Question To wing or not to wing, that is the question...

Been in the game for quite some time, so i know the consensous, "its my car so its my decision". But im finding it hard to make that decision.

After having the R1 wing from the start of owning the car, i was getting board and wanted change. I decided i wanted to go with the Efini wing as it suited my taste best.
After installing it last year i am now having second thoughts on it. Im now thinking of going "wingless".....

Id like to get as many opinions on what they think suits the lines of the FD best! I am considering wingless now cause it seems to let the *** of the FD flow more smoothly. On the other hand the car does not look as agressive without having one.


****PS i need a few pics of simillar looking BB cars with No wing to compare*****

thanx
shawn

Here's mine prior to R1 winging it...


BTW: shameless plug but I have an unfinished 3-piece PFS fiberglass wing for super cheap if you want something a little different

personally i think the wingless look is better and cleaner that other wing kinda messes with the lines of the car.

I took the wing off on my car and liked it in some angles and did'nt like it in other angles, on a black car wingless looks good though, but the way my car is now with the wing looks better.

I think silver cars looks best without a wing.

The lines of the tail get lost on a black car.

But go ahead and go wingless and sell your wing to me!
