Low rise or wingless?

I like the wingless look but do you wingless guys ever think that people notice the car less without it? I feel like people that don't particularly know much about cars but still notice nice cars would notice the cobalt less if it was wingless. I get compliments all the time on my car but wonder if the general public, including girls that love my car now, but don't know **** will notice the car less without a wing because they don't see a "sporty spoiler". Sounds dumb but it makes sense. Do you guys think that people will still think its sporty?

the spoiler is just a mating call for ricers to want to race you. lol. i hate the spoilers looks tbh and they arent functional in any way. wingless is the only way. looks cleaner and everything. makes your car look more like a sleeper too

Low rise doesn't entice racers. Less people noticing the car = good thing.

all depends on ur style man. getting noticed if fine as long as you obey all traffic laws, etc. but if you dont, you wont want to be "noticed" by the boys in blue will you? try to do something that will look good but still help you blend. i vote wingless

Personally i like the high rise the best but i say keep the spoiler. Don't like the look of wingless at all. Makes the car look unfinished IMO

I bought mine specifically because it didn't have the wing on it. I'm a fan of understatement.

I agree with you. Wingless =

Black cars that are lowered look ok wingless, but that's it. (in my opinion)

These cars look way to boring/bland without a rear spoiler. Sorry.

The only downfall of the highrise is it does attract asshats. Yes, it blocks the rear view a little bit, but I learned how to drive on dump trucks so I always use my side view mirrors to back up anyways.

Actually, that is not totally true. The high rise is some what functional in a track environment. It's been discussed on here before with actual results.

I voted wingless. Looking to do so myself but I can't seem to find a spare trunk to do it. It don't to remove the low rise from mine so I can keep everything stock in case I sell at some point. Might have to go CF trunk

I thought it was proved that the low rise was more functional then the high rise.
