    Default Need opinions on getting a wing...

    OK, so to go with the rest of my crazy ass car, im looking into getting a wing. I know its not completely functional, but i have the 01+ LS big side skirts (not the one on the car in my sig..they are much bigger then those), the GV nose and i just think the back needs something to go with the rest of the aggressiveness. So i have looked all over the place for something i like and thats a little different then the typical ricer GT wing... here is what i have found.

    1) This is the one im liking so far. Its got a nice style wing and the sides are cool and different.



    2) Tis one has a cool "flare" on the trailing edge of the wing which i like, the uprights are not typical of most others and the sides are on the small side.



    3) I like this one because it sits low and far back.



    4)another one that sits low and far back

    I say no. Unless it's about 2 feet taller then go for it.

    I would say 3, since is sitting kinda low and it's not one of those F&F huge wing's like # 1 and 2. But than again, wingless is the best.

    Mike your car looks fine as is.

    Pics of wings on Miata's would help a lot.

    I think a wing is only going to "add" to your car if you run a hard top. open top is gonna look weird I think.

    When it comes to GT wings the rule is: Taller than the roof, wider than the mirrors.

    I vote for the lovely side skirts and a rear bottom lip thingy to make the car look lower but no wing... you knew that though.

    I saw one that I wanted to tell you today, try looking at wings for Audi TT's. I got behind one with a niiiice wing on it... but it was painted, not CF. But it was smaller, rounder and with close posts like you need.

    (ps, I have those pics of the wing at R Speed)

    a wing without a hardtop looks teh gay. a small lip is the only thing that looks right with the top down. sometimes you can pull off the Wangan style as well, but nothing that sticks up or out too far.
