I retract my previous statement, the quality and presentation of the photographs are very good.

Loving the photos dude! You never fail to impress.


Here is a video I found of the wing in action on a different GT-R

I'm curious as to how much more functional this wing is to the conventional design.

love it. don't mind driving this at all.

given the gtr outrageous performance, the wing is just fine on it. i only have problem with civic or sh1t car with a big wing.

photo and color are beautiful.

That wing is like 13k or something. Previous national Street Mod Champion used it on his M3. Its a serious peice.

I dunno, I don't have a problem with the wing so much...why?
Because it's really ugly. So clearly it's not there to make the car look better. But it is completely functional (or so I would assume...I mean the wing moves...I'm not sure how it moves, but I assume various sensors) so it should be useful. I mean the car's bloody fast, the weight distribution is apparently great, it seems like a racecar to me?

Apparently this wing moves based on need especially while taking turns. Imagine sprint car but taking left and right turns, so it adjusts accordingly.

Functional? Hell yeah!

Street use? I cant imagine, but my imagination is not very good.

Before I say rice I better make sure it wont leave me in the dust.

Photos are very nice though! As expected from 1013!

Nice shots! I love the color. I love the wing too. I'm not a fan of wings, but with the GTR and its sharp lines, it is required. A GTR without a wing is like Kim Kardashian without her boobs or ass. It just wouldn't look right.

I like it. It's just different culture to the matte black and AW we see here on the boards.
