Default Swapped RS 3.8 wing for the OEM RS America wing on my RSA

Let me know what you guys think now that you can compare them side by side in the photos. In terms of function, I can definitely say that the RS 3.8 wing provides more downforce at speed. In terms of looks, I think I like the OEM RSA wing better. I still need to put the "RS America" badges on the rear deck lid.

Would you like to sell your RS 3.8 wing?

I thought it was generally accepted that if you install the RS3.8 rear wing then the front splitter must be added as well, in order to maintain balance at 'speed'?

I like the OEM wing better, the 3.8 wing is nice, but looks a bit too big for a narrow body car.

No one likes the RS wing? I kinda think it looks good, especially on a white car.

I lke the both wings; but I think the OEM wing flows better with the shape of the car.
