I was talking about the ''double deck metal wings'' that look like something off a race car(but are not functional). Those do nothing but cause drag. The best way to create usuable down force on a car is to lower it to within an inch or lower of the ground and make the bottom of the car completly flat,(usually using carbon fiber) which in turn creates the opposite effect of a wing and literally sucks the car to the ground because of the of a negative pressure build up under the car. But thats not something for street driving, and neither are stupendiously large wings.
you dont need a wing on the front to make down force either, their are other ways to gain 'downforce' than 'wings'
They can express their individuality all they want, It serves no purpose and I reserve the right to voice my opionion on how I think its completly stupid. Other then being a waste of money and wanting to 'look' cool there is no reason to even think about installing one on a car. Especially a street car.
Anyways the wing/rice comment was in reference to some ones comment about larger body panels and extending the fenders to make the car look lower, which is the wrong way to do it. You want a low car, lower it using the correct parts. I.E altering suspension/wheels.
I know there are laws about cars needing to adhear to a certian ride height minimum, but I never hear about it being inforced.
