That being out of the way, I think that wing looks stupid as all hell.
Damn, I should have put my FLAME SUITE on.

Unless that thing has 1000hp and can hit 200+ mph, there is NO NEED for a wing that big. Come on people.

I've seen worse, besides from I can see it looks like a functional wing and not a cheap one for show. Not necessarily coming to this guys defense but for all you know he can be a track day hero and needs the wing for stability.

I don't mind those wings BUT it has to be a full package thing with the whole car, not just a stand alone mod otherwise you end up on a forum like this looking like you don't know what you are doing.

From what I can see, it doesn't look that way. For a wing like that to be functional, it would have to be attached to the frame of the car. That is the only true way to transfer any dowforce to the suspension. That wing is for show and in very bad taste on a convertible. A good gust of wind would probably rip it off.

Unless, it is properly attached to the frame and done in a very seamless manner. If that's the case, then I take it back except..................it's still fugly.
