Bish loves wingless. I think it's because I'm so use to cobalts having a wing. It just makes them look so clean. I'm also all for it when you can change it back if you don't like it. Why not try something new?

Stay winged.

The back end of the car looks awkward without the wing. Plus in technical terms, you are removing some of the down force from your car at higher speeds when you take the wing off.

^^You don't honestly believe that big floppy thing is functional in that sense do you? It just provides drag and an aesthetic appeal...that's it.

idk without the wing the car looks too base, u know? i personally love how the high rise makes the car look, i think it brings the back with the front end and just completes the cars slick profile. it sucks how flimsy it is, and it IS useless aerodynamically speaking, but which street car's wing isnt lol.

what i plan to do on mine is get the carbon fiber insert to replace the center portion and poke out on the sides, should look hellatight

In InsideLine's review they stated that the high rise spoiler "Provides additional downforce" over the low rise spoiler. Thats just where I gather my information from, so I could be wrong.

Really, I'm back and forth on the wingless thing. I almost want to buy a wingless trunk lid and switch back and forth between them. However, thats a nice chunk of money gone, so I'm not sure.

my highrise bounces up and down while doing 120 km/hr(80 m/hr). That tells me that it has no downforce value

I think that's the same auto guide that said the Neon SRT4's wing was "functional"

I drove behind a buddy of mine with the high rise for about a half hour back to his place once...I actually kind of came to like it a lot. As far as OEM setups (lowrise, wingless, high rise) I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.
