Mazdaspeed Front. Wing or Wingless?

I've recently come across some nicely done 8s with the MS front but wingless, but wondering if I should do it...

Doing a quick 'chop here kinda make me wanna stay wing-ed, as wingless just doesn't have that "wow" feel i get from the other wingless MS-ed cars. What do you guys think?

I actually found a guy who goes to my school (the school parking sticker) in an apartment parking lot... even wrote a note... but figured I'd give some more thought to it before actually leaving it there...

i like wingless, give it a more agressive look imo, kind of an optical illusion making it seem lower

I'll be going wingless soon also. I like the look and it does give the illusion that the ride is lower.

I like wingless. it does look good but the car kind of looks naked without a spoiler. For example people love WRX's with out spoilers but i thing it looks really wrong.

Mine currently has a lip spoiler.



BUT i have ordered a M/S wing to finish of the look.

This


Back when I had the OEM spoiler I left a note on someone else's car asking if they would want to trade trunks. They were parked near some ivy/bushes and ten minutes later I walked by again and there were wet paper scraps all over their front windshield, looked like a massive spit-wad. So yeah, if you do it, make sure they didn't park near sprinklers, lol.

There is a definite split between wing and wingless.

I agree that wingless makes the car seem more aggressive (especially with an aggressive wheel set-up). But, a wing/spoiler makes it look more sporty and nimble, imo.

I bought the RX8 for it's handling and performance...

Split??? There are more favors for wingless than with wings. Definitely, i will go with wing (oem or mazdaspeed). I like the complete look.

You might get 100 WHP on the dyno but the rear spoiler reduced lap times by 15-20% guaranteed.
