Re: Why do this to your truck ...LOL

don't these guys know that they are creating more drag than downforce with these crazy wings? Reminds me of the kids movie "cars" when the ricers drive up behind "Mack". One has a wing with five or six levels to it!!!!

Maybe he's just hauling it home for a buddy with a ricer?

If you take off the wing and taillight covers the truck looks exactly like the SLED trucks used in columbia, SC (I can't remember what it stands for, but it's a division of the police department). White ex cab, blacked out wheels, black brush guard and fender flares...

I guess it gives him added downforce traction in the mud!

Re: Why do this to your truck ...LOL

Sillyness. Here in central texas I see that crap ALL the time. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are 'some' ricers that actually do more than put a fart tube and miss-matched body panels on. But, the majority of these things are comical(including trucks with wings)

Re: Why do this to your truck ...LOL

My rule is if a modification to your truck only requires you drill a few holes and bolt something on, its probably not cool. That sweet wing proves my point!

Re: Why do this to your truck ...LOL

Perfectly good waste of a Z71, even my college age son laughs about the ricer "wings", down force on a front wheel drive car.....now that's gonna add traction.

All he needs now is some neon and a bunch of stickers (doesn't matter if the parts are actually installed) and he could add another 100hp easy.
