such an open ended question that has been talked about soooooo much..

its all preference man, i never removed my wing once. my best friend had a RR evo and has removed it numerous times.

Your gonna get the responses, it saves you hassling from the cops, looks better than a boy racer, etc......

Thats like asking whats your favorite color, mine is Midnight Blue, what do you think? LOL, not trying to bust ya man but such an open ended topic....

good luck with ur answers

I think thats a matter of opinion... And yours should be the only 1 that matters!
W/ that being said, since your looking for opinions, I say leave the wing...

Do you like to turn? Then keep the wing.

Did you buy the car in hopes of turning it into an Accord? Then lose the wing.

The difference the wing makes in handling at high speeds and overall fuel economy is fairly decent. So if you wanna turn, and get lower gas mileage, leave it on. If you want better gas mileage, take it off. If yours is set up so you can add and remove it easily, then leave it on most of the time, and take it off for long road trips or driving to and from work if it's a long drive.

If you don't want the cops hassling you, don't drive like a jackass, it won't matter whether you have the wing or not, it never mattered on the Evo or the S2000, and the S2000 had a big APR wing.

The wing comes into play at 100+ mph. I do not think gas mileage comes into consideration there.

I think the wing makes it look more balanced. I see them wingless and they have the 'coming or going?' look.

+1, It just looks odd to me when I see one without it.

Then again though, I can see why people think it looks nice de-winged, definitely changes the look.

The wing comes into play well under 100 mph, and affects gas mileage even at 50.

Personally I like how some look with and without them. I think it has to do with the type of wheels and suspension you choose, but if the car is completely stock I say leave the wing on. Just my .02 cents
