I might be misremembering but I could have sword I saw a post a few years back of someone frankensteining one of those wings on the back of our cars. To each their own but I don't think it looked good. It works well with the rx but its too tall for our cars.

I love the FD3S RX-7 Spirit R but that wing on an SC/Soarer...? It doesn’t flow very well on these lines. Moreover unless the SC is being set up as a track-only time attack or Formula D style racecar I just don’t think overly pronounced wings look very good On SC’s.

In my opinion the OEM 92-96 and 97-00 style wings (or similar aftermarket) are about as aggressive as one should get without beginning to overwhelm the overall design aesthetic of the car.

The fact that this car looks good both wingless and with both style factory wings is testament to core lines and style it inherently has.

One of the things I like about the SC - as opposed to the Supra - is the lack of obvious wing on the back. Unless you're drag racing or trying to impress your hot girlfriend, a wing is almost useless. (Don't even get me started on the people with FWD cars who have attached massive wings to the back.)

doesnt flow at all with the body. its not going to look good unless you have a widebody and an aggressive wheel setup. stock body with that wing...nope dont recommend it.
