Default Stock SS Wing?!? Need HELP!

Hey everyone,

I really need some help, ive bought and put alot of work into painting and buffing out my Wings West Commando Wing. I get ALOT of critisem about it all the time! "Its too ricey, its too tall its to import" Well I was going for my own style, and I hate ricers with such a passion! This is really getting to my head. What should I do, sell my wing and get a SS wing?!?! redo it ? Tell me what you guys think!

im not a fan of it, as the camaro is more of a clean lines kind of car. It seems to only work good on wild cars, but your car sounds classy, with the C5 rims, and ww grill insert.

but a stock SS wing is nice, and so is the 96-97 SS wing, to give a unique appearance.

I like the RK sport custom spoiler (5 inch SS monte carlo like look) or the

roadster spoiler would look great on top of the stock spoiler.
just do a

search for RKsport.com

Seth, the rest of the car looks cool, but the rear spoiler just doesn't quite go with the car. It kinda' makes it look like a 1960 Cadillac. I would go with the SS spoiler or some of the others that people have recommended. Other than that the car looks good. Nice work.

i agree with sawedoff, the spoiler doesnt fit the lines of the car. if it were mine i would get either a 96-97 SS spoiler or an SLP ultra Z spoiler. by the way, its look like you did a very nice job of painting the car yourself

nope, the cowl hood wouldn't offset a clear "break in body lines" as that spoiler makes. Sorry man, ditch the thing and get an SS spoiler!

You'd be going even further out on a limb than where you are currently at. To offset the cost of the new spoiler, you could try to sell it on eBay. Since you already no how to prep and paint yourself, the new spoiler would be no problemo.
