1st, i thought you were selling your car??

2nd, are you ever planning on going 99 spec front?

3rd, if you say yes to 2, then keep the wing IMO..if not, lose the wing..

4th, i love your avatar

I bought the 99 spec spoiler, painted it, and then test fitted it. After all that I didn't like it. It's too much IMO. I like wingless or 93-95 stock wing. Just my 2 cents...
I should have listened to myself along time ago when I thought "that's money better spent under the hood."

Wingless looks better, but the 99 wing actually provides real downforce and is adjustable. A nice item for serious track use. For street driving, definitely wingless.

the only thing I would ever do besides going wingless, is im getting the carbon fiber re taillight covers that give it a bit of lip. Other than that I think wings do not complement the lines of the car at all.Heres my car wingless, and front bumperless

I have the 99 spec wing myself and test fitted it and didnt like it at all. It looks great from the side view, but doesnt look so good in the rear and front view. IMO

I'm the exact opposite, I like how it looks from the front and straight rear, but from any side or rear 3/4 angles, it looks tacky to me. It doesn't help that all the ricers are running cheap knock-off wings that look almost exactly like the 99 wing...

Actually front isnt that bad, but the back view just bothers me b/c it looks too small. I had the racing beat wing type 2 also and it looks much better front and back IMO, but I ended up selling that too.

I don't even really like the 93 wing. The tail lights are the best feature of this car's design, and most wings take away from it. I'd like the '99 a little better if there was curvature to match the tail lights... The FEED wing does this, but i'm not sure how functional it is, so I didn't get it.
