Wing Preferences

Post by rat_n_a_cage »

Ok, which wing for the XR is your favorite ("favourite" for our Canadian and Brit friends):

Bi, single, Cossie, or RS500?

RS500 wing with the lower wing too or the RS500 wing with the buick regal lip - type spoiler on the back.

I also like the bi wing. Coming back from Oakville I was gunning it. I hit about 220km'hr with a set of rims in the car. It felt so solid and I could actually see the wing in the rear view going to work. It wow'ed me! 8)

I like a mixture of 2! The RS500 wing, molded to the stock bi-wing lower part. I plan on doing that really soon. This set up can be seen on Phil Marshall's car.

You know the sport buick regal. It came either black or white. It looks like a rear lip on the trunk that sits flush with the top of the trunk. Anyway, it looks cool man. :lol: :lol: :lol:

RS500. I would put one on my car, but the stock black wing plays in with the graphics nicely.
