Honestly, I can't believe that is even a question! With some tame little lip kit, maybe no wing, but this kit looks totally incomplete without the wing, and that wing is pure awesomeness!

Idk without a wing it looks incomplete. But I do think some sort of ducktail spoiler might look nice with it.

Unless this is a track car and that wing actually serves a practical function I'd pass. Looks like the car has 600 HP. If it has 200 or so that's false advertising.
Also, there's all kinds of similar looking wings (aside from the mounting) on eBay for cheap.
Sorry, but I just figured out what I consider "rice".

This and fart can exhausts turn me off!

Rocket Bunny kit without the wing is simply incomplete. If you are going for the "crazy all out look at me race car!" look, you might as well go all the way. And in my personal opinion, the wing is the best part of the kit, despite me not being too fond of huge wings.

Hope that helps.

I should also add the radical look is great...on a race car. And it will look weird without that iconic aileron.

Any road car with a wing, especially with a wing like that, looks like crap. The only place for a wing is on the track where speed allows it to perform its function. On the track it's function over form. On the street it's form over function and to me that spells rice.

On the first picture I would say without wing. On the rest, wing.
Wing suits the body-kit better in my opinion. Go for the wing.

if it makes any difference, the wing will = heaps of drag.

of course a bit of downforce, but as if you need it on the road... looks a bit much for the road imo

you can always leave it off and put it on at a later date - or buy it separately?

im not quite sure, on the GReddy site they only have the full kit or the kit w/o the wing. Im not sure but there must be someone where you could buy it seperately, whether it be ebay or a vendor..

heres the link for the GReddy site mate http://www.greddy.com/products/aerod...er:model:FR-S/
