POll : What wing do you prefer on the RA

I see a lot of pictures lately of RA's gone wingless. Although I do not like the look, others obviously do. That's cool. I like the stock wing myself, or an Evo wing with other mods such as suspension and wheel upgrades. Just curious what everbody else thinks.

The Evo VIII spoiler is nice, but personally I like the stock wing on our cars the best, but that's just me. I considered it awhile back but for the money I'd rather get an axelback, or save it for gas.

I saw a wingless weaving in and out of traffic on the knight bridge the other night. Looked alright, but the rear is not high enough to look kind of like an IS I suppose. Wasn't sure if it was a Ralliart or OZ because it was dark, but it had the chrome Altezzas. Didn't bother to check the rear lip though. Also it was picking up pretty quickly on the highway.

A dropped RA looks really sweet when it's wingless... especially when it's got nice simple rims (17 or 18"). That's my vote...

Yeah, the pic of that TG Ralliart lowered with rims DOES look good. The one I saw was not lowered though. Meh...

VOTE: High Wing

It's just flow much better than the stock spoiler. Look at the stock spoiler and look at the body lines of the trunk, rear quater panel and rear bumper, im sorry but it does not flow together at all, that's why I never like the stock wing. The high wing flows much better with the lines than the stock wing, even looks better too.

it all depends on the color... black would be about the only good looking wingless if it were lowered.... also red or white looks good with the evo spoiler IMO. I just dont think our car has the right body lines to be wingless. The thing i would like to see is how the 02-03 OZ rally wing might look... Anybody ever try it?

Stock or wingless. Anything else is rice.

Only some possible choices that would fall under "other" may be rice. The Evo wing looks great on the RA. A big aluminum wing on a Contour is rice.

Agreed. Evo wing on RA is still functional and not really rice. Yes yes yes i know FWD cars dont need rear downforce but the high wing still provides stability. And the RA and Evo look pretty close in comparison that i dont think it looks better or worse on either car. Sure it fits the Evo better on a performance scale, but then again it would help out with a turbo RA.

The defenition of "rice" IS a big aluminum wing on a Contour with a fart can from AutoZone for an "exhaust". Not a color matched Evo wing on an RA. But some people obviously have different views on the whole rice thing. Oh well.

Question. Would it be rice to put RA wheels on an OZ?
