Default Would u guys hate me if i bought this...

C5R wing... i don't know if its too ricer type, etc.. but i kinda like it. my goal is to make my car the C5R "Replica"... got the motor, lights, front lip (well sorta), need a hood and side ground effects..this wing will help me finish it up...

so what do u guys think? from Ecklers site.


thoughts, comments are all appreciated and encouraged!

That looks like the tail on Free *****.

There's a good reason why God put those on Humpback whales and not Vettes.

I want one of those tales right there

Imagine the downforce it would create.........I could drive upsidedown in a tunnel at fast enough speeds.

Run, do not walk, away from this wing-thing. If you must have one, check out the subtle style of the low-profile spoilers out there...I think Carvaggio makes one that looks kinda cool on a Vette...

No wings, go for the "lips" that just stick out off the corner edge of the rear end or flip up just a bit like the tiger shark lip.
