I have the 5Axis spoiler. I really like it! The stock frs/brz look so smooth and curvy. I wouldn't want to jack up the look with some ricey over the top wing. The 5axis spoiler is subtle yet stylish. IMO

yeah ovet the top but its functional due to Rear wheel drive.. yeah some what looks like the celica but on the celica its just for looks aka FWD like the RSX "integra" wing...

if i was to rock this wing i would have turbo but i like NA motors.. just want to tweak it and get the most out of it

Since you are debating between the Five Axis wing and wingless, I say get the Five Axis wing. If you ever tire of the look, you can revert back to wingless Then back to winged. Whenever you feel the need to change the look, going back and forth between winged and wingless is a way to do it. This trick might even pay off by delaying the urge to buy other exterior mods to change up your look.

A spoiler is hardly just for looks on fwd. I'm not an expert but there is more to it than just downforce, other things like drag and lift also need to be taken into consideration.

I'd be interested to see a close up pic of the paint job on that. 350 seems really low for a high quality paint job included. Then again, you could have hit an awesome find there!

If it's like mine, they're painted by FiveAxis. They did a great job color-matching them.
