many here, including me, who think your car looks very nice. That being said thank you for the kind words.

Mmmm yes, parked car seldom leaks... but your car racy looks demand it to be used as it looks... at least I am itching to get over 100mph ticket with it

My brains couple a big spoiler with owners lead foot. I Should I rewire my thinking?

Your car looks nice, its easy to give kind words. Having exceptional features and asking public opinions, one has to be prepared - like you were.

Your brain works just fine. Although I do occasionally press the go pedal harder than required, I do prefer to blend into traffic flow on most days. Sometimes the car is persistent in it's begging me to let it run free.

Wheels look real nice... Not a fan of the red though but to each his own. A stillen or erebuni lip kit would really set it off. Just my .02

Looks good though!!
