With that front end, wing yes, and sideskirts too, otherwise, it won't look right.

Damn, your car looks awesome Johnathan.

I say "no wing". Just because I'm not into wings. But on your car a wing would look pretty good.

I don't know it would look good with or without it. If you plan to get a wing, get something OEM like the R1 or 99 spec or similar. If you decide to go with others, in my opinion it will make your car look overdone. BTW, great car mang!

I don't really like the look of no wing at all. I think just the stock R1 wing would look good, but the feed CF wing would look better if you want to spend that much.

Looks like you forgot to paint the hood? I'm voting for no wing as well, although I think it'd look just as nice with a mild low one.

Another vote for no wing here, makes the car look sleeker with uninterrupted lines.

The paint and wheels look excellent.

The black hood makes it look ridiculous. That is simply a trend I don't understand. Black hood cars are always Neons, Civics and Sentras. It just isn't right on a real car.

The side skirts are also totally wrong on the beautifully sculpted sides of the FD, but if you like them, no problem.

A rear wing is merely a fashion accessory, so if you find one you like then get it. Just please, paint the hood and maybe paint the gerbil cage mesh black too.
