Is it just me or do too many new cars have wings that look like an afterthought?
The C7 ZR1, the 6th Gen ZL1 1LE & now the Civic Si after seeing it in person today. I guess Dodge is the only one that got it right with the Viper.

I feel like in terms of production car 'wings' (not to be confused with big trunk spoilers) the only ones that I have seen and liked are the Viper and ZR1. some exotics nailed it too.

@CobraBob isnt that a trunk spoiler?

The viper carries the wing really well. I don't know how it does it so well, but it looks the best to me with it on.

I feel the same way about the GT3RS.

This one also looks like an after thought, worse than many of the other examples.

For the bottom two, it is function over form. I'm not sure how functional the Honda wing is. Fast ain't always pretty.
^^This.
Plus with the new ZR1, you have the option to get the larger road race wing or the lower street style wing.

Full race car, actually being raced? Certainly if it's proven to be needed. Otherwise, I'm not a fan.
I've yet to see a wing that matches or compliments the overall body lines. Usually they clash.
Just my opinion.

I actually like the ZL1 1LE wing... I think it fits the car.
But yeah.. wing does not equal racecar!

I'd love to get a wing on my Viper. Really don't wanna drill though.
