My wing is no longer, now thinking of new wings, need suggestions

My unique wing is no longer, the material used to make the wing is too fragile, and I can't think of anyway (or my body shop) to fix the wing...

So im thinking of putting other wing on. Here are some photos of the wings.

GT PRO Wing Spoiler


APR performance adjustable wing (too expensive, but i'll just post here and see if anyone can find a replica of this)


Wing from RX-8 (i think similar design to APR?)


Slice style wing


Aluminum Wing


Please give me suggestions guys =)

imho, use this opportunity to put the money you would spend on a wing to instead have the the holes in your trunk/hatch filled and then re-painted.

i unequivocally vote for "no wing"

yeah.. I don't know about the wing. What about investing the money in a carbon fiber hood that you've been thinking about for some time? That way, you don't need to vinyl wrap anything, and you can get a real CF hood

If you're hell bent on putting another wing on it, go with something that matches the body stylings a little better. Because of the C-coupe's shape, I suggest looking into some drift spoilers that you can have painted and mold well with the rear of the car. I think the Renntech spoiler looks great on the coupe, but if you want something that's "custom", find a drift wing that matches.

The wing from the CLK DTM.

Its similar to those aluminum/CF wings, yet not as obnoxious looking.

The wing from Celica GT might look good, same style car, small hatch with a lot of slope on the hatch.

CF hood doesn't look great on my car, or on silver car, so i have to pass on that.

I gotta put a wing on my car before the up coming show, my car ain't gonna get any trophie this time without my wing!!

I agree with drex... Renntech is the best lip spoiler I've seen for the Coupe.

The slicer on the black RX8, depending on the angle of the curve, might be the best as it may follow the curve of the rear decklid of the coupe. My .02 €, since $ .02 aint worth nothing no more .

Powa - you srue you can't get one like it, but stronger, or reinforce the current one somehow? Opening myself up to further abuse, you might look into something like Line-X or some other spray-on product that would strengthen your wing without having to get all F&F with another type of win.

Hmmmm Ive always liked the APR wings. . . but on S2K's and such. The coupe doesnt seem like the kind of car to accomodate large wings cause the way its shaped. But for show, maybe that slice style might hit it off pretty well.

Oh and why were you even considering that aluminum wing

not voting because I don't think C-coupe looks good with a giant wing. they may look good on some JDM sports cars, but doesn't mean they work on EVERY car.

I think the Renntech or AMG lip spoliers on the coupe look the best - anyone know where you can buy these for the '03 and how much?

I'm not too fond with any of the provided wings, but I'm sure you're really set on those wings and those alone, so I'll vote for the sliced wing.

What happened to your current one?

this guy eric had a lorinser prototype spoiler on the coupes, it looks great!

IMO, the renntech spoilers look the best on the coupes.

Powa, if you can work around that, and custom mold it, or extend the wing a bit, it would be pretty sweet
