So, my stock wing is fading a bit and the clearcoat doesn't look so hot anymore. Its not bad yet... but down the road I think it will be. That basically leaves me with two choices. Wingless or pay to have the stock wing
reprayed and cleared. A DIFFERENT WING IS NOT AN OPTION.
Im leaning towards wingless... I just wondered if you guys and girls think it would look good with my setup.
Heres my car.

i think if u had a lower drop it would look better. Wingless only looks good on a real low drop usually. But i think u could maybe pull it off

I probably asked you this already, but how much did it cost to get you side skirts painted? I want to do the same. If you go wingless you could always look into a lip spoiler too.

Id love a brashboy.... but thats not in my budget at this point.
I paid 350ish to have the sides sanded completely smooth and painted, along with the paint on my TRD lip.

Good luck. How bad is yours? What year is your car?

I think you could go wingless. It may be cheaper to get your stock wing repainted than to have the holes filled though.

leave the wing on, or try to find another stock spoiler to replace it. Your cars not low enough to pull off wingless. Wont look right, no offense.

I think it looks really good with the stock spoiler on. I don't think it would look better with it off. My vote's to keep it on (repaint it, or look for a cheap used one). :)
And damn pnoygts, that looks terrible. :wtc:

If your not going any lower then re-do the spoiler. Wingless wont look good on your car unless it's slammed

GOOD GOD MAN.... mine looks NOTHING like that... I have three spots of the lighter shade.... about the size of a kernel of corn each.
How about you buy mine cheap ;)

You have to have them cut off... Have the holes from the wing filled and than the hatch resprayed and cleared.
What kinda price do you think it would run to have this done? Anyone thats wingless please let me know.

I know my car isn't SUPER low... but it certainly isn't the highest car around.
I have about a one inch wheel gap.
Yes?
No?

Why would rain mess up the spoiler and not the rest of the body kit or what not?

No, the molly rear and painted sides arent aggressive enough to make up for no spoiler. Plus like everyone has said it would have to be alot lower to pull it off. Keep the spoiler, it looks 100% better with it on.:thumbup:

Your car looks so much better with the wing on, Kory.
