VA Wing it (FD)
To wing it or not to wing it; that is the question.

I've seen some pics of 7's with and without wings. It makes me wonder if I should remove my stock wing.

What's your opinion, we'd like to know:
A) No Wing
B) OEM Wing
C) Aftermarket Wing
D) Don't care

Post pics if you'd like

These pics were taken when I bought the car in 2004. It didn't have the OEM wing at the time. I had one installed shortly afterwards.

If its still stock bodied, I wouldn't go with anything more than OEM, or maybe a FEED wing. Wingless actually looks pretty nice though...your car, up to you.

MB, one of the few colors stock bodied that looks good without a wing. I say rock it without for a while..

But agree with above, if you go with anything..stick OEM

If you still have the stock exterior, anything more than oem or FEED type 2 etc would look out of place imo..

With a kit, wheels & a drop...A GT wing can look good

My first FD had an r1 spoiler... The one I have now is spoilerless and I LOVE it. I say keep it wingless.

This. I think the FD is one of few cars that can actually pull off a GT wing, given that the rest of the car is aggressive enough.

I personally like it wingless. I definately wouldn't get an oem wing....as I think they're fugly. But getting a gt wing on stock car looks ridiculous.

Do what looks good to you. If that's wingless right now try it out. I have to agree that a GT wing only looks good with the right mods, and looks horribly out of place on a stock car.

Racing Beat Type 2 wing works too. It's basically the stock wing except it actually helps with downforce. Search for pictures of Mahjik's cars
