Thoughts on a wing spoiler?

I was looking at this one

100% personal preference. If you love it, doesn't matter what we all say. Granted, others may have additional suggestions on other wings. Me, I really like the wingless look for the Stinger but, the one you listed is pretty tasteful imo.

Go big or go home.

also I think that one will block a lot of the view from the rear view mirror.

Post a couple photos of yours. I think your car has the best looking backside around!

And the Stinger already does a solid job blocking the rearview mirror without any changes at all

No. Its not a Honda Civic and i am pretty sure you arent 16.

A few other people have posted pics of wing spoilers and I think all of them disrupt the lines of the car in that you have a sharply angular wing sprouting from a sleek curvaceous rear panel. Having said that I’ll echo Kyle Gates and say it doesn’t matter a damn what anyone else thinks including me. If you like it do it. (Just don’t tell anyone.)

Man, I literally CAN'T WAIT until I get the under-body light kit for mine and post here. Watch all the "its your car but ill tell you what to do with it" haters go BONKERS! Oh its true, Its Damn true.

I appreciate all the comments.

Not for me, but if you like it that’s all that matters, IMHO if it’s fitted & finished professionally that will also make all the difference.
Enjoy your car whatever you do to it.

KDM/JDM have subcultures that embrace the extreme.

Not for everyone but I appreciate their passion. They love their cars as we do. Many have more hands on blood, sweat and tears than most. Gotta respect that.

I can see the wing like this as quite modest compared to some.

I dig it.

You do you homie.

For me, wing spoilers don't suit the lines of the Stinger. No doubt they work on some cars (and as far as wing spoilers go, that one is quite mild, which I appreciate), but it feels like a wing goes against the styling intent of the Stinger, which is of a premium GT car rather than a sports car.

As also noted, I suspect it would have a negative impact on an already below-average rear visibility.

But also as noted, it's your car, and you should do whatever you want that means when you walk up to it, you have a smile on your face.

If I were to put a wing spoiler on the Stinger, I would want it to echo the lines of the rear of the car - a gentle curve as per the trunk line. The one you've shown looks a little "flat" (at least from one angle).

Or go completely outrageous. Commit to the notion, throw a massive picnic table wing on it, and wear it with pride. As a bonus, doing this may actually not hurt rear visibility if you get a wing tall enough.

The wing, itself, is kinda cool but it should be on a two-door car, not a four-door sedan.

Not for me personally.

Old school fuddy duddy me actually appreciates the aesthetic appeal of under-car lighting - from the subtle to the almost insane. As long as it doesn't dazzle other drivers, I personally see no issue with it on public roads either, as it can actually aid in identifying cars on the road. Sadly, law enforcement organisations rarely approve of it.

Love the top, not a fan of the bottom wing on the Porsche.

That wing is not suited to my personal taste, I prefer the ducktail spoilers
But if you want to standout it will definitely do that, I dont think anyone else on here has that wing yet.

At first my hubby liked that kind of wing, but personally I think it will block rear view and looks very " Boy Racer ", but it's your car, everyone has differing tastes and opinions. You do what you want ! ( you could paint it pink with black polka dots, if that's your prerogative and choice )

 

[MerlintheMad]

Even if everyone said "That is so cool looking!": what about strength? If you are going to use the Stinger's natural aerodynamic design (gets more planted the faster it goes), what will a "wing" do to that, while it puts increasing stress on the plastic of the hatch lid? I imagine cracks forming around the joins. And vibrations exacerbated such that the lining is teased out along the window edge. Etc.
