I think the FD looks best with the stock spoiler on it, but some will disagree. I will admit it looks more agressive without it though.

I like the look of the stock spoiler over nothing.

You should make a poll...

I personally didnt like the stock wing that came with my R2, so i got the racing beat wing on order. If your really interested in the stock wing (really cheap), pm me.

99 spec

Hey, I have a 94 too. I think the 99 wing looks best. the 93-95 wing I think has little function. My bud has the 99 and it looks really good. About $1k bucks and you can order it to match your car. It will be pretty close unless your paint is shot.

Put one on my car. I bought the car with a late model Supra style wing on it. That had to go. The problem was that no shop would install it and it took five shops before I found one that would TRY to match the paint.

Leave it off. I put a r1 spoiler on mine and I wish I had left it be. I have a spare hatch though so I'm ok. I ran a poll on this about 6 months ago.
I'll bump it up for you.

To me it really depends on what else has been done to the exterior. Some wings just NEED a more aggressive front and/or sides to offset the look of the wing. Other additions look great without a wing on the FD.

It's really up to personal choice.

If I got a wing for my 94 it'd probably be a 99 spec one... I don't care much for the stock r1 wings. I like the way FD's look w/out spoilers from the side, but from the back and at an angle from the front I think they look better w/a spoiler.

I agree with jspecracer7 and rynberg. I think wingless FD's look friggin badass (especially black and white). Most of the people I talk to love my car without the wing, I think it shows off the lines better. But, I guess it just depends on your personal preference. I personally would not put a wing on there (but maybe I'm a little biased).

I like any spoiler that isn't gigantic or stacked with aluminum or cf.

I prefer no wing at all. It's just a waste of cash. Spend it on power upgrades.

it took me a while to find one without a rear spoiler, one worth buying anyway......i like it w/o the rear spoiler, but it does complete the look of those bling blingin body kits........they look good on some cars, but i would never put one on mine.....my .02

I wouldn't add a mod that increases drag and weight and doesn't do much (if anything) for performance. Besides, I like how the FD looks a lot better without a wing.

Kind of my opinion with aftermarket wheels. I have a hard time believing the hype. The stockers are so light and nice looking.

I've been torn for awhile. I am wing-less on the back. I bought the R1 front just to try for awhile and also got the brake ducts. I like the R1 rear spoiler from some angles, not from others. My car sure is a sleeper with the 'stock, wing-less look', especially in black. One day I'll drill the hatch and put my black R1 spoiler I have sitting in the garage...
