i bought a high rise ltw replica and I'm having it color matched estoril blue. Im having second thoughts on whether it will look rice or not.... What do you think? Heres a photoshop that i had chopped before i bought the wing...

I had the line on the top of the riser smoothed out so that the wing is officially a 2 piece spoiler

obviously far from done, but you can see where i smoothed over the holes for attaching the riser to the top piece

MrBenz 02-25-2008, 08:09 PM are there two different wings, a LTW Wing and a High Rise LTW Wing?

There are Low Rise and High Rise wings. The High Rise = Low Rise + "Risers" in between the flat piece and actual wing

haha it was strange sarcasm since you quoted a pic of a low rise one.. So i guess youre happy with your high rise so far? replica right?
BavarianDave 02-25-2008, 10:27 PM on my 318i with sport springs and koseis it'd look like rice but on your estoril m3 with that drop and wheels, it looks sechs

with the right mods (which you have) I think it will look perfect.

keep the wing...looks awesome
havent installed it yet. the pic is a photoshop recreation of how it might look when i do install it.
beengel 02-26-2008, 08:32 AM it's not doing it for me...kinda suby looking, but odd with the short trunk. maybe if it angled back a bit more, don't know, I think the reg ltw wing looks okay.
Rated///M 02-26-2008, 05:39 PM its been primered, and i had the non functional holes (where top 2 pieces are held by bolts) smoothed over!
BeastinM3 02-26-2008, 05:40 PM Just do it!
raceMpower95 02-26-2008, 10:22 PM Looks good. A nice front lip will really compliment it too.
Here's mine (black roof coming soon!):

Looks good, who makes your wing?
Wheels5550 02-26-2008, 11:12 PM i like it, but so much for your rear view.
sogood 02-27-2008, 12:06 AM i like it, but so much for your rear view.
it actually doesnt really hinder it that much, its high enough that you can see through the wing for the most part

Ollie1662 02-27-2008, 12:13 AM I'm getting one for my avus along with some other parts to help pull off the look. Make sure you post pics when you're done. I like what youre doing to it..
///Ficarra 02-27-2008, 12:34 AM FTW for sure. :)
seeyalaterrr 02-29-2008, 12:00 AM Rice Rice baby.
:rofl at looking up chris's post from a thread just to prove nothing
Acorn 02-29-2008, 04:52 PM Rice.
I really don't like the dual layer wings all that much, so even low rise= rice for me.
Please don't flame me for that, he asked for opinions, so I gave him mine and justified it.
Rated///M 03-20-2008, 01:18 AM bought it, painted it, installed it! done deal.
Harv328is 03-25-2008, 01:07 PM I saw one of those on a Z24 yesterday.
ViniZaoD 03-26-2008, 09:04 AM It's not a double stack, and it's not obnoxiously high.
Not rice at all. Just a nice mod. Enjoy the downforce.
tEckniks 04-25-2008, 04:03 AM if you ever EVER want to sell the high rise wing.. let me know first ASAP!! please :)
Gatsby740il 04-25-2008, 12:00 PM I give up... WHY is this in the Chop Shop? :confused
