I'm deciding whether or not I should go wingless, and I'd like to see what you guys have. Influence my decision to go through with it!

I prefer spoiler/wingless. I am rolling like that now and it feels pretty good.

do you think that spoilers really do anything aerodynamically, I know if they did, it would be very minor but i wonder if there is a slight difference.

well since you have a drop it really doesnt matter. i say go get some white bathroom plug thingys and plug 'em up when you feel like it and throw on the spoiler when you wanna fell bad ***. i take off my spoiler every weekend to detail the whole car. it only takes like 5 mins even less if you dont be really careful

i was thinking of looking for a red 'spoilerless' hatch and just swap hatch doors whenever i felt like going spoilerless... might be too costly though.. lol

Did you plug up your holes or are you just leaving them open? I bought some flat/rounded end bolts and a washer. I used tape to keep them from sliding near the end and used a nut to tighten them.

Spoilerless was something I was never too excited about from looking at pictures, but once I took mine off and saw it in person I liked it so much I eventually had the holes filled
   before the duckbill

What size are your wheels (and tires) and what kind of suspension do you have? That is a perfect fill! Mine isn't like that, still got a small gap even with a 1.7" drop, 17" wheels, 215/40/17 tires. By the way GotToyota, it looks great!

Oh god that wingless silver one looks nasty...I was thinking of doing the same thing, but I don't have any other aesthetically enhancing features and was wondering if it would fit in with the rest.

I was wingless for about a week before i painted my car and hated it.
 If you do do it you gotta have a duckbill like hurleys.

Does going wingless affect the handling of the car under normal driving conditions?
I saw in another thread that the 2 post spoiler creates around 250kg of downforce (50kg w/ riser blocks), according to the Toyota engineers. |

Personally, I think the Celicas only work well wingless if they are either the coupe or have a duckbill. It helps the looks if they are dropped, too. Having said that, I'm planning to go wingless.

I was wingless for 2yrs, but im sick of that look now.
I'm going back to ST205 blocks now because i think it just makes the car look more complete. |

Your car actually sealed the deal on me taking mine off... QUOTE (Nibbe @ Oct 25, 2008 - 4:12 AM) Thats the way I wanna go for. Just dont have time to weld the holes and took the hatch for painter. Like I said in that other thread, replace the hatch with a carbon fiber version to match your hood. |
