"Drift wing" on an FB is just totally wrong, in my opinion. That said, it's not my car, so my opinion doesn't matter. Now, a wrap around lip spoiler looks ok, and I might consider one for my car, but again, that is my opinion, which is what matters as far as my car is concerned.
Lots of people do things to their cars, which I would never do. They like it, and that is what matters. My neighbor has a honda 4dr civic, with a huge ugly wing. He likes it. Of course, he also has complimented me on my car. Taste in mods is a personal thing, and makes us the individuals that we are.

A Doctor's waiting rooms can give me interesting ideas ideas.
What about the rear wrap around spoiler and then a small wing above the spoiler? Yes, sounds dumb, but I was looking at the Mazdaspeed RX8 wing, and it mounts above the factory "spoiler". Which I just call a brake light housing.
In any case if it wasn't so curvy and fit the lines of the Fb it could possibly go well.
On second thought it could have been the morphine. But I thought it looked cool on a red RX8 I saw driving by the other day.

Man, everybody keeps saying that a 7 won't go fast enough for those big wings to do anything, but you guys have it backwards....
A small spoiler will not accomplish much until you reach higher speeds, but a large wing will come into play at lower speeds due to the greater surface area. A "slower" car will actually require a larger wing to achieve the downforce needed for greater stability and faster cornering. The slower the speed, the bigger the wing.
I'm not saying they look good, but as far as function goes, well that's another matter. If you want to receive the benefits of downforce while going at the slower speeds of an RX7 then you really will need a larger wing.
Right now, I have the factory wrap around model. But when my car is ready to hit the track (road coarse) then I will probably be looking into a larger wing. Hopefully I can come up with a quick release mount for it so that I don't have to "look" like a ricer full time....
