Does anyone have any pics of the k1 wing on a celica thats NOT a widebody? I've been able to hunt down some pics of the wing and I really really like it and although I like the widebody kit AIT makes, it's not something I'll be putting on my car, my car has a stock spoiler right now but the clear coat is going on it and I've been looking for something to replace it with I think the k1 is the way to go but I wanna see it on something without the widebody is all! Any help is much appreciated!
Here are among the best pics you'll find of it, scroll down look at the silver celica, not the roof spoiler but the trunk!

I've thought about buying it as well to add onto my Varis kit.
I came to realize that it hangs way past the rear bumper and is heavy!
I stopped there, I didn't even bother to contemplate as to how the ends are mounted to the rear panels. :ugh:

so you're saying I should get it in carbon fiber? lol :gap:
these pics don't make it seem like it hangs too far over...although I don't really have that type of shot...I guess I figured it would stick out as much as the bumper...also I hadn't really thought about the ends...it really would make an easier install if it was 1 piece and the ends were ever so slightly above the rear panels, kinda like the cali type r kit for the integra back in the day...I'm still interested in pursuing it as of now tho the weight could be an issue if my hatch shocks can't handle it that'd be annoying...I think it'd look sick on your car for sure, it would totally change the appearance going from wingless to such a unique wing you know? I only have a front lip on mine, no rear or sides just yet...

also totally just realized this shaves off the antenna huh? I actually never listen to the radio so really whatever but I mean I'd like to keep it for the once a year someone wants the radio...I wonder how much it would be to relocate? perhaps to the top of the hatch in the center? I really dunno where it would look good? this is totally raining on my parade! lol I pretty much love this wing but it is starting to seem complicated

I don't like it. At all. It's gaudy, poorly designed, fawkin huge, and just way too ugly/ricer.
