which wing on a 2nd gen

I would like to ask your help in which wing should I install on my black S5 TII. Currently I have no wing on my car because my stock S5 TII wing is broken. In my garage I have the broken S5 TII wing, a stock Mazda sport wing and an ERC wing which looks like the erebuni wing but is shorter and a little different. I am also thinking of getting the RE Amemiya type I wing or the KSP engineering wing. Please let me know what you think. Should I stay wingless or get another Stock S5 wing? Which one should look ok with my Feed front lip that is currently on my car?
Thanks

S5 wing is the only good looking one, theres one more, I forget the name of it, its sort of boxy and attaches to both sides of the car but not the center, hard to explain, but that one doesn't look as good. With such a small space to work with for a wing, its hard to make a good one, only the verts have good wing options because they actually have a trunk to put it on.

I have the wing you are talking about. Its in my garage. Its the ERC and it goes on the side of the car. A lot of Australian members have it. I think its made by a company called Mazsport or something there. A lot of people mold it to the body...

I can tell you which wing not to put on your car....

This is how my car came:





PLEASE do not do something like that to your car. Mine is already off the car now and going on the back of a tractor/backhoe. Ebay even...

Same with the rims, they are the wrong size/offset, rub etc...

But I bought it for the interior all clean and functional, and the engine is in pretty good shape. He also had the stock wing still, so i will be throwing that sucker back on there!

Don't worry, its being Repainted/new rims etc. I definately don't like its looks right now

Not to hijack your thread, just showing what wings look bad on fc's. (Looks bad to me anyways...)

I do not like aluminum wings on an street driven FC. I think they belong only to race cars.
