One bad thing about taking off the wing though is it wears off some of the paint on your hood. It doesnt look to attractive

Hood? You probably mean trunk, right?

Anyway, what if you just swapped with a silver base 2dr with no wing and changed out the locks in the back (so you could still use your key to open your trunk), that way there are no signs of there ever being a wing there. Thats what I want to do.

keep your wing, it finishes the trunk area. without it you look like a saturn redline with cobalt lights. personally i wish they didnt even offer a wing option now. the SS/SC wing shouldve been strictly for the SC cobalt only, i hate wannabe's.

Looking at your gallery i saw your old J-body and i had the exact same car. Mine was a Z-24 but came with the LS sport ground effects and ls chrome wheels , same color outside and in as yours . Did you ever see another one like ours ? I never did . They were the very last Z-24's produced . Later

bro, I would keep it on. I think they look good with the rksport 3 piece, but I like the stock wing better.

I can't explain it but the wing is part of what makes it stand out, IMO.

Keep it.

Plus less of a heat score not to mention being able to see the heat in rearview.

^^^^You sound like motortrend magizine . My tint is more of a visual block than the spolier as well it keeps headlights out of ur eyes at night.


Sexy - agreed there is a certain appeal to it. Once again can't explain it well, I just like the wing, never did when I first bought the car but its grown on me. Only angle that bugs me is directly from behind it looks very weird, other than that I thin kit looks good.

It actually took me awhile to be able to go through with taking it off.

I've seen a couple, but they were far and few between. I loved that car, but the way GM repaired the one piston and put the block back together after the piston cracked did not suit my fancy. I stripped her the best I could and traded her in on my Tacoma, only later to return to the sport compact scene. It was a sad day because that blue is my favorite color, and I loved the lines on that car. If I ever have to repaint my SS, Indigo Ink Pearl it will be!

Sorry about the interruption, I say strip the spoiler already! It takes the heat off like Matty was saying, and being silver further promotes blending in.

You know man, I gotta be honest. I like them both.. BUT with yours being silver, I say keep it on man. Might I suggest you debadge that thing and just slap a CSS.net sticker on your three-quarter panel. That would look the best IMO.

And slam that bitch with some wheels, and I would be totally jealous of your car.

But after all, it's your car bro. Do what YOU like.
