It depends on the angle of the car... I tried it on my car after I ditch the shopping cart handle, and didn't like it at all.. so went with a stock wing. FC's have no trunk line at all and it looks like something is missing...But once in a while I see a non-wing'd FC and its okay. You do what YOU want and don't listen to my .02 Everyones got there own thing....

The red car at the top of this page ( Alf's old car ) looked okay, but before he parted it out he was going to install an aluminum wing of some sort...

I have no wing, and wouldn't ever want to put one on my car. IMO wings are ugly. They just look so, "I just slaped this piece of plastic to my car."

just my .02

Opinions make the world go 'round. I wouldn't own a FC without a wing. People put side skirts, air dams, hood scoops, etc on them, and I think the stock wing looks great!

Should have made this a poll. I don't have a spoiler on mine, but i think they look best with the stock TII spoiler. Its not too big and gaudy.

I think it looks like the back end just drops off too quickly without the TII spoiler. The hatch is almost a straight diagonal downwards, and then there's that small area of metal and I just don't think it looks good without a spoiler.

Verts look better without a spoiler.

Coupes look better with a tasteful one like OEM.

Spoilers add weight and all except the large aluminum ones or Sport style are not aerodynamically functional.

A like FCs best with the stock, wrap around spoiler. Finishes off the tail end but doesn't look crazy unnecessary. Wingless is cool too, the only thing I dont like are aluminium or large funky wings.

BTW= Im selling my old Wings West Supra style wing if anyone is interested....

Well. the T2 spoiler is a nice touch. i like the ever so often Sport spoler as well. anything else is un-called for.

Doesn’t matter either way. I like the way mine looks without a spoiler and with a body colored hatch.

Unless what you have is broken; Why waste time on stuff like Aero-mirrors, rear spoilers, S5 front ends, and S5 taillights?

Just stick with that you have and spend your time and money on something useful like BBS Wheels, an aluminum hood, tires, coilovers… etc…

I completely agree.

It's funny because I finally own a RWD and I don't even consider slapping a wing on it, even if OEM.

I like it better without.

O.E.M. Wing > GOOD
Ricer Wing > BAD

WTF, I posted a ic of my car and it didn't work, I HATE THESE SERVERS SOMETIMES. Anyone it gives it a sleek, sleeper look, but if I had an oem wing on my car I'd leave it their, infortunetly the previous owner removed it.
