Default What do you think about no wing

When I was pulling off my factory wing to put on the carbon wald rep, I rather fell in love with the car without a wing. What do you guys think? Obviously I would get the holes filled and repaint.

I like it. I feel it visually pulls the rear of that down giving it a lower appearance. I say do it.

Cheaper if you trade trunk with a regular ISx50. I did that to fit my Aimgain spoiler

I think that's a lot of work having holes filled unless you trade with an is350 in your area that wants a wing. it just seems to be more work than it's worth for eliminating a small (3/4") lip spoiler.

Don't like it, ur diffuser looks so good, needs a spoiler of sort on there. With the side skirts and diffuser it just looks weird with no spoiler.

It's definitely a clean look without it. Personally, with the WALD rear diffuser, it looks a bit off without a spoiler. Maybe with a less aggressive diffuser it won't accentuate the loss of a spoiler as much.

I did this with one of my previous cars. It was nice in the beginning because it was a new different look, but after a few months I missed the spoiler. I think the same thing might happen here.

It looks pretty clean without a spoiler, it's bush league but find a couple vinyl stickers that match your car to cover the holes for a couple weeks to help decide if you like the look or not before you spend the money to make it permanent

I remember when I first bought my is250 and it didn't come with a spoiler. I wanted one so bad. I'd say keep it on. Car looks sic btw.
