Aluminum Wing or not.
Friday, February 25, 2005 1:46 PM
Ok so i have the stock wing on my 2000 4 door cav now and i like it but someone had mentioned that my car would look better witha a black aluminum wing. I hate those HUGE wings but i could possibly like something like this in either silver or black:

Being low profile, it isn't that bad. Certain cars look nice with them. I have personally always liked RKSports Pro-Stock spoiler. It is what ever you like. If I didn't have a stock spoiler on my car, I would consider that.

some cars look good with them, some don't. then again, it's a matter of taste and personal preference. if you get a good looking wing and you like it... then go for it. but then there's some wings that just look like ass no matter what car they are on.

i can show you some 4 door cavies that look a thousand times better than some coupes... so before you start running your mouth off making yourself look like a retard, stop and think.

Well, this is another one of those "whatever you like" issues.
For example, I can't believe you aren't getting torn a @$$ over the big-ass wing you've got.
Yeah, it ain't aluminum, but it's huge. But you like it, so you have it.

I don't like aluminum wings, but if you think your car looks good with one on it, go for it.

I actually like that one.

Any one that is low and has the brackets on go vertical on the truck also are good in my eyes

dude. I HAD a APR gt-1 spoiler on my car and it looked great ( just remember this though, if you dont mind seeing out your back window , then go for it ) as seen here:


or you can go something like fiberglass - there is the GTR wing or the TRD wing as seen here:


or you can go with the pro-stock wing ( they look great and fit awesome )
i had a aluminum wing and it looked good but couldnt see out my window. I had the fiberglass wing ( GTR-B ) wing and looked great again and still couldnt see out my window ( I was stuiped - dont ask ) but now im going for the pro-stock wing but if you like aluminum, go pro-street wing from RK SPORT, its aluminum and low.

^^^ Both of which are WAY to tall in my opinion. But, that's my O P I N I O N. I'm not gonna tell anyone that a picture of just a wing is gonna make a whole car look like crap. One question though, I see the add say 52" wide...I think it would almost look too wide on the back of a Cavy. It seems like the edges would be out over where the quarter starts to curve down. I dunno. See if you can find pics of one on a car already, and see how you like it. Or PhotoShop it onto one and look.

I have the Rk C5 carbon wing on my fire and it is 56" wide and looks great. Not too wide at all. I just think that aluminum wings look cheap. If you didn't like it then you wouldn't be asking would you? Get it if you want, just not my style.

That's not a bad wing, I personally thought that's the one i wanted too! lol I bought one back in '02ish i think.. and i was all excited.. I got it put it together.. and it just seemd out of place on mycar. I held it to you the trunk in various possitions, had friends hold it and it just didn't look right on my trunk. So i sold it to my roomy for his POS Civic. was a $30 car w/ a $180 wing. LOL It got stolen the night we put it on his trunk. Aparently kids walk around w/ allan wrenches & Ratchets & sockets. LOL It was gone no more than 3 hours after we put it on. they took everything BUT THE FEET. LOL LMFAO I like my wing that i Have now.. It's an adjustable wing that's fiberglass. 10" or 7" it didnt look right as a 7" wing so i mounted it as a 10" wing. Alot of people don't like it. but again it's YOUR OPINION not anyone elses. I love my wing reguardless of whut others think. took me years to finally find something i likes that wasnt a giant bird perch on my trunk lid. hehehe I have pics on my Car Domain web page (http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/747496/1). I would personally advise maybe going to a local parts dealer that carries wings see if they have a similar one, and see if they will escourt the wing to yoru car to see how it looks on it. to make sure it's whut you want. That's not a bad looking wing tho, Again tho it's what YOU WANT on yoru cavy.. that's why it's yours. Reguardless of what other people think you should always do things to your car for what you want and would like to see.. not someone else!!!

its up to you, but personally i like low profile aluminum wings the black ones look nice with red or yellow cars. as long as its not a boeing 747 20 inch off the trunk wing, i think it'll look nice. and while 4 doors can be made to look great(got a 4 door sunfire), i dont think aluminum looks too great with it. its your car though, your choice

^ I was going to say. I love your friggin car and it's a four door and everything u have looks great on it.
You're proof that a four door can look just as good (if not better) as a two door.

As for the wing, if you prefer the aluminum wing, get it. If you even think you would like something else, please save up and get that instead. Don't have ANY regrets about what you buy. I personally do not like aluminum wings and I have seen ONE cavy I like with one. & since yours is a four door, I believe something other than a aluminum wing would look better. I don't think an aluminum wing would look right on a four door at all. Pro-stocks look great on four doors. I love my Wings West Mini Me, but those may be hard to come by now. Both are smaller spoilers. When it comes down to it, it's your car though-- get whatever u prefer.
