i decided to finish off the back, and want to do a cf trunk and this wing (sti s202 cf REPLICA so technically wouldn't be rice) it's just impossible to find a similiar wing and in this quality. Neways need opinions thnx :) But i might just get it anyways lol...

I actually think it would look pretty nice on your car. Being that you got the Carbon Fiber Hood, and soon to have Carbon Fiber trunk. I personally don't like the Aluminum look, but Carbon Fiber is pretty darn nice. I say go for it. (2thumbs)
hmm imo, if u get a cf trunk, leave it empty. from a practial way of looking at it, u put a wing on it, im almost certain ull crack the cf on the trunk because of the downforce/pressure on the wing. that is a nice wing imo though, its nice and suttle.

but i like how the stands of the wing are on the outside, like the rsx wings.
gl with your choice!

hm ya ur right, i guess i'll have to decide between them.
ya i really like those APR wings but its just too big, it works fine for sti's, evos but i'm a protege, it kinda clashes and ppl think rice automatically. I just want something different, looks nice and functional.
edit: dam ya thts pretty nice but alittle too aggressive? lol yes i'm picky... :P

i would leave the stock spoiler on it and then think of some type of paint scheme to have it all flow with the cf and spicy orange

Just because it is stock on another car doesn't mean it won't be rice on yours.

I like it. I have seen quite a few cf trunks on different proteges and I say stay away. The rest is hot though. Perhaps a little on the rice side with the non stock wing, but that would be the only nonstocker I would choose.

IMHO, you've got one of the nicest Proteges around. Don't mess it up with a football bleacher. JDM or not. (bow)

screw that man.. there is honestly nothing with a little "rice". I mean lets be real here.. these are JAPANESE cars. Rice is the foundation of them :) Have some fun with it but make sure you got the horsepower and torque to back up the look. All Sho no Go - Rice.

altezzas belong on altezzas and s202 wings belong on the s202. it's a nice wing, but i'm not diggin it on the protege.
off topic, have you guys seen the new s203. wow.

I say you leave your stock Trunk or get a CF one and paint it, and get a lip rear spoiler, like the IS300's have :D. Your ride is clean, keep it looking that way!

I think it would look nice.
I found this today on cirucit sports web site, and it was the only MSP i have seen with an aftermarket rear wing other than the wings west. Looks similar to what you are trying to accomplish... I kinda like it. And I applaude your effort to be different, yet remain as tasteful and non-ricey as possible.

i still think you should get the cf trunk keep the stock wing and get some type of paint scheme or design thing on the trunk so it ties in the color and looks good

screw that man.. there is honestly nothing with a little "rice". I mean lets be real here..
where's the rice on my car?? :D, i think you meant "japan" cars though not sure..
you should put 300whp down... and then make your car look as rice as possible... and then blow people away

I live the evo wings as well... with the CF/painted look. I would say APR is the way to go though. The one you pictured would be better for a CF trunk as it would hide cracking, if any occured.

ok first...you have the most beautiful msp i have ever seen man...i worship you. x-nay on the wing though, not on that car. im not sure it would look 'ricey', but instead just cheap. a cheap car that looks like it's tryin' to fly away or something. it is yours though, i applaud the individualism. gl.

I have seen them as low as 150 dollars. And from what I read on the wrx forums they are really good quality.

imho, the protege looks sick w/o a wing when it is dropped and has a body kit, be it the OEM MSP/MP3/P5 kit or aftermarket. I plan on removing my wing when I find someone that wants to trade trunks or I find a trunk in good shape for cheap.
