What do you think (spoiler or not?)

Well this is my 7. Pic taken last year in the summer. Its a little dirty but ye its all good. My question is concerning the wing. Id thougth about putting a stock wing on, or '99 one, but the wingless look is starting to grow on me. I dont know what to do. If I keep it wingless I know of some other "parts" to add to give it a more complete effect, but Ill post pics later on if I ever go that route. Im also installing Koni yellows with Eibach springs this Spring so it should sit lower. As for wheels anything 5 spoke should be good, maybe 18x10 in the back 17x9 in front (to be a little different . Whatcha think, keep it wingless?

i say get whatever you think looks best in your opinion. i prefer 7's with a wing, but you may not. some want a big spoiler, while others prefer something sleeker and subtle, like the stocker. its all up to you, do some research...there are a whole bunch of different options you can go. my brother has a montego blue just like yours with a racing beat spoiler. very close to stock, but just a little more edge to it.

so go wild and go with something you like for your car.

My opinion from experience. My first FD didn't have a wing and I didn't like it at first but one I lower it it grew on me very quick. When watching the car I never paid attention to how easy it was to clean that area untill I got my second FD which has a wing. I do hate to clean around that area since I have big hands. But it also depends on the color of the car. My first FD was silver and the second one is red, either of those color looks good without a spoiler. I say wait till you lower it put some tints on the windows and I bet you be happy. FD's are beautifull either way.

I say follow what hondasr4kids said, lower it and then see what it looks like. You might like it. If your still not satisfied with that, then add a wing. As for my opinion on which wing, i'd say 99 spec. Heres a few pics of a MB with 99 spec spoiler. RE Suzuki, hope you dont mind.

yeah but if you go with a 99 spec you have to go all the way. BTW that one looks clean as hell.

See thats nice (and really shiney) but it has the 99 front end. Im not sure how it would look with a 94 front end and a 99 wing, dont think Ive seen many of those. Ill take your guys advice and do the lowering and tint. If I'm still not satisfied Ill go for the wheels, which Ill do anyways down the road. Thanks for all the input.

IMO the feed is the best

This also looks nice...not sure who makes it though....it extends out more so than the re tailight covers

My opinion - no wing gives a more refined, subtle, and sophisticated look. It looks more like a streamlined Ferrari than a riced up Honda without a wing slapped on top of it. I think it also adds to the timelessness of the design. Just my opinion...

Take care,
Shad
