89 vert+gt wing = rice????

I was wondering if I put a carbon fiber gt style spoiler on my 89 vert if it would look rice?

-basically I wanted a more aggressive look to my rear and some down force but I don’t want it to look rice.

- they also have a lower 5.5in but i think it is better to have it closet to roof height

thewing-
a JSP 56in x 10or5.5in carbonfiber wing from summit racing


the vert-

Dude why do you care so much about what other people think. Put the wing on if you want too.

^ Hmm that's kinda tight . Since your still looking for opinions, here's mine. The majority of the aftermarket wings serve no real purpose on the street because they really aren't designed to create down force. Most are more of a visual upgrade and should be treated as such. I would get the remote one since it is unique. Then again that's me.

i don't know, it wouldn't look too bad if you have other things to compliment it. a beautiful paint job, wide rims, exhaust, and power.

Dude, it's rice. Be it shrimp fried, beef fried, chicken fried, or plain white.

maybe if your car had a bodykit with some nice wheels then you would get a wing ..but that wing especially as high as the roof ...oh boy lets not talk about it...barf

just stick with the clean look until you do something else

oh...the wing would look ..how do you say that word HIDEOUS......

Still doesn't matter because it's a FWD...that mad downforce they need in the back because of all the Front Wheel Horsepower!

I wasn't talking about that photo shoped picture. I was talking about the pic with the remote adjustable wing on the rear wheel drive vert.

I think it looks nice. That's a nice style of wing and for the convertable trunk lid it'd fit nicely.

These purists are the kind of people that think if it doesn't add HP to the car then it's worthless.

Some things are all about style.

my definition of rice vs. style = Using the cheapest most mainstream way of making your ride "appear" to be something that it most obvious isn't. Putting spinner hubcaps on your car. Putting stickers on your car. Not vinyls; stickers. Placing said stickers on your tail lights and calling it "covers". Putting a hood scoop on your car that uses two sided tape.
