That appears to be a real wing, wings are not ricer, fake wings that aren't used are ricer. He added a larger front splitter like many here do, and equaled out his aero with the wing, like many here don't.

I wonder what the go-faster mods are. Auto gear selectors don't typically fit the 'fast as a ****' mold.
Hell of a lcd screen, too, but WOW what a location for it!

I've been waiting to see a vette with a wing like this (only other one was in the Car And Driver ultimate shootout on a blue c5)
I actually like the combo of the chin spoiler and the wing...it looks mean

Truthfully, I dont mind the wing on that car, it adds a finishing touch with all the other mods, and it is in Japan, and I think its mandatory for every car to have a wing installed.
