What do you think of this wing?

Got really bored so wondering what you guys thought of this wing on a 5th gen.



I like the look of it on this 4th gen.




This is the original pic I modified for comparision. (love AE's.. knew I should've waited one more year!)





Suppose I should be doing something more constructive with my time... like finding a job!

It was 5 in the morning when I did this, maybe I need some coffee! Anyways, don't know why the pic isn't working (damn webphotos.com!)

Here's another one, hopefully this works:



Happy flaming!

The wing is too big, if it actually fit on the car without extending on the sides it may look pretty good.

You know...it's actually not THAT bad. It's not something I would put on my car, but it does look interesting. Does your car have the engine to back up such a large phalace?

I'm gonna say the same thing I said last time somebody wanted to slap a tanning bed on their car. And correct me if I'm wrong.

1) Unless the wing is at the level of the roof, it does jack sh*t.
2) If the wing exerts force downward on the back wheels, it also adds an upward force to the front, which no maxima owner wants because the maxima is FRONT WHEEL DRIVE!

it is eyecatching....and I do like it...it's just the RIGHT size..not too big and not too small (also what some women look for in a man ..lol)

its not so big that it looks ricey and not so small that it looks stock!!!

that's my 3 cents

The only wing, that I would consider upgrading to is that APC wing that was shown before...

With wings, anything other than stock is too much.

Wrong! It shows me where the rear-end of my car is when I'm backing up!

Yes, you are very right. And those are very good and valid points, but only if the maxima owner were concerned soley with speed. If people were to buy a car based on speed alone, then they definitely would not have bought a maxima for the same price. I'm sure a vast majority of the org bought the maxima for it's blend of performance AND style. Everybody's ratio (style/looks vs. performance ... wow, you're car looks nice! vs. wow, you're car is fast!) is different and what mods they choose for their car depends on that ratio. Sure, if I had a choice, I would love for all the mods that I bought to benefit the performance aspect of the car, but I'm not going to downgrade to 16" wheels as opposed to 18's just because I want my car to be that much faster. I don't take my car to the track every weekend, so it's not that important to me. I don't race on the streets all that much because one more speeding ticket and my license gets taken away.
It seems nearly everyone on the board has or will be upgrading to 18" wheels. I'm sure that kakipopo didn't buy his 20" chrome wheels so that his car would be faster, but you have to admit his car looks bad aZZ! And there are several other members that will vouch for that.
Bottom line is that the balance of performance and style is different for everyone. If that weren't the case then I think all of our cars would look the same.
This is not intended to be a flame, I'm just simply stating my opinion and reminding that everyone else has theirs, too. Thank you.

That is the most intelligent thing anyone has said in a long time. I think I need a larger wing.

I love the wing

The wing is hot and I love it, but it does not look right on the maxima. The stock one does it for me.
That black max with 20s is definitely in top 3 of all maxes i've ever seen.
