Wingless w/out a drop?

Well I plan on going wingless here VERY soon.

I want to take my High Rise off and sell it to pay for my springs though.

So do you guys think it would look good wingless without the drop?

i mean it wont look bad...

usually going wingless and dropping go hand in hand because it looks amazing but selling the wing for springs is an excellent idea. get pedders or ssc springs!

Yeah we took the wing off my buddies SRT-4 the other day, just used little black vinyl circles. Can't really tell it until your right up on it.

u fishing line helps a lot too. just be careful not to scratch your car up too much. i have some but they can be buffed out. i havnt been able to fully wax the car yet since i only had it a month before i left for iraq.

pretty much. lol. it refuses to come off. also dont pull on it too much or youl have nice dents in ur trunk. but afterwards youl enjoy seeing everything out of your rearview without a big wing in the way. lol. its awesome and worth it. i plan on getting some pedders as far as the drop goes. its not a big drop but its great for performance.

Yup lol. Eventually I might take the LT off.


But honestly I like the look even without a drop. I have no plans of putting springs on my car.
