I like the Kaminari wing the best. It's not that big and matches the car very well. An aggressive look.

I think that most wings look ridiculous.. But, I do agree that the WW flush spoiler is the best looking.

I think the tsunami flush mount spoiler looks about the best other than the oem. It adds a little bit to the car, but still keeps it clean.

For purposes of performance, you are absolutely right. BUT I think many people on this forum would be lying if they said that their only purpose for putting certain parts on their cars are for performance only. Aesthetics and appearance is the other rational purpose. Catchin' second glances and long unadulterated stares is what it's about to some. As for my purpose, I put on a my wing cuz' it was FREE. Straight from my sister's '02 Celica GTS w. groundFX package. She didn't want the wing, so she gave it to me and biggity bam...painted and installed. Not bad for a factory listed $1200 spoiler. Complete with the led brake light. And I think it looks badass on my car. Hence, personal purpose. Now, those aluminum wings??? Therein lies little purpose.

I agree with the Kaminari KTRII w/ the cf blade. As far as wings go, that's about the only one I like.

Yes. It is only for aesthetics when it comes to low power FWD cars. When it comes to high horsepower FWD cars, a wing can improve driveability but not as much as a RWD car.

Do you have any pictures of your car? I would love to see your car.

Gideon: I'll have pics up of my ride as soon as I get it out of the shop. Had some hail damage and I'm in the process of getting that all taken care of. I'll post them then. I'll admit, looking at the profile view of my car, the wing can seem a bit unnecessary, but I love the way it looks from the front right view, like as if you're passing someone in the oncoming lane. Definitely catches eyes!
