Ok guy's I have an aluminum wing on mine( fully ajustable), it is exactly the one on the green eclipse in the fast and the furious. This is going out to Dickster223 strictly from experience.

I don't know about you guys but fiberglass wings are old school they are a thing of the past, aluminum is in now, not fiberglass wing, seems to me that aluminum wing are more expensive if you get a good kind. Aluminum wings don't look bad like I said the other wings are played out, although I will tell you this, look you won't be dissapointed with how your aluminum wing looks but they are heavy and your trunk will probably not support the weight when it's open (you'll have to hold it open, I have to with mine) I know that sucks but I look at it this way ( at least it'll be harder for people to steal my Pheonix Gold Amp and 15' speakers they're bolted on to my frame anyway) Anyway gettting back to the subject, I do have to say that aluminum wings rattle more than the fiberglass.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that fiberglass and aluminum have their good and bad characteristics but here's something that you might consider about an aluminum wing, Aluminum wings are 95% universal if you buy one and don't like it you van easily sell it to someone, and if you ever sell your car, you can put your old wing on your car and still put your aluminum on your new car. Trsut me you have more options with the wing eg. differernt style, adjustable, universal, I tried my wing on my sister honda civic and that sh&t looked tight!

Hope this helped.

I would have to go with DonMagicJuan on this...the aluminum wings are definitly a more logical approach. If you don't like it you can adjust it, sell it, or put it on a different car without any problems. I am all for the aluminum wings i love em. I like the fiberglass wings but i like to be different. biggrin.gif
