Hi all,

I have heard this age-old argument so thought it would be interesting to base a poll on the question of what are people's preference on rear wings (spoilers)?

I, for one, am against shopping-cart style wings but wings like the GTR wing on a R33 is a definite...I personally hate wingless sports cars and think it just makes the car look so weak without it but others argue the wingless look is neat and stealth etc. What do you guys think? Please share your views and explain why?

well my opinion is that it depends on the car, and as with all things its all about proportion.

gtst's look better without the wing, as they dont have the width to back it up... they arent wide, so they can be made to look low and sleek..

gtrs look good with their respective wings as thats what makes them them.. so to speak..

evo's and wrx's look good with their own wings as thats what makes them them.

i dont mind GT wings if the car they are on has a proper skirt kit and the bottom is wider, or as wide, as the wing. in other words.. a big wide gt wing on a standard r32 rear end looks wack... but if the r32 has rear pods and a rear diffuser it makes it look in proportion and tough as.

Nail on head.

end thread.

Depending on the car...

I agree with Linton as well.

Factory Standard spoilers on the GTR's are good enough.

R32 GTR you can get away with no spoiler, R33 GTR spoiler is a must and same with the R34 GTR, but depending on the style you want, you can get away with it, but I strongly advise to leave the R34 GTR factory spoiler on.

Drift car, wingless looks best or just keep the stock one on.

I agree with everything said here, however i can't cop the standard wing on supra's. Much better wingless.

You see I am completely the opposite... Always loved the look of Supras with either the standard wing or a GT Wing. IMO they are one car that can get away with outlandish bodykits because the factory shape is so bulky/curved.

One of my pet hates is seeing Supras with no wings (seems to be about 70% or higher these days). IMO they look like they are missing something... (which they are).

But each to their own as they say...

Yeah for sure.

I really like the OEM spoiler for the Supra too.

i dont agree. i had a black supra with no spoiler but it had a roof wing thing and i reckon it looked gangsta as f**k (prob coz it was my first car and all my friends had integras and corollas and shit lol)

the supra is a fine example of proportion

this car doesnt have the lower skirt kit... makes the car like high and skinny.. which makes the wing look a bit out of wack.. even if you dump it, without the skirt kit, the car is too long for how thick it is

this car does have the skirt kit... even without being lowered or having big wheels.. its made the car thicker, appear lower and the wing fits in with the rest of the shape.

this one to me, although nice, just looks unfinished at the back.. with the wing i think it would look cranky as.

its harder to make a supra look bad than it is to look good.

^^The Toyota / TRD Aero kit looks good on the white Supra looks great.

I also like some Veilside kits made for the Supra. Cuz it is a wider looking car I think It can get away with a fat bodykit.
