Red face vortex generator

i know that the vortex generator wont help me go any faster or anything like that or reduce the wind of whatever because i dont have an evo wing.. BUT i like the look of it and want to put one on my black 04 oz.. not to look like an evo.

i was wondering if anyone has pics of one on their cars?? or what they think of having one on?? and if the FAKE CF one would look anygood or should i just go with the black one if i got one..

I kinda like the style but i dunno if it would look good in an 02-03, but they look pretty nice in 04's.

Here's a pic of mine. I left it black because it contrasts the orange and matches the car's black trim. I've actually seen some fake CF that looks really close to real cf, but I'd still go with black since fake cf usually fades and gets ugly after a while.

unless you have other carbonfiber parts i think it would look kind of out of place. so yea go with the black. i have one on my yellow 03 and it looks good with the black trim and my black rims. i usaly say no to ebay knock offs, but i got mine on there for $60 shipped and it fit great!

should i get the Rexpeeds 89$ ones?? but those are painted to match the EVOs so it wont be a PERFECT match but he said very close and barely noticable.. or should i get the 50$ one from SocalEs and leave it ABS plastic or have it painted ...!

and thanks for the pict OZLancer1 looks awesome
