Wing or No Wing?

Just taking a little poll - which SVX looks better - one with the trunk wing or one without the trunk wing. I personally like it better without.

This has been discussed before and most feel if it doesn't have the spoiler, the pearlie looks best.

I think the "black top" cars look better with a wing while the "colour tops" look better without. I have one of each.

+1 for with a wing...but the SVX looks good without also. Note...good with the stock wing (JDM or US version) BUT not with anything "ricey." Some cars can pull off a little ricey on the wing (eclipse, supra) but definately not the SVX (much like the 300zx...gosh a big wing looks awful on those).

without it, it looks like a ladies car - just like a wingless Porsche 911, IMHO.

I agree. When I got my pearlie (no spoiler) I looked around at all the ones with spoliers and decided I liked it without. There is a lot going on in the back already, with two tone paint, etc. I think it looks sleeker without it.

However, Most solid colors look better with it. For some odd reason, without one they look unfinished. I took the spoiler off of my Polo Green to see if I liked it... and put it back on.

Here is a picture from the other side of the Atlantic of a Polo without a spoiler.

i'd hardly call the low-profile stock wing "boy-racer".

until i moved mine back an inch or two, my buddy didn't even know my car had a wing. "did you get a rear spoiler put on?"
