I think the wing is overkill (too radical) if you're going to be driving the car daily on public roads. However... For the track atmosphere, it's superb. I'd go without it because this car doesn't need it unless you're really going all out on the track benefits / modifications like the member (my friend) @pcasso87 did with his own FR-S. Good luck.

When I first saw the wing I thought it was too much, but it has grown on me and I think it suits the kit well. I think you should do what you think is best for yourself, if you like the wing then go for it. I'm pretty set on getting this kit, and it will be with the wing.

Unless it's a highly dedicated track car that you are also using as a DD, no wing. I will say that it looks great on the Rocket Bunny kit, but that's a track car first and foremost. Putting a wing on a standard FR-S = RICE. Don't do that crap, man, we don't want these cars turning into Civics.
But on that particular car, it looks incomplete without that wonderfully gargantuan wing. It's lovely. |

I agree, no wing if you're gonna drive it on the street often. Otherwise, GO BIG OR GO HOME!

That wing is too much for a street car. I could understand if it is for track use.

I need to correct my post too, as I kinda came off sounding like a jerk, but I really think that kit needs that wing, or at least a reaaly big ducktail.

The wing is only part of the kit. You will also need a super aggressive wheel and tire combo to make the wide body kit look AMAZING! I am still a fan of wheels with a big lip, though concave wheels seem to be the NEW NEW...
So... YES on the wing. |

Yes on the wing for track events. No for DD. Maybe the wing can be placed and removed easily ... as needed.

I love that Rocket Bunny wing! I just can't justify the cost of that badboy. When I first got quoted a price on it, I had to go back to the pics to see if it was dipped in gold and secured with solid diamond bolts
![]() Very cool wing though

I personally do not like that kind of wing. A lip on the trunk seems more subtle. Wings to me remind me of the Fast and Furious movies and all the ricers out there. Are we really driving 100mph+ everyday that the wing has a purpose? Of course this is all opinion in the end and you'll have to decide for yourself... But I would do a Rocket Bunny kit (probably next year if no other wide body kit comes out) and I'd do it without that wing... A Lip works for me.
- good luck!
