For me no wing at all. When my car gets full track conversion, then I'll look for a proper functional racing rear wing, TRD, STI or any other quality stuff that really works.

And if you'd like the data: http://www.aprperformance.com/index....sk=view&id=183

Personally I hope it has nothing more than a little lip spoiler from the factory. I say this because I know that in order for a spoiler to actually be effective like Dave-ROR (and I) would want, the car would have to have something like what Random_Art posted...and they look terrible on a street car.

There is a reason race cars have the wing up high (at, or just below the roof line).

I just want it to be mounted (whatever they pick) in a removable fashion (bolts/nuts).

Just my experience coming from Integras, the ITR wing is annoying, but it works (very noticable difference without it - and on the plus side it blocks a lot of the annoying headlights people use in Chumpcar :P ) so if it's not molded into the bodywork and is mounted with bolts/nuts then hopefully someone will release a functional wing to reuse those stock holes (Like Mugen did for Integras and some others have as well), that way I can remove 4 nuts, swap to the proper wing for track use and then 4 nuts again to remove and switch back to the stock spoiler. That way it's not ugly all the time on the street.

I doubt I will ever truely make this a 100% track car (cage, bucket, harnesses, etc) so I'd at least like the option to swap a functional wing on the car for the occasional track day that I feel like using this car for.

I can live without it too, I doubt I'll drive this more than 8/10ths on track since it'd just be for fun.

I don't want a huge wing either, something low and tasteful. Since I won't be tracking this car hardly ever, I don't want a big erector set on the back of my car. Obviously we all understand the functionality of a wing of that nature, but most people on the street will see it and say RICE and that is not what I am going for in this car.

@DaveROR - I love the removeable option you pose. Would be great for this sort of vehicle as they are building it with excellent handling and I'm sure with the idea in mind that many people will try and track it.

I want a deck lid spoiler like a 06 Acura RSX TypeS as I have no reason to need the high wing. The car will be a DD only.

quik1987 09-29-2011 02:50 PM

Seeing as how higher performance or similar cars don't need such a crazy spoiler (Cayman R, 1 series M, 370Z, S2000, etc.), and I'm not a teenager anymore, I don't think I will be going with the TRD/STI wing. I doubt I will be tracking it often if ever.

I also have every intention of keeping this car forever, so I'd rather have more of a sleeper kind of car and not draw attention from police and such when I drop an STI engine much farther down the road.

I also like the mk. ii spoiler despite what everyone else says. I imagine the carbon fiber would look quite nice against whitest white.

DaveyG 09-29-2011 03:21 PM

Wing only if its functional, other wise rice

You do know that the carbon fiber on the concept is just for the auto show, right? It's extremely unlikely that we'll see carbon fiber on this car at the price point they're aiming for

Gonna bring this car to the Canyons! Yea... because since the world is going to end. I'm going to die in fashion. So in a "Wing" perspective... I'll take whichever is going to help me keep my line.

Taking the corners like a boss and dying before the government screws me over some more. :D

could always do carbon fiber vinyl as long as it's the same style spoiler, even though it would be a little rice.
