I would lose the wing. Personally, I don't like wings at all, especially the huge aluminum ones that make a car look utterly ridiculous. I have seen cars that are just bad ass, but then I see a pointless shopping cart wing and it just kills it. Also, I'm w/EZ, our cars look so much cooler without them.

go with a wing that only attaches to the hatch, this way it won't be a lot of welding/repainting/$$$.

I would keep a spoiler. They help even out the whole sports car appearance. Cars need a front, sides, top, back and spoiler. It just looks..... complete? Thats why I dont like convertibles, you lose so much of the car's overall shape.

But yeah, I think a spoiler, no matter which one, helps even out the car and give a sporty look. Also, people do so much to put spoilers on, from buying it to painting and mounting. You'd be spending money to take it off and shave the holes. Paying money to LOSE something from the car, not gain. I mean, if you didnt have a spoiler in the first place, I bet youd want one then.....

I got banned for being a constant tard.

I like the stock turbo spoiler but with your car so modified, I would say no wing. Those big wings just make me lose respect for a car because of how ridiculous and non-functional it is, especially for a FWD.
