I see lots of stage 3 kits and the stage 3 center adjustable wicker. Stage 3 is kinda extreme for me so I am interested in the stage 2 wings and a light tinted center wicker. I cannot seem to find the stage 2 center wicker. Does the stage 3 work by just lowering it all the way?

I keep mine all the way down for street driving. It sits roughly 1" below the sides in that position. Each position is 1/2" up or down.

are there any pictures of stage 1 vs 2 vs 3 side by side to get an idea of how different they all are?

Stage 2 & 3 use the same "tall" winglets. (They are the same)
When you add the center wicker this is "stage 3"
So, what you describe is stage 3 anyway.

Stage 1 uses the short winglets.

The center wicker can be a problem when you want to use the rearview mirror. When I took delivery of my car the dealer had the center wicker installed in the full-up position. I drove home on a rainy night and that center wicker constantly interfered with the view in the mirror. With all of the rain, it became sort of cloudy. The next day I still noticed the view reduction even though it wasn't raining anymore so I lowered the wicker to the bottom of its adjustment range (about 1 inch) and the view was much better. However, taking it all the way off and going with a Stage 2 setup is much better.

A tinted wicker would be worse than clear from a visibility standpoint. Leave it clear and take it off except when on the track.

Stage 2 is the best option I decided on, gives more aggressive look in the back with nothing in the center.
stage 1 is basically a straight across spoiler, stage 2 adds tallness on the sides.

Here's mine lowered all the way down, maybe an inch, that's it.
Yes, rear visibility is pretty bad but I like the look so I leave it on all the time.

Shokwav

is that the tinted version?

OK, thanks guys. I guess some of the aftermarket 2.5 winglets is what I am interested in. Hight is between the stage 1 and 2/3. I guess I could go with the 2/3 winglets and chop them down some carefully. LOL

@Shokwav yes, it's the tinted version.

Since stage 3 uses the exact same tall winglets as stage 2 (just with longer screws to hold the center wicker), I would think something called a stage 2.5 winglet would be even larger (taller) than OEM stage 3.
I have an aftermarket stage "3.5" rear setup and its quite a bit taller than the OEM stage 3 setup. (See photo below.)

I see a lot of these for sale online with inaccurate descriptions. (Calling stage 2 stage 3 and vice versa as well as describing the winglets as wickers etc.)

Yea MCK. There is a lot of confusion as to what is what on the rear aero.
