Wussup with everybody hatin on wings., I dont understand that at all. Can someone enlighten me please? Options

[Lil-Joe101]

So reading through these forums I see alot of people aren't too fond of wings and spoilers. My question is why? Why all the hate on them, am I missing out on something, enlighten please.

[Remy]

Thats because our cars (6thgen celica) looks better to "most" people here spoilerless thats all. IMO if your going spoilerless you should have a nice rear lip/splitters/extensions to go with it.

I happen to like wings. now ofcourse not the tacky metal ones, but i do admire most wings when i get the money i plan on purchasing either the TRD wing, or a supra style wing...not sure which one yet...decide when the time comes i suppose

[Lil-Joe101]

I tend to find spoilers as a great accent to our cars.

yeah...800 doll hairs....about that...haha..thats hard to come by when you are still in highschool.... i'm workin my ass off this winter,i have 3 jobs for the winter..my goal is to save up around 3 grand by graduation in may so i can purchase a 3sgte

[Lil-Joe101]

Good luck with that. I hope it works out for ya, I truely mean that.

If the wing fits, so be it. But one, I think spoilerless is fine...Joe, your wing works fine on your car, but I would never put it on my own. Either wingless, maybe GT-Four, or maybe something else that's tasteful. But most "big" wings I'm not into.

[Cutrara]

Wings are great... who cares what anyone else thinks. I'm thinking about getting gt-four blocks or a TRD Wing. I think I might go spoilerless for the winter though... Snow and ice builds up and its hard to see out the back.

Don't let anyone breath on this thread wrong or it will get closed

wings give off downforce which pushed the back of your car down at high speeds giving you more grip. but thats only with RWD and AWD. with FWD it will give u less grip at high speeds.

[Akirad1]

To each his own when it comes to wings, but i think you spoiler looks nice a little bulky for me but im not gonna dog you on it cause your car looks a 1000 times better than mine. if i would to get another spoiler besides my stock one id get either the c-one/hiro/trd style or the c-one razor style wing. Just like D-man i like his vert to and hes got a Razor wing on it.

[808celica]

i tried going on the touge with and without the wing..........

i feel safer with the wing on its heavy and helps my back end from sliding out, I DONT KNOW WHY????

spoiler delete......just makes the car feel different FTL

i like the spoiler the way it is, im the only one on Hawaii that has this set up in all black. taking it off and no one will know its me

[playr158]

spoilers/wings tend to be looked down on because most are pointless ugly things that are non functional. like the wingr the op has serves no functional purpose. some thought out setups do provide better stability while cornering. a correctly done functional wing will go through the trunk and mount to the physical car frame. so end all 90% think its cool and u look racer with it, but serves no actual function besides looking ugly

Playr, that's not true...it serves no functionality to our cars and FWD in general. However, most others one are purely aesthetic as well, I'll agree with that.

[GreenyST204]

Here is what a 6gen looks like spoilerless.
and without a lip or splitters



sort of like a crushed hamburger lol

bottom line is as long as your fwd, u dont need one, i heard they actually may slightly hurt your traction a tiny little fraction of a hair lol. but they look nice as long as there not bigger than the rest of the car. personally im a fan of the stock spoilers that flow with the shape of the back but thats just me

[mitchy]

i like wings, but i also like spoiler less. coz i cant really afford to get a cool wing/spoiler i was gonna go spoilerless, sadly theres paint bubbles and stuff where my 3post mounts spoiler stays on.

just because it is fwd dos not mean the car wont benefit from a correct spoiler or wing setup...you know they work more than just in straight lines. they help in cornering abilities as well. just nobody on this site has that kind of setup. although the oem gt4 spoiler is shown to be effective to a small degree

[forkee]

then theres the spoilerless, wiperless, lightweight cf option.



some spoilers look good, but all add weight. thats my excuse.
