IMO an aluminum wing on our car jus doesnt look right, there's only one car that i think pulled off that look and that was the sc in the fast and the furious which i believe there is a pic of in the sc gallery. as for your rims i like the one's u've picked but i'd go aftermarket. Nothing wrong w/ L-sport or anything but i still feel it has a factory look to it. but then again i'm sure there plenty of people out there on this forum that have way different views.

I'm with 'ForNgoods' on this one.
The purple car from F&F has a 'full package' to go with the wing.
IMO radical aftermarket wings need an aftermarket kit to even out the car.

Em, you know John Nguyen? I don't think there's ever a situation where an alum. GT-style wing looks good on an SC, it's like two worlds colliding, killin' the class, but not as bad as the jerkoff around here with the Saturn and the double-decker wing, I don't know how much longer I can keep myself from dragging him out of that car and kicking his teeth down his throat....

A GT wing looks bad, bad, bad on the SC. The SC is a curvacios car and a GT spoiler looks offensive to it's contour. Only if you have a 500rwhps+ SC would it be acceptable t osport (show + go). I'd try to see if the Supra wing fits, I've seen them (or a similar one) on JDM Soarers and it looks nice!

As for the L-Sportlines rims, they are top notch quality. Best of the best, but they are pricey. I believe the 18s are somewhere in the mid $3000 range. I especialy like the Model IV. You gotta go chrome or silver with a polished lip!
