    Default Hey guys, I need your opinions again. Lots of pics, sorry.

    I've always wanted this carbon fiber hatch lip and finally found a great price on it that was too good to pass up. Anyways, I test fitted it yesterday and after seeing it in person it didn't have the same effect I thought it would. I'm 50/50 about keeping it or selling it. That's when you guys come in. What do you guys think, does it flow with the look or take away from the stock lines?










    Thanks.

    I think you should keep 1 or the other. 2 wings = Rice It looks good but not with both on @ the same time.

    I gotta agree. The big wing has already "destroyed" the fluidity of the stock lines on the car. I personally would ditch the big one. I never did understand why people eliminated the factory Supra wing in favor of the bulky ones.

    Before you even think anymore about the wing, you need to blur/cover your plate #'s in those pics.

    Why are you concerned about the stock lines when you have a massive wing? It would look great if you got rid of the wing and kept the lip.

    I'm not an expert on Supras but wasn't a large wing needed for that car?? It came with a pretty big one stock.

    I don't think you need to duck bill under the wing though. What purpose does it serve?

    I wanted to pull the stock wing off my GTO but since I regularly drive into triple digits a friend of mine recommended leaving it on, since it was a functional device. Might be the same deal on the Supra. Even light rear lift can be noticeable at speeds as low as 115 mph. I do that at least once a day.

    Alright, it's not going on then. It is too much with the TRD wing already there. Btw, the TRD wing isn't that massive, it's the same height and base as the stock wing, it's just the close-up angles that make it look huge.

    Thanks for the inputs.

    Your poll needs a third option:

    * Hatch lip isn't even noticeable thanks to that picnic table you have back there.

    Seriously, I'd put that money to better use.

    Or, as other have suggested, ditch the picnic table and keep the duckbill.
