a best wing is a no wing?

i remember how i used to dig the wing from procarpart.com for our cars, but in a few months, taste can change like that, now the wing looks nasty! so i think the best wing for our car is not having one, wut your opinion?

Actually you might be onto something cuz I bought my Civic without one.... I thought the OEM wing was too small.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I think our cars need them, the coupes anyway, or they just look wrong, however I am a HUGE fan of spoiler-less supras.

The Tsunami and Kaminari wings are BOTH tight, the WW flush-mount looks good too. I've got the OEM on my sedan, only because the only other option besides wingless is the kaminari, and it would cover part of my taillights . . .

The spoiler IMO makes a big difference in how the car looks, the civics look slightly long and akward, they need something to balance this out, a rear spoiler does this very well and i think brings the whole car together.

I think the WW Mini-Me Commando looks the best. Like SpdRcrChk has on her car.

a rear wing like the oem one, to me, makes the car stand too tall. i think we have the tallest gen civic yet and even with a good drop we still look tall compared to other dropped civics. i prefer no wing but the tsunami is very interesting one. it looks like it skrinks the trunk.
