TII Wing Fitment on an FB Thoughts

Hey guys, I'd like to get a wing to help the styling of my car. There is a TII wing for sale on my local CL and I'd like to go pick it up and slap it on my car... if it fits and looks at all decent. Here are some pics I found in a search of it on a TII







Now, the question is, would it look ridiculous? Take a lot of fabrication? Would it even fit??? The ad states that it is in one piece, so it would have to just bolt on after screwing some holes..

I know it would be a fab job no matter what, I'm just curious if it would even work. I've never even seen an FC or an FD in my life so I'm pretty inexperienced with them and their actual size compared to an FB. I'm interested due to the uniqueness it would bring as well. I googled a picture of an FB with a TII wing and it didn't come up at all, so it would be another unique thing I could add to my car, so long as it looks decent.

Thanks guys, flame away because it's just something I'm wondering!

looks very similar to the wing that's offered for fbs why not just go with that? not to certain upon this but im pretty sure fc's are a bit wider than fb's on the rear pretty sure a google search would clear it up, and anything is possible with money and the right fabrication skills

Antena is on the other side. It looks a bit odd with gaps and does not sit where it should just get one for a fb.

I had one on my FB a few years back, it is the correct width, but since the FB's body isn't flat on top like an FC there are gaps like Kaaarl12a said. It looked decent and I didn't pay much for it, but I've since gone to another spoiler...

^Mazdatrix used to sell that one I think.

I believe they were made by Wings West...
