Hey I could really use some ideas for a wing i can't decide if I want a racing wing or a fiberglass one. Any pics or suggestions would be helpful. Maybe even some pros and cons of both of them. Thanks inadvance

I'd definitely say fiberglass, but that's just because I don't like the aluminum wings at all in most cases.

Aluminum Wings
Pros:
- Doesn't require paint before installation
- Generally cheaper

Cons:
- Doesn't look very good(this is just my opinion though)
- Almost always requires new holes to be drilled right in the middle of your trunklid

Fiberglass Wings
Pros:
- To me, these wings look so, so much better than aluminum wings
- Often uses the same holes as your factory wing(if you've got one)

Cons:
- Generally more expensive
- Does require painting before installation on the car

Hope this helps you out a bit. I can't stress how much better fiberglass wings look in comparison with aluminum wings in my opinion, but ultimately, it comes up to what you want on your car, not what anyone else wants. smile.gif
