Something different.

Here's a car I saw over in my girlfriend's neighborhood. I snapped some pics of it. Looks like a wing off an eclipse or something. I saw it one day, and I knew I had to come back and snap pictures for you guys.

The first time I saw it, I saw it from behind, and it looked just awful.

This time, I obviously got some shots from the side, and it doesn't look as bad. I think it's the way the wing is angled that makes it look some damn horrid.

that spoiler might look somewhat decent if it was a little lower...

Man that spoiler is way ugly. I think its funny how we catch pix of peoples cars without them knowing. I dont even think an import guy would want that.

I'm not really a fan of big "shopping cart" wings. I like my factory 91 Z-28 wing and thats plenty big enough.

What would look better on that particular car is the 3 piece 5 in. IROC wing. If my car didn't come with the wing that it did, then the IROC 5 in. wing would be on my car.

That wing looks like it was taken off from the Supra. The Eclipse Hi-Arc wings are much shorter.

wings.. well.. wings are an easy way to ruin a car. There are some that look like they should be there, whether I like them or not, is irrelevent. Some, dont look horrible, some look really bad.

This one IMO looks really bad. the form of the spoiler doesnt fit the lines of the car.

The '99+ Mustang spoilers don't look to bad on third gen birds... I didn't save any of the pics that were posted though.

Whatever happened to installing parts that made thirdgens look good?

I think the modern spoilers (high ricers) are overdone. I'd like to see something out of the late '60s early 70s where the spoiler scoops high off the back of the car like on a 72 RS.
