Default 99-00 WING BACK MOD - Opinionators welcome!

so I'm planing on doing the "move the wing back mod" finally tomorrow! I've thought long and hard and thought it would look a lot sharper, and can beat the "Freebie" Mod. so I'm deciding on moving it back, or ALL The way back. only thing about moving it all the way back, since the wing is not totally alined with the shape of the trunk, it overlaps the lip on both sides. I'm thinking about just doing All the way baby .... any opinions!?

stock, halfway, and all the way back


halfway


all the way.

Move it halfway back, that's where I have mine and I think it looks about the best.

All the way or go home!!
No water won't get in your trunk, any water will go in the gutter if it did.
The only problem you will have is it will leave rings of wear and tan lines where the old spoiler was that have to be taken care of, I had my body shop buff mine out when I had it painted.

Also, with it all the way moved back, the edges of the wing will overlap the trunk lines which looks tacky IMO. Halfway back and the edge of the wing is flush with the trunk lines.
