I voted for the wing personally.. As well as my new desktop... I think w/ all that going on as far as vents, something needs to be on the back/top to balance it out.. I think even a molded spoiler would look REALLY good..

Your car is nice.

I personally like the look of a naked rear end...

Ultimately, it's your car. But I like it better without

I'm a fan of wings, and I vote wingless.

Why?

#1. Because it is the only true aero piece you have. If you had a front splitter and a rear diffuser, the wing would look more in place.

#2. The pictures may be a bit misleading, but the wing seems mismatched to your car. The paint job doesn't seem to match. Again, this is judging from the two pictures you put up. Also, the mounts... are not typical of this kind of wing. The aoa is very agressive.


Your hp figure along would justify the wing, but only if you balance out the aero. Too much downforce on either end can be a liability.

Would you get heart attacked by seeing these pix?




It's not about downforce @ 200+ mph in the movie clips, it's all about personal preference.
