I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee !!

Looks close to the SCCA Transam series cars. The wing would look appropriate on the track, not decided on the street though.

I'm not opposed to wings, just ones like THAT with the tall uprights that lif it so high off the car. Integrated ones like i885744's and Olivier's look cool.
