Which wing do you thinks looks best on 1st gen?
Hi again, finally got the money and was wondering everyone's idea of a good spoiler, I have reduced it down to these 4:
super style wing
racing wing
gtr style (or any other 3 piece) or
shogun style
im leaning toward supra style, but I want everyone take on it
Thanks

The Supra wing is the F-40 knockoff that stands two feet off of the deck and is rounded everywhere on its surfaces. Kinda like the metallic maroon 300ZX wannabe you see pop up in the lounge from time to time. The Shogun wing is that horrendous nonsense you see on an overkill ricer that has two elements, sags in the middle with clunky cover plates on the pedestals which are on the ends of the "airfoil" elements. The 3-piece wing is the kind you see on 4thgen GM F-bodies where the middle section of the wing is part of the hatch and goes up with the hatch when it's opened. I, too, have never seen a wing big enough in width to justify sectioning that didn't look like hell. The racing wing is the style seen on Saint's car and others with mid-mounted pedestals that try to mimic current actual GT racers like in the ALMS or BTTC. I don't have pictures for all of these categories 'cuz I'm at work, but that should help the people visualize the choices...

Supra style spoiler on a 1st gen? ewhh.. I feel sick .

Huh? That's a pretty stupid comparison lol. You buy headers etc because you want more power... the sound they emit is a bonus. What are big ugly wings good at? Slowing you down and adding weight?

i definatly agree with you on the overly large wings.. but a small wing/spoiler can actually help our car. at high speeds, you need something to promote down force, and sometimes opening the sunroof is just not enough.

my fiberglass SPOILER, NOT A WING BY GOD, is the 3piece kind i think fits the car nicely. functional and low profile. and i like the looks better then a plain teeny 1st gen ***. seems to give the car some character without standing out and smacking anyone or being ridiculous like a quadruple decker ricer wing.

The Yellow 3 peice you have shown is known as the Group 'C' rear wing and are actualy one peiece as far as I have seen in the past. These were used on the Touring cars used in OZ. isn't that car the HitMans??
I don't like the Supra style so much, although that is a very nice Sev, seen pics somewhere b4.
That racing style looks alright, don't know about the show gun style.
Here is a pic of our rear wing.
(ducks and hides from abuse). I like it, its different anyway. and it bloody works too, probably too well.
Oh, and from the front it doesn't look as high as it does from the rear, luckily.
