Not too bad or outrageous, unlike some of those silly Honda kits. I am not feelin' the rear wing mounted to the hatch though. Why is it we put rear wings on front wheel drove cars again? Other than the fact that it would look even sillier on the front?

Ya the rear wing is a little much. It's not placed in a good location either. Rear wings are good on any car that reachs high speeds. It keeps the rear tires planted to the ground in conners. Front or rear wheel drive can take advantage of a rear wing. If you have a large rear wing you should also have a front air dam or something that helps force the front of the car down also or just having a large wing can cause the car not to handle correctly at high speeds.

I have been up to 85 or 90 (mph by the way) briefly while passing. No problem. The Mrs. was totally unaware, no drama or unstability. There are no long, empty roads nearby to go for a high speed run safely for 300 miles.Perhaps Montana residents can benefit from more down force but for the rest of us the money would be better spent at West Covina and just lowering the car to take avantage of it's natural abilities to create downforce. Keep it clean and stealthy, not loud and flashy. Without back to back testing in a wind tunnel it seems all cosmetic to me.

(removed)!...The wing is at the right height to be used as a fish-filleting table. What do you think Carl.

Not to flame anyone or anything, but even if they made this particular kit for the vibe, it would be retarted. That said, I wonder if I could buy that wing separately - If I am ever carrying some really long lumber out of the back hatch window, mebbe I could use the "table" to hold the weight off the surround. Good looks and utility - how can you folks not like that wing?

HAHA yes, see it is retarded. I say this because of the crappy fiberglass/plastic fins that stick to the bottom of the bumper and dont really go with the car. It just looks like some cheesy ricer add-on. And that wing is useless, how much air can it grab being behind the car...If it is just for looks than its just as retarded as the lawn mower handles found on civics....

So, is someone making a body kit for the Vibe?? Or a RA hood? The wing on the back is not my style, either. But, to each their own.
