Question POLL: Wing options!!!!!

Ok, so as a lot of you konw I got slammed into by a truck and it tore up the rear end of my car... My trunk and wing need to be replaced... I searched but didn't find the carbon fiber option so let me know what you all think.... If it helps at all it will be going on a Lighting Yellow 03 GSR

SHOULD I:

A: Just rock the carbon fiber trunk and vortex generator...

B: Do the carbon fiber wing with stock wing...

C: Do the carbon fiber wing with aftermarket wing... APR or Voltex


Thanks in advance, I am just having a hard time deciding.

Have the insurance company pay for the wing, have the shop put it on, take it off, sell it on here, make some $$$.

some carbon trunks come pre-drilled. there is no point to the votex generator without the wing. And i dont see a Voltex wing or APR wing going on a stock car(assuming your car is stock) or stock looking car that it will provide no function if your car is your daily driver. I dont know about your local law but tickets can be imposed on the aftermarket wings also. I've seen threads about guys getting tickets on the OEM wings, but thats a different story.

Which Apr wing? I'm not a fan of the GTC-200 wing that is made for our cars, but the universal GTC-200 wing isn't bad, it is what I want to do or the GTC-300. IMO if you have to replace it, do something different than stock. Wingless w/ VG looks good too.

I am leaning towards wingless and using the rest of the cash for a harness bar and some harnesses or something.

the rear end will look like this "JDM IX rear bumper, cf trunk, JDM V7 tails, cf vortex generator

I think that would look pretty gnarly

I'd paint that bit.ch. Go wingless and paint most of the trunk lid the same color as the rest of the car. Something like the Honda( I think), on Overhauling.
