Rocket bunny spoiler w/out flares

The whole kit together is legendary in my opinion, but would the gt spoiler look good while using other bumper lips and skirting with no flares? It would definitely be functional on a track and could be used in street class time attack events as opposed to getting stuck in super street/unlimited with the use of flares (depending on who's hosting the event of course). Post your opinions!

Personally, I love the wing but would never run it without the rest of the kit

This is why (to me) it needs the rest of the kit. Even without the wing I feel like the car isn't wide enough, and that wing just screams for a wider car. With the rest of the kit it is killer though

I would only do it with the flares. The wing is wider than the stock body and would overhang without the flares to match the larger width of that wing. I like the wing, but I don't $2,500 like it...

I am not sure how functional I think that wing is. It seems like it would create massive drag.

Any wing that has no drag is also going to provide no downforce, so I would think the fact that it does create drag would show that it was very functional. There are also plenty of race teams running this full kit, and I doubt they would waste their time and money on parts that weren't proven to add some benefit

I like R-Magic's spoiler. Kind of like an rx8 wing. I'd like to see that wing on a the frs without the body kit.

True everybody, it would definitely overhang. Would it overhanging really be that bad tho? It could possibly look out of place, il see what I can photoshop onto the back of my frs lol.
