He's getting there but I think he's hanging on to his Civic days a bit to much.

the wing is functional my friend. That isn't any APC Pep Boys wing it's an ARC wing, meant to provide downforce at speeds most of us probably have never experienced.

I do agree about all the red hoses everywhere though, but those guys over in JDM land have their own style.
