would this be cool?

[cubstiva1]

if i did the necessary metal (and wiring) work would this be cool? would any body else want this on their car? it was just a thought i had at work today. threw this pic together in 'paint', so its not the best.

[collegeboi]

my opinion it looks stupid but hey up 2 u :p

[FB71]

[25Horseplay]

Maybe you should try this

[FB71]

ok, that's actually kinda cool...

What's with the wing? Im sorry, but, WHY would you do that to a festiva, or any car for that matter? and even if you could get up the speed for some downforce (150mph or so) the 1/4" sheetmetal screws that hold it on the roof would let loose. also , rear downforce --- FWD whats the point.

even on FWD cars, you need rear downforce in some situation to add traction. But I agree, I just don't care for those wings. And you're correct about mounting them with #10 screws into sheetmetal!

[tbird302v8]

I agree with you about the rear downforce thing, but in this instance, be it far-fetched, you would only need it for turning, and I dare say, you wont be turning a Festiva at 150mph..

[FB71]

you wont be turning a Festiva at 150mph..

not yet.... :twisted:

[cubstiva1]

not the wing, just the lights. i took the photo of someone else's car out of the albums

I still wanna put a sharkfin on my roof. Increased lateral stability and a higher spot to mount my aerial communications array.

Did I mention my "barrage balloon" project? Now I need to source some hydrogen to fill that up, along with my tires and few other empty spaces in the car. I figure I can get about a 200 to 400 pound weight savings by going "lighter than air."

Stay tuned for "Hindenburgstiva."

I'm gonna see if I can streamline a large bladder to mount on the roof and fill with hydrogen.

I'll fill the tires with hydrogen.

Some extra smaller bladders inside the car will be filled with it as well.

Seats will be air mattress type...filled with...you guessed it! "1H"

I'll replace the hood with a big old air mattress filled with hydrogen.

I wonder if carrying around 100 cubic feet or more of hydrogen will affect my insurance?

I AM a nonsmoker!

Cubstiva1, The idea of wider taillights is cool. I don't like the double width look, but maybe some other cars lights would work.
