big wing spoiler?

[SIMONGUEY]

wing spoilers just don't seem to fit the lines of the car. They always look so out of place. But if the car is like that rendering, I think it looks pretty good. At least from that angle. But it needs all the other stuff to go with it to make it fit. The widebody, air suspension, wheels with perfect fitment, front splitter, etc. Without all of that other stuff, it just doesn't look right to me. But its your car, so if you like it, that's all that matters

Definitely needs all the other parts to really put it all together! spoiler is going to be the last thing I add onto the car mainly because they don't exactly have one for the stinger yet. only in this rendering. I've seen some universal trunk spoilers but don't exactly know if they will fit just yet.

Lowered with a body kit, it will at least work aesthetically. But is it needed? Unlikely. Even with upgraded handling bits, the car weighs too much to ever corner enough to need the down force. The transmission gearing will limit any downforce needs on the upper end.

IMO this is a ricer addon for the car. I'd focus on getting the handling and engine where you want it, then spend the money on gas/enjoy it. Heck, get the paint fixed and a vinyl/Xpel wrap (or ceramic coat) instead.

definitely not needed. just something I personally want on the car. most definitely will tune up the car and get all the paint correct on the car before buying the spoiler. spoiler will most likely be the last thing I add onto the car because I doubt it will need downforce at all. paint will come once I get the wide body kit installed so it's all painted correctly.

I like it.

Other low mount options...

Nope…Nope. The car in the photo looks ridiculous. What we used to refer to as “a JC Whitney Special”. I was always more of a sleeper kind of guy. It’s more fun not to show everyone what you’ve got until you decide to let them see it, ya know? To my mind all those body mods are just excess weight. I’d rather put the money into the motor and suspension.

Strong advice. HP and lower temps first.

OUCH!!! I really didn’t need to see that.

Or, get your inner crazy on....

So what if you really have no need for 500 brake horsepower and your temps are fine ?

I'm just saying, we all have different needs and tastes and many people on here couldn't handle the FACTORY power if used in full and would prefer instead to apply vynal wrap, or a wing, or different wheels etc.

Some people want the factory ride quality over springs and sway bars. That too is OK.

OK so some of my wing offerings are somewhat tongue in cheek, but hey, we're all different with different needs and wants. If we were all the same the world would be boring.

My old R32 used to look a lot like this (minus the stickers and HKS logo & different wheels etc).


Some people hated the look but most loved it. For me, it was pure lust every time I walked into the garage.

Go for it James!

On God!!

The last car I owned had a wing from the factory and I removed it and installed a bob-tail. I got so much flack from the forum members for doing this (not that I really cared). But the guy who purchased the car from me fell in love at first sight. Go figure....

I do like the trunk-mounted wings! chasse mounted ones look cool also but very extra! lol.

it will indeed be extra weight! that is for sure but it's going to be one of the last things I do to the car. first comes a good cooling system and motor mods of course! def need the power to back up the look even more. the wing will come later after the performance is there and a new paint job is applied to the car.

def going to need some speed holes and yellow parts to increase my HP!

I'd get vortex generators over the rear window if it would improve economy or performance. It came with a wing but I would not have added a wing to the car unless it improves economy or performance, or if one really tickled my fancy, but not at the expense of performance or economy. I would be tempted to add more ground effects or rear diffuser for styling, but not at the expense of performance or economy. I would sacrifice economy but not performance for a wide-body kit (that is, a proper one that replaces the existing fenders and is fully incorporated into the body, not tacked-on to the existing fenders).

 

[AusStinger]

OK, so you have to use your imagination a bit here. Imagine it sitting a bit lower and no M&S duck-bill fitted.
This is just for those who're considering a wing.

BTW, this is the wing I'm installing on a customers car ( against my better judgement due to the build quality ).

We should stick to posting pictures of wings on Stingers... some of these wings look fantastic on their respective cars but would be far too "Ricer" for our Stingers... personally I only think a handful of wings and spoilers would look good on the Stinger... just my 2 cents

 

[RM7]

In general, I dislike non-purposeful mods unless they are slight or very tasteful, this means I don't like wild body kits, ground effects, slammed non-functional suspension, the biggest possible wheels crammed in the wells, etc. This stuff usually affects performance so negatively that it just defies belief for me that people drive around all day with this stuff on their car. I like tuning that actually achieves something, or just light tasteful stuff. When the rest of the car doesn't "back it up" it just ends up looking like a clown-car IMO. Like there's a guy on my block with a V6 carger, he's got all sorts of body kit stuff on it, caliper covers, a splitter with the little rods to "hold it in place", just ridiculous stuff. Also like how people will put giant alloy wheels on cars with dinky brakes and even drum rear brakes. It just ends up looking ridiculous without some decent brake rotor/caliper in there to fill the area. When I had my WRX, I didn't do anything to the outside. I did stuff to the engine and powertrain, but even the Borla exhaust was pretty normal-looking, not a bit fart-pipe like you see on some of the WRXs. That's where people would be putting outrageous size exhaust tubes that were far beyond what their actual HP called for...or any HP they could ever hope to get out of the engine.

So far, I have the simple side skirts (and mud flaps) to help cut down on any road crap thrown up by the tires, 8.5" wide aftermarket wheels with 255 tires (more traction), the black lip spoiler (mainly for the black trim that kind of matches my other car) and that's it. I'm on the fence about getting my hood wrapped like what my other car came with OEM, but giant spoilers, slammed suspension, huge splitters, widebody fenders...I just don't get the point.

There are only like 3 or 4 different pics of stinger with wings on them out there ( AFAIK ).

It's only through trying new things that we find new solutions.

And one thing I've come to realize is that if you do something that's different and you love what you've done, don't post pics of it up on any forum unless you've got really thick skin. People are very brave behind a keyboard.

I agree with you. I like purposeful and tasteful mods ( excluding my current exhaust tips which are meant to challenge the white bread mentality ) but as the saying goes, to each their own.

Years ago I had a Vietnamese Uni ( College ) student approached me to do some work on his car. I tried to steer him away from some of his ideas and towards something less but he had his heart set on a specific look. I did it all and he was CHUFFED ! I cringed at what I'd done but he was so happy.

I say, if you want your Stinger to look like it's ready to line up for the Pikes Peak run, go for it.

I'm just trying to help each individual car owner go from car love to car lust.
