Default Rear Wing?

Can I ask you guys to post pics of your rear wings, please?

I think that I am in the market for one, but all of the pics that I have found aren't very clear.

Thanks,
Bryan

I took the wing off mine and you can have it if you want it. I'm fixing to put on a camper for the summer.

That's not tall enough to generate the correct amount of down force..

Come on guys....I'm serious!

I have a 75. No litle ducktail like the 80s...No chrome bumper or little associated flare....

Just a plain round butt.

I definately want something simple ...NOTHING RICE!!!!

Grandsportc3 has a wing.

A small adjustable carbon fiber wing might work out.

What do you have on yours? LOL

Do you have something like this on? If that's the case, I lied, that's the only nice wing available aftermarket but not on a stock car, looks like crap then if you ask me.



I've been playing with the thought of adding one of those also.

From reading some of your previous posts, you might consider changing your forum name to "Bling27".
