Opinion? Should i go wingless?

What do you guys think? im thinking about losing the wing since this kid wants it really bad and i was planning on going with a different one anyways, because i went single and my car is really loud so i dont want to attract any extra attention from cops and i think a big wing is a dead giveaway.

So check out the pix and let me know what you guys think about losing it now.

In the pix the car isnt lowered yet. it will be soon tho. And some pix dont have the sideskirts on but they will be on.

take the wing out and see if you like it....the only time I like the wingless look is when the car has a full body kit....

Sorry to say it but I am not a huge fan of that spoiler. Take it off for the "sleek look".

Picture #3 looks good... but I just looked @ #1 & it looks bad from behind... from from the front-side angle I like it.

I think you should keep the wing with that front bumper. They look good together. I think the front may look too agresive without the wing on the rear to balance it out. I love wingless on stock body FDs. Just my .02.

I am not a fan of wings on any car (Fn civics with three tier aluminum wings ruined it for me). I have a Silver car with a pro difuser and am currently getting a tail light cover to match. I should be able to post pics of the set up next week. keep an eye out in the group buy section. hint. hint.

It actually is just a tail light cover that extends a little extra.

If you get the diffuser, go wingless.

I have that tail light finisher. Its an re amemiya tail light finisher copy. I'll take it off though as soon as my 99spec front and wing.

I will go wingless on my FC, but not forever.
Get either the FEED or RE-Amemiya big wing. Both carbon.

IMO, you car looks kinda lop sided having a big front end such as the c west up front and nothing else on the sides or rear of the car. I'd suggest getting some kind of side skirts, and adding the diffuser to the rear will make it look great. As for the wing or wingless decision, i say keep the wing. I have a wingless FD and i want a spoiler. It just seems kinda empty without one. Keep the wing.
