I would leave it off. The car definitly looks better. Nice garage BTW. Wht type of paint did you use to do the floor. It looks durable. I plan on re-doing mine.
 
Just ditch THAT wing but go with one a little less overkill in my opinion if your keeping the kit. I would personally go with some stock bumpers, ditch the altezzas, a smaller wing and wrap the rubber around a little less shine(or get the lips sprayed). That is just me though.
 
Dude this is an ebay wing its not going to help me much at high speeds:rolleyes: Its just made too be for looks not downforce:toobad:

Sorry about that comment, didn't mean to be rude.

Your ebay wing is mounted high, has a steep angle of attack, and is fairly large in surface area. It has a lot more downforce built into it than a turbo oem wing (97+). If your not cruising at high speed or pulling high speed corners then you probably don't need it.

I wouldn't mind slapping on a similar type wing on my 97 GSX just to increase the high speed stability, but at 35 years old I don't think I could take the embarassment:D
 
honestly, if you got some higher stands, and different end plates, it woudl not only be functional, but look better
i had this one on my car for highway runs around tokyo. there was a HUGE noticeable difference in handling around high speed turns from not having one.

I LOL'd really loud when i saw that exhaust on that car ^^

But i like it with out, Imo i would get a different rear bumper. Yours looks like its taking a shat.
 
I think you should put the wing on just to mess with people. I love it when people say "ha ha look at that ricer" and then you take off and their jaw hits the floor. It looks like you're car is very nicely done from your mod list and very capable of backing up the look it has. I say its badass and if it were mine I'd probably rock the wing and the neons just to show people what's really goin on. You're car is most likely nicer and faster than 95% of the cars you run into.

If it had the adjustments and you took it out to the track I would leave it on. If it is your daily driver and no track time go with oem.

The only track this car will ever see is a drag strip...And i don't even have my license yet so high speed driving ain't going to happen anytime soon:D
 
Most of the time i HATE aluminum wings and MOST body kits. But in this case its an acception your car looks awsome. I actually think i like it better with the wing, it flows better with your car.
 
If your going to keep that wing, go wingless. If your going to update the wing, or put something that flows with the car better than put it back on. It looks just fine with it off, the current wing reminds me of a shopping cart, it just doesn't flow with the body as well as it could. Maybe something with a wider lower stance.

In either way, it's your car, and you can do whatever you like with it regardless of what others think, let us know what you decide to do.
 
Im leaning towards leaving it wing less but, I do think a smaller lower wing might look good i just cant seen to find one that looks good(any suggests?). Plus i must say when i went to pull it out of the garage it was nice not having to stick my head out the window to see behind me LOL And before anybody says anything i suck at using mirrors to back up, I have to turn around and look :thumb:
 
id say burn that wing, and get an OEM CF hood. that one looks wierd from the side. there is a wing on ebay thats pretty low not sure if it looks good or not on the car its called the wangan or some shiz like that. i think it might look okay.
