wing or no wing?

So I finnaly finished cleaning up my super advans and put them on today. I also put my fiero gt wing back on the car. The no wing clean look kinda grew on me. What do you guys think. Wing or no wing?

It doesn't really have the same linear style of the FC but perhaps if you keep it low and close to the rear hatch and bring it closer to the front of the car so that it doesn't overhand SO much it might work.

It is as far forward as it can go without interfeering with the hatch from opening.

No wing. Big fan of the tri spoke sa3 s.

Ultimately up to you though......go with which ever you prefer. Wing is definately different. I can respect that.

+1 no wing, and no decals, and maybe stock rear bumper.

Maybe a stock wing, not a big fan of your wing, it looks oldschool 80s

Thanks for the input guys.

as for the rear bumper. The main reason I have the wrap around is because it hids the little damage on the rear quarter panel. It was already there when I got it

****, I voted for the wing before I saw it. As the car sits, its not so good without the wing. Now, if you where to put an S5 TII spoiler on that would be a different story.

i vote no wing because that wing doesnt work but i think that with the ride height and wheel selection and other body mods that a sweet wangan wing would make that thing rock. look like classic freeway runner from nihon

Christ, that wing looks spectacular... have you got any shots from the rear with it mounted? If you end up going no wing, I'd be willing to buy it from you...
