I'm running Time Attack this season....of course I have supporting mods. Besides that, define what you think "supporting mods" are for a wing?

i was talking more about body mods.
if you dont have a widebody or fender flares that spoilers gonna look pretty out of place because its really wide. lol

I plan on running 18x9.5 wheels going to need fender flares for that. Nonetheless, I would rather look a little weird for having a wide wing for the sake of safety traveling 140+ mph on the straights on some of the TA tracks.

18x9.5 fits perfectly fine on a tC..without fender flares. For your sake, I hope you kick some butt cause if you don't, people may think there's wayyyy too many items that may be more for visual appearance than actually benefiting you.

That wing is going to look super rice with a moderately stock looking car. Better hope your car looks a bit like Rado's or full of mods, or its just going to look goofy.

Sure will fit perfectly on street tires maybe. But a set of 255 wide race tires are not the same as 255 wide street tires. I'm probably going to run modified next season, so have to plan ahead.

As far as what people "think", that's not a concern of mine either. The local thought I was a push-over when I bought a Scion. Then when I turboed it, they wanted to test me. Word started to get around that you don't mess with the black tC with the Carbon Fiber front end...lets just leave it at that.

I could make my car pink and no one would mess with me....lol. When you keep up and beat other cars pushing 400whp...you tend to gain respect.

I've been boosted for close to 3 years guys, I'm not a noob at this. Maybe most of you don't know me because I don't come out of the forced induction section EVER....lol. But I made most of my presence known for the some odd 40 vids racing on my Youtube page.

http://www.youtube.com/user/rhythmnsmoke

But they are primarily street races. I'm converting over to the track only races now though, which is why my latest vids are that of AutoXing.

If you guys don't know what the PTuning turbo kit looks like you should check it out, cause that's my next kit.

I don't think people know that you're actually going to make use out of the wing.

lol @ people giving rhythmnsmoke a hard time. I've lurked many times in the FI section, so i've seen your posts man. GL with the season, can't wait to watch the vids.

Good to see someone taking the tc to this level with no huge sponsorships.

Yeah, can't fault them though. They aren't use to that in these parts I guess.

Thanks man. Yeah it's a long road, but I'm trying to make the best out of it. If I keep scoring good deals like I did with the wing, shouldn't be to difficult to make a nice showing at the track.

I'm going to do my best to keep the rubber side down.

Thank you for your input. I didn't realize Time Attack was a Fast and Furious movie.
