Umm... What is up with this wing?
 
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...4304/overview/

I don't understand why a wing was put on this, but the original one was left intact... Any answers?

Ya. They came in blue and white

OEM is a spoiler. The add-on is a wing.

$19.99 Ebay wing and a quart of lime green plastidip.
The answer is easy:

If shopping for a car I would turn and run before even getting the hood open.

JoeC 08-15-2017 10:22 PM

I can't even believe a dealer would put that on their lot...

Still not the worst twin I have seen for sale. I mean, it sucks... but most of that is fixable for not much investment.

Silver Cervy 08-16-2017 01:15 AM

Looks like the guy got the cheapest thing for every mod he did. Something tells me he didn't trade it in for an upgrade...

Poor car.

Cockatoo 08-16-2017 12:30 PM

The horror!

Cant believe what they are asking considering the terrible mods and the fact that its missing most of the oem lip kit.

Yes. Here's the answer:

The prior owner is a moron.

I missed the lime green crap the first time I looked at the ad. With taste that poor, that fool probably shouldn't even be allowed to dress himself.

The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

TheRoops 08-16-2017 03:07 PM

Is there a chunk of tire missing where they curb rashed the rims?

Zoid 08-16-2017 03:56 PM

Double the spoilers, double the downforce.

Slammillionaire 08-16-2017 04:08 PM

Who the fuck priced this thing

norcalpb 08-16-2017 04:41 PM

It's missing the alternator cover in the engine bay...I don't like stuff like that missing because who knows what else is missing that we can't see.

And why is it missing? Did they have the turbo from their Hyundai Genesis installed at some point or something?

Azzudien 08-16-2017 05:12 PM

It has different tires on front and back, it looks like Federals in Front and something else in back and yes it appears there is a chunk out of the tire.

I can only repeat what someone else already said. "poor car"

Well to be fair he's probably wearing a monster energy hat with the tag still on it.

It's a dealer. They'll sell it to an idiot by distracting him with the "affordable" monthly payment.

Yes, two busted rims out of the two they show.. I'm sure all four rims are destroyed.

The wing adds $5k to the MSRP. Better gas mileage, more HP, better cornering ability. :iono:

Hyundai dealer. It's expected.

guybo 08-17-2017 06:50 AM

The guy who bolted on the wing was just too lazy to take off the spoiler and didn't have enough taste to realize it HAD TO GO

double the downforce m8

ScoobsMcGee 08-17-2017 08:37 PM

Based on the quality of the other mawds, that wing is likely only held on with double sided 3m tape. Should be easy enough to remove.

As for the rest of that poor thing...
