So with my Hatchback, I've noticed that is pretty hard to see when your reversing in the parking lot and such, because the seats sit so low and the rear of the car is so high and groved. Now, the thing is do you guys who own a supra style wing have troubles trying to reverse? I wanted to get a supra style wing and I want to know b4 I ended up putting my stock wing back on.

I have a fairly big wing, but typically I don't have to look directly out of my back window to do anything, including reversing the car. All you need is the side mirrors and turning your head to check your blindspots. In other words, the wing should not matter.

I had a supra wing on, and it wasn't hard at all... worst case scenario, u have to try and look around the wing by going up or down.

I also have a Supra Style wing and i agree with Jaws4God.....i can actually see right under the wing as if it is not even there because it follows the roof line......never had a problem backing up....

As for my location, I live right in the middle of the freakin' state - its 3 hrs to philly, 3 hrs to pittsburgh.. (actual miles: 305 from p to p; 159 to pitt for me; 169 to philly for me) Those pics are pretty decieiving, but once I finish up my car.. I'll be showing it everywhere
