everytime I go to our Nor Cal meets, and see the modded wingless GS's, I always start to think I want to go wingless. I think though that if I change out from the stock, it would be for 3pc spoiler or one of those m3-style lips.

I like the look of wingless plus it's a lot easier to keep that rear clean and shiny without the wing in the way. Now a nice molded in 3 piece might change my opinion.

I only like the GS wingless when lowered for some reason.

I can see that you are lowered, so I say go wingless.

If you take the wing off, u could just bondo the holes or whatever, but i have no experience with filling in connection holes, so im not sure... But, about the roof spoiler without trunk spoiler... would it look good with JUST a roof spoiler, or would it look better as a set?

If it's lowered, then wingless.

wow. got lots of replies. i do agree wingless does look good when car is lowered. and when looking at the picture my eyes does tend to look at the top one more. simple is better!!

i guess wingless it is!! i will take off the wing maybe tomorrow morning if i can wake up in time.

as for how to plug the holes up. i was thinking of using some nuts and bolts to maybe plug the holes. i'll try that out first and go from there. if the bolts dont look right i will maybe think about bondo.. i dont want to have to go through the trouble of bondo and repaint... what if i want to put the spoiler back on...

Thanks guys!!

i will update tomorrow.
