Combat Wing: yay or nay?

[2004formula]

well, as summer draws to a close and the 8 month winter season here in WI starts soon : ) i need things to keep me busy. the tranny will be replaced, and i will continue on improving my engine bay. however i do have one aching question: the combat wing...is it for me???

also, anyone with knowledge of it, do the mount holes happen to coincide with the hoop spoiler mount holes? (i know it's a long ass shot) if at all possible, i am considering finding some kind of colored foam inserts for the quarter panel mounts so i am able to switch back and forth between the two (just because i can.) so...opinions?

[caswell239]

dunno about the mounting but my OP is keep the hoop, i think it makes it look sexier

If you get a real combat wing (steel) I'd do it, but if you can't, keep the hoop.

The holes don't even come close to lining up lol. But you should definitely do it, the hoop spoiler =

I'm a big fan of the hoop, especially with that GORGEOUS color on your car. It looks so smooth yummy...

I say keep the hoop.

You will have holes in your rear fenders if you switch. If you dont plan on fixing them up, or even repainting the rear fenders, I would say nay, considering your paint is practically brand new.

repainting isnt a big problem seeing as how the wing would have to be painted anyways. plus there are a lot of spots that could probably use a respray after close inspection.

just lookin for things to do...i got nuthin but spare time.

go different.

buy an n/a 91-96 wing. cut the ends off it. mount it where the center of the hoop is & leave the side pieces in place. fiberglass the center wing to cap it off on both ends.

viola! a cheap hsx style spoiler.




p.s.

ok, so it's a "little" more complex than this...but i've been thinking about doing something like this for a while....

Thread title stealer!

compat all the way. Form+Function = win-win. The hoop may be pretty, but the 99 wing will match the aggressiveness of the frontend of your car, and will be much more functional than a hoop
