95-96 Eclipse vs. 97-99 Eclipse, Wings, Bumpers, What do you think?

As most of you know there were slight changes between 96 and 96 in the Eclipses. The most noticeable are the new front and rear bumpers as well as the addition of a turbo wing to the turboed cars.

I am curious to know what you guys think about the turbo wings. I have a 95' GST it has the smaller wing... which I somewhat enjoy, the common person doesn't know you have a turbo, its funny to smoke Hondas etc... However sometimes I wish I had the big wing, for looks. Its a half and half deal I guess.

What do you guys think, the big wing or the small one? Which do you have?

I like the look 97-99 eclipses the best. The high wing just looks sportier to me.

97 beats us smileys down in the looks department.

still, the smileys have to band together.

it will fit, but i am not sure if you have to modify anything to get it to. ive seen a turbo wing on the spyders and it looks good, but imo its not for them. i think the that low charcoal color wing that is being passed of as the rdora would look good on a spyder.

The 97+ body kits ownz the 95-96 we all know that.

But I personally like the tame clean look of the 95-96 wing over the high 97+.

I personally like the turbo wing... The smaller one just isn't as sporty looking to me... The bigger one is a little more eye catching I think! Just my opinion...
