Default sc300 GT wing or OEM?? is GT too ricey?!

I havent seen any pictures of a sc300 with a GT wing , do you guys think it is too ricey? i think that if the wing isnt too high up, it would look alright... or should i stay with oem...

has this been done before?

Has this been done before.....yes. For a good idea of what it looks like, Google "Soarer" images. Scroll through at least 50 pages to find some good stuff. Lots...no TONS of Japanese drifiting and 'tuning' cars alike are equipped with GT style wings.

As for being ricey, yes it is. Unless you actually track your car... but if you want to somewhat pull off the look of a GT Wing like it's meant to be there, generally you had better be rocking at least a bodykit, wheels & lowered. Large amounts of HP will help your arguement as well.
Just prepare to be flamed if you bolt one on to your stock beige SC.

In the end it's really your car, and you can do what you think looks good for you, and what your tastes are.

Wow. On the flipside, I bet the wing on that Yellowbird is functional.

oem 92 trunk lids are the only wings that look clean on an SC.

It depends on what body kit you have, it'll never flow with stock 97 or AC kit, look into vertex ridge or something.

If you don't need a GT wing to keep your car on the ground, don't put it on.

Honestly if it's not a track car there is no reason to have one. Go with the OEM or
remain spoilerless.

Then again, I have an Ebay plastic HIC roof wing held on by double stick tape lol.
