Default I wanna puke

In the past 24 hours I have seen a 74 Firebird and a 70 camaro with those dumb butt 8 foot wings on them. I don't care if the ricers do it to common japanese cars but this is SACRELIGE!

Weel, it depends on how they are done. I have often thought of putting one on my 77. Not to look like a rice but to replicate the look of a SCCA GT class car.

I can here the cat calls now. Please no stones, just through vegtables :)

I don't know what you guys have against wings... Remember the Plymouth Road Runner Superbird??? I think that the Road Runner Superbird is one of the coolest classic cars and it has a 4 foot wing!!! However - wings that look good on classic cars are quite different from those "Ricer" wings...

There's a reason Joe Dirt had a Superbird. . . .
