Look at Gary Knox's car - I love the look of no spoiler, especially on post 86 cars.

You may have seen this picture before, but here's a factory delete 85. ( I have a hatch with the spoiler section removed, also, if you want a close-up of the attachment points)

Yep mine is gone and i seriously like the look 110%
The wing on the S4 looked like a cheap aftermarket job anyway and as a bonus i can see out the rear clearly now,

Panzer, Is that yours or Rog's 928? It looks like a Michigan license plate on it.
BTW, either way it looks good.

I think they look good without wing in certain colors. Rogers look good with the middle Porsche logo. the S4 wing does look like a after thought, maybe someone can design a new functional wing it would look good with the lines of the car.
I personaly like the old body styles with the tiny rear wings they look right in place.

I didn't realize how BAD *** Sterling's car looked as of late. I was only familiar with his avatar.

Sterlings car is INSANE! He has done a freaking AWESOME job with that car! And it all only took 13 years! Ha Ha! Just messing w/ you bro'! You should see his trick rear seat delete! VERY NICE!

I personally like the wings. They are at least effective and correct vs. just there for looks. I am not a fan of the S cars, I would rather have a clean early car or a S4/GTS. First on my list are GTS's...nothing better. Then the S4, OB, and S... that is just me.
