Everyone says the same thing ,why don't you take that ugly thing off that poor car.

I am to lazzy to take it off .

I don't mind the wings if they're small and invisible.... I think they're a cheap, unimaginative, white trash way of accessorizing. There's many subtle things that can be done to set it apart without bolting some crappy wing to it.
I guess GM is to blame for producing a beautiful car that's hard to improve on visually (not includiing the ugly factory wheels).

if you're intent on ruining your vette, by all means get yourself a dandy little wing. it'll most definitely trash it up.
if you're intent on keeping the classy OE lines, please by all means leave it alone. wings are unnatural on a corvette.

BTW - some cars don't need wings to fly!

When I painted my 91, I put a wing on then off, then on just to see if I liked it before I actually bolted it onto the car. I decided to go ahead and install. Now I regret it and am going to remove and repair.

Whoa, did he upgrade to a turbine engine too. Looks like it's ready for lift off...or atleast be able to pull a good wheel stand with all that extra weight in the back. Some peoples children.
