I couldn't really tell for sure. Yours looks a little like the pedestal mount (sport wing) but it was a little hard to tell with the black car (nice looking car by the way)
The one she is looking at is simlar to the rear wing on the TAs (uuugg) but like I said, it is hard to tell from the mag photos

Let me guess... you go to import style shows where you get points for each modded part of the car, not overall style and composition

Nope but my pure disgust at the C5 parts Greenwood puts out compelled me to be an *******.

Seriously though... if you like it then more power to you. It's your car and your money. At least you picked the right color

That really is what it's all about; doing what you want with your car to make it different. I personally don't care for super loud exhaust, but its all relative since I have magnaflow exhaust which my wife thinks is too loud.
The one thing to remember is that wings and spoilers belonged to super exotic cars (lamborgini, porshe, etc.) long before ricers started putting them on their cars!

Ah yes.. but a functional wing on a 200 mph Lambo is a bit different than a wing on a 105mph civic


Anyway, point is, if ya like it - do it!!!

Nope Corvette show in Myrtle Beach (over 300 Corvette)and Street Thunder in Charleston (All most 400 cars over 100 Corvettes) and the Capitol City Corvette Club Show Over 150. But you are right its the right color.
