chalk one more up for no wing (or lip wing).

And I love the holden front end. When's that coming in?


GTO... my next car.

Again I am from the school of thought in that I think wings kill the lines of most cars. There are few cars that I feel look truly good with a wing on it. The GTO I must say falls into that category for me. Though I do like the very clean look it has without the wing...I really feel like the wing complements the lines of the car to the point where it is warranted.

Cliff: Chalk me up for wing.

I'm kind of torn on this one. On certain cars the wings just finish off the rear end and on others it ruins them. On this car, it's tough b/c the wing you have really isn't that bad looking.

However, that said, I voted for no wing. Looking at the pictures you posted from the same angle the lack of a wing seems to give the car a lower profile, thus a sleeker appearance. If you really felt you needed a wing, I'd go lip spoiler. Otherwise, lose that wing and go sleek

Lip > Wing

Paint the lower rear flat black rather than glossy.

No wing...it looks much sleeker. Some look better with a wing and some don't.

Like the G35 coupe, imo looks much better without the wing.

werd... no wing

I'm wingless at the moment too, and will remain that way. It looks sooo much cleaner.

However, a roof spoiler with no wing on the rear would look pretty sick

I'm keeping my wing. I like it- plus the fact that I am way too lazy to take it off.

No wing, save up for a lip spoiler. Don't paint the GTO. Looks goofy on Mustangs and it's not worth it.

No wing. The shape of the trunk makes it look like it already has a lip spoiler. I like the clean look, but that's just me. I like to keep things low-key.
