Yeah, if you have the hatchback, it looks alright spoilerless, but if you have the coupe IMO, I think you should have bare minimum the stock spoiler. It just looks like wasted space.

Such haters in this thread.

Who gives a flying fudge in the end. I think its looks alright, I don't give much about the performance because...well. I'm not trying to get to work, or home in 10th of a second intervals. Its retarded to even get that heated and talk down to somebody bout a wing/spolier (<---For the haters, yes I read the thread)

You either beat the ****ty honda civic next to you, or you don't. The wing/spoiler isn't gunna make a damn.

I've had a couple people comment on my GT4 wing being huge and obnoxious but as far as I'm concerned if it came on the car from the factory I will rock it all day.

There's my non-contribution to the thread

^^^ ****'s ricey, doesn't matter if its stock or not. same as a stock supra wing, fake hood scoop on stock mustangs, fake side scoops on tiburons, etc. my opinion of course, don't black out.

GT4 wing was proven to improve downforce over the stock wing, resulted in a top speed of 20kph less. If I could find the link to that article again, I would link you to it.

In short, yes, it works, unlike just about every other aftermarket rice wing you can think of. Toyota designed the Supra wing to be functional, not decorative.

You do know this thread died in 2008 that would be almost 2 YEARS AGO! and I like stock spoilers on our cars due to the fact that their stock.

Isn't the whole idea of downforce only applicable to cars w/rear wheel drive though? So for the Supra, or the GT-Four, the downforce would be beneficial, but w/FWD cars, I thought downforce was pretty useless.
