Pretty easy answer. If you're racing your car in a GT class, and you shell out the 2G's for an actual airfoil that creates actual downforce, YES, go for it. But, if you're just driving around the streets, with a 500 dollar carbon fibre plank, NO, that's lame.

IMO, maybe try the r-magic spoiler. A GT wing would look nice, but a bit weird on public roads.

No. GT wings are hideous!
Unless you truly plan on racing your car every weekend...which is doubtful by looking at your clean looking car.

In My Opinion, you need a very aggressive body kit to pull of the GT-Wing. I think the Ings Kit is very hot, but not very aggressive (which is good).

You're much better off getting the Ings Wing with your setup.

What look is popular in Thailand right now? In the US the big wing thing is over and considered 'rice'......however, if big wings are all the rage in Thailand, then it may be more acceptable. If your considering the wing at all then you are obviously a fan of the big wing......in which case, go for it.

Yes, you should install a GT wing in your 8. Fasten the support stands to the rear bolts that hold down the front seats, and let the wing's side peices sit on the edges of the back seats. Instant 5-seat RX-8.

IMO the car looks great right now, the GT wing will make it look ricey.
If youwant something more agressive go with a larger lip spoiler I have the INGS+1 and I think it looks great

I definitely agree, get the R-magic spoiler, especially if you're only going for looks.

I don't like the little lip spoiler with the Ings+1 Body Kit... i think it definetely needs no spoiler or the ings+1 spoiler.

BTW, your rims look real good.

stock wing looks too much like an eclipse wing for my tastes - it's like a handle bar.

MS wing is where it's at

i like the stock wing dont get me wrong but it belongs with the appearence package... that together is one hell of a package... as you have what looks like the ings front and sideS the stock arc doesnt flow with the kits.. i personally like the MB spoiler(which im planning on getting) or the MS would look pretty good. IMO
