Default Thoughts on Whale Tail

Okay so i've owned my SC300 for 21 months now and done absolutely no modding since getting it running. It's bone stock. Frankly I'm sick of this and wanting to start progress. My 1JZGTE ships monday and after that I'm officially considering it on. I have 1993 but want to change things around so I'm asking for your thoughts on the various whale tails for our cars, pics if you have them, and if they're still available or if you even think our car looks good with a whale tail at all

I like these cars wingless, but to each their own. If you want a wing, stick one on there and be happy.

Clean and simple, no wing needed. Save the money for coilovers or some beefy wheels and tires to get the power to the ground

my two cents...go wingless or a bit smaller. the wangan wing is nice, but not my style for a lex...if you like it-then go for it. after all it's your car...GL, keep us posted either way.

"Whale Tail" originated from the huge turbo wing on the original 911 turbo
