My rod millen wing has finally been painted, so I did a little trial fitment today. Here the car is, before the wing...

And here it is, with the wing...

I'm pleased with how that's looking. The car looks more complete. The seibon hood made the front of the car look too aggressive compared to the wingless rear. Now, with the wing, it evens out. Going to mount the wing propperly within a few days, and then I'll take some better pictures.
And btw: Fitment and finnish on the Rod Millen wing was terrible. It's the last time I'm ever buying any rod millen product, ever again. Their customer service sucks donkey too. I also have their front lip, but got the vizage kit instead 'cause of the pooo fitment of the rod millen lip.
Anyways...Opinions on wingless VS wing?

I currently have a wing and have been debating wingless. Looking at your pics, personally wingless looks better. It looks cleaner and more sleek.

I like both ways...I like the wingless look on your car, looks good, but with the wing also looks nice.

I have a kam kit and also like a clean look, the wing on your car matches nicely with your kit still i would stay wingless.

I'm a fan of wingless but your car has a very agressive look, I like it with the wing.

it looks great before and after the wing. btw, what exhaust do you have, thats an interesting tip.

with your rims and wingless, your car could actually be classified as an exotic over being a sports car

I like it both ways. I cannot decide which way is better. Personally, i think it is 50/50 but for some reason and leaning more towards the car with the wing.

the wing flows well with the back of the kit from the rear.
i love that wing lol
if you couldnt guess
looks better with
if you car was lower to the ground it would look better wingless but those 19s dont help lol
and yeah their customer service does suck if you dont call em. there wing does rub if you dont trim it up a little bit on the corners and a lot of the front lips ive seen have bad fitment. mine fits really really well though just got to keep adjusting it to get it to sit flush.

also when you mount it dont use double sided tape use something soft then you can use double sided tape in the corners so its not hard to take off. you put the sides on first dont tighten it all the way down till you put in the center piece.

Took some shots tonight. Out of 48 snaps, these were the 3 only useable ones. Yes, I suck at taking pictures.

that first one is a good pic, in general, other than the big hose hanging from the air and the name FRANK in the background
w/ your current setup i'd go with the wing

Both setups look good, but the wingless doesn't look so much better that I would consider taking off my wing and filling in the holes.

I am glad you decided to stick with the wing. IMO it looks sportier that way. I like it. Good job.

They're OEM on euro celica's.
Looks good with the wing on. And I like the invader hood better with the OEM style scoop too, nice.

I want to change the rims alltogether, to some with black spokes and a polished lip. Love how that looks. But I'm a bit short on cash right now after having done everything else to my car :)

To confirm what evil eye says: they're OEM european ones. I personally think they look better than the big ones you have on your bumpers in the state. Also, they come white as stock.
