WTB: Wing Opinions for GP Sports Kit

Hello. I recently put the GP Sports kit on my car and after doing so my current wing (larger stock wing by RE-Amemiya) doesnt look too hot. I would like to hear some opinions of what you guys think would work with this kit. I am trying to get something different before the car goes to the paint shop in a few weeks.

Here is a Picture of the GP Sports kit painted on the Nitrous Express car:



Here is the bumper unpainted on my car with the old wing (looks pretty funky):



And Now Some of the wings I have been thinking might look good:


Racing Beat Type 2 on teamafx's car ^^^


99 Spec on Jose's car ^^^


Feed on LT1-7's car^^^


Knightsports on this guys car^^^


Wingless or with tailight cover on LT1-7's car^^^

So What do you guys think. Is there any wing that would look good on the GP Sports besides an adjustable spoiler? Also is there any that you guys think might look good that I've missed? I am just real bad at visualizing how stuff will look painted on other cars and would like help deciding. Thanks.

Steve

Isn't this the Panspeed wing?


I kinda like that one, since it's slightly agressive, but still follows the idea of the 99-spec (and is adjustable, unlike the RB type 2/Mazdaspd).
hard to say for sure, though :P

Oh yea, panspeed my bad.

Your right it is kind of a cross between the function of the 99 spec and the more agressiveness of the RB2/MS wing.

Actually it looks pretty sweet with the Panspeed spoiler. Extreme bodykits usually require extreme spoilers. So no GT style spoilers?

Top Fuel's looks more drastic to me.

I dont really want a gt style wing because I daily drive this car for about 4 months in the summer. Although I like the look on race cars and such, mine is pretty much street only.

Maybe wingless is the way to go.

I'd vote for the Racing beat type 2, or the 99 spec. since you don't want a GT style

The rims on the rx7 on top look more like the 20inch 5zigens in hyper black. Good luck.

Well, seeing that you don't want a gt-style wing, I think wingless or the pan speed look awesome. Personally I would go with the GP Sports Chokets wing...or Pan Speed

I've got a GP Chokets wing, very nearly as light as the C-west, nearly as good quality...but less than half the price! only gripe is the end plates are plastic not sheet carbon fibre as the C-west are (VERY easy to cut some carbon ones though, and it looks cool without anyway) and theres a slight 'tide' mark in the laquer in one place which will buff out im sure!
