You're probably going to get a bunch of guys who think it looks awesome, and another bunch who'll act like you just ran over their cat for suggesting such a thing.

End of the day, it's your car

FWIW, it's one of the few wings I'd consider getting

Not a big fan of the wing but you're the one that's going to drive it.

The kit looks like you're aspiring to a TT with lots of room for an intercooler. Are you going to supercharge it? Apart from that it looks good.

I've seen worse Joshua, it's a bit large for my tastes and doesn't look particularly functional Also the funny little gaps at the boot lid edges would bug the hell out of me I think.

If I was you, I'd go for a '97 factory spoiler.

Nope, don't like it. I think a late model spoiler looks a lot better then that.

Hey, already supercharged. Makes a BIG diff. as far as the kit goes. Good luck on the mods.
I think you're right, leave it as it is. Mucha bettera, maybe a subtle '97 rear wing would do it justice.
Gooood job of getting it.

yeah i do too cause it has that nice rounded back that says it has style and class but i was just seeing if breaking it up a lil would be ok. but yeah it'd probably be money spent and then i'd rip it back off and leave it off
