Pesonally, I don't like aluminum wings at all. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] However, it's your car, so feel free to modify it anyway you wish. As long as you like it, that's all that matters. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Whateva floats your boat I suppose..

All show and no go is usually the first thing I think of when I see one. I guess some of it depends on how the wing actually looks though. If done right it can be appealing..

fwiw

ALUMINUM WINGS ARE GAY!
ALTEEZAS ARE GAY!

my opinion!
since our cars are FWD you dont need a wing to keep the back end down...you'll be creating drag...
and will be ridin around like a f*g!!!! (j/k...that rhymed! )
its a waste of money...dosnt make the car look clean...spend the money on a HEADER or on a CAI.

my opinion...good luck!

the 200-300 you're going to lose on the wing can instead go to some nice rims or better tires than firestones if u still have them.

I think the alumminum wing ruins the look of the car. We have our civic and in our city there are so many wannabe's that have a civic and then they go and put this weird looking god awfull wing on and everybody laughs at them. My opinion don't do it

Im not big on the wings at all, a buddy of mine who runs a car parts store here sells them and we were talking about it the other day and he and I just laughed about it, because you get people like some of us that go and put allot of time and money into our cars looks and performance and then someone will come along and buy one of those wings and slap it on and think they are Fast and Furious ....

Just my $0.02

Later

Just because a car is FWD doesn't mean you don't need some downforce on the rear wheels.

That being said, aluminum wings, especiailly big ones look like crap on monchrome cars. Ruins the whole idea of the design.
