I dont like any on the bottom, they look like Subaru WRX to me...the top is the best of your pics, but only because the others are wore... Aero looks best OEM if you can find one IMHO

Im trying - OEM deck lid is just too expensive and Im having a tough time finding a replica aero wings.

So far the only thing that cam up was a bolt on wing only - which im not thrilled about and this guy on ebay that I know nothing about

Take your time as OEM ones pop up here every once in a while. The only fiberglass guy I would trust is MA Shaw but be prepared for a lot of prep work to make it right and your body shop guy laughing at you and saying he won't touch it...

Gotta say, I don't care for any of those wings , my MASHAW MkII wing required virtually NO prep work from the body shop, It arrived primed and ready for paint.

I have seen that I think it looks good, there are a couple of RL's that have that setup.

what can you expect to pay for a good wing - and please separate the cost of prep and paint - assume install is a DIY

I found an OEM wing from this forum and I really like it. Can't beat factory wings for P-cars IMHO.

I personally believe you can have the MKII wing with the MKI bumper and skirts with no problem if for some reason you don't like the taco wing. Where I see people run into problems is when they mix the MKI and MKII bumper and skirts. Those need to be matched.

Tasteful. One of the few fixed wings I like on the non-turbo, GT3, etc. p-cars.

Well - do to time restraints - I had to pull the trigger
I decided on the Misha GTM wing base on photos that Ben Choi posted.

I like the way it looked and his car even had the same rims as I do.
