All we know is.... He's called The Stig

Spoilers are relatively flat and low. Wings stick up into the stratosphere.

I just got a nur spec wing. Now I don't know if I want to put it on after reading this...

Technically there's differences between wings and spoilers but they are pretty much interchangeable terms. Gurneys and rear lips kind of get thrown into the same bin.

I am sure that somebody will correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the Nur Spec wing look almost identical to the OEM GTS wing available in Australia and elsewhere? If so then it is already a look that some cars have.

Just do it and screw the guys that don't like it. Of all the possible wings it looks the very best to my tired old eyes.

I always found the wing on my Lancer GTS very functional. Even if it was just for finding the car in the snow.

Yeah it's the same wing. I have the rest of the body kit to complement it. haha

Well then what are you waiting for!?
If I had the whole kit (colour matched) I would throw it on without hesitation.

Valid reason then.

The wings or spoilers are just eye candy. They really have no effect unless you're at/over a certain speed. Some cars like the Audi TT 1st gen were going out of control at high speeds because they had no spoiler. Once added it didn't fly off the road. So unless you drive at high speeds say 75+ mph all the time or track or drift or drive an F1 car you won't feel a difference. A spoiler is a fixed device that does not use air underneath for extra downforce. A wing at the proper angle is just like an airplane wing just upside down for downforce not lift.

Put it on if you like it. Also don't post pictures on the internet asking people if they like it unless you are ready to accept that not everyone has the same taste.
