Observation #1 - Soldier is a diva about the exterior of his car, and I love it. I am almost never a fan of Redfire on anything but a Cobra but you're car is the ****!
Observation #2 - Though it is good to keep her looking fresh, you gotta work on the inside too. When you throwing an intercooler on?
I am not a fan at all of the wingless look. I think it just leaves the rear end looking distorted and half-clothed. Plus you are removing some stability that is never a surplus with these heavy coupes. If ya wanna change wings, I like a conservative Cobra wing or S281 or somethin. The stock one is close to looking ricer as it is IMO.

The only time i like wingless, is A) if its a bullitt or B) if its DSG and has the right accents to pull it off like blacked out tail lights, meaty tires, dark tinted windows... and its gotta be done proper with it being filled in and painted. the plastic cap trick is great for temporary fixes or for a bit of a change without being permanent, but c'mon really? pluggin holes with plastic caps? next thing you know people be running dryer vents for CAI's lol...
and i love the S281 wing on a saleen, but its a little too flat for my car. the cobra wing is awesome, but they're usually hard to come by and expensive, and usually either sag (same with S281 wing) or have cracked 3rd brake lights.
so for me, its easy aggressive borderline rice with the Steeda wing. i got cobra skirts inbound to my house (altho im not home, and my car is in MA), and i want to pair all that with a 2001 cobra front, with either a cowl hood or a steeda vented Q400 hood. and i'm thinkin bout painting it red
so hah! black is just too much a pain in the *** for the North East.

Ohhhh thats right. You were having fuel issues or something with those numbers in your sig I think? Cuz I just glanced at 340RWTQ and was like oh non-intercooled that can be upgraded! Lol. That intercooler does need to be dropped.

From: same as you.
Like always everyone has a different opinion. Because everyone is different.
I like the stock spoiler look. Some times I like the steeds wing only on side profiles where you can see the side plates. From behing it looks too bog for me. I might buy one to see how it looks. I think two tones it would look badass.
Doesn't aerion have the steeda wing? Might have been his car where I fell in love with it.
