In another video he says it shakes scarily above 70mph so get ready to enjoy a lack of safety for you and those driving in your vicinity. If it doesn't fly off catastrophically, though, you can expect reduced highway fuel efficiency and a greatly reduced top speed....

But I do think it looks cool sitting still. In this particular case, I have shamed my inner ricer into minding it's own business. It would probably be prudent for you to do the same.

.....It looks cool though.

Since you are only going for looks, get the smallest one that looks good to you. A "non-performance" spoiler is just extra drag and a bigger wing means more drag.

The mounting area on the hatch is not all that sturdy and a taller wing puts more stress on that area - keep it short.

That guy has a wing and below it has the OEM spoiler LOL. I watch his videos a lot and I am not sure if they installed that correctly.

I know about wings having drag but I didn't know about the mounting area is not all sturdy. Thanks for this!

I'd say Ings+1 or Sunline if you want a GT wing.

If you had absolutely no other option I would choose the first selection. The double decker style just looks even worse in my opinion.

Before I read this thread, I was going to say that I like to go with a Garlic Parmesan or Spicy Barbecue for my wing choice. With the "ricer" style wing choice, I'd say none of them.

However, it's your car, so whatever you want to do with it will be your choice...

Those wings will look cheap and out of place, especially if the car is stock. Wheels and suspension would make the car drastically look better without ruining it.
