for looks, wingless is the way to go thesedays.
aerodynamics and down-force are MUST for racing cars,
but wings just ruin the whole car's design and line flow.
now with better technology and design, cars can have proper down-force without wings.
even exotic/ supercars are losing wings thesedays, c_gt, modena, enzo, lambo... etc.
don't bring your beautiful car back to the 80's.
if you must get a wing, invest some good amount of money on
products made by racing companies, that are complehensively tested and track-proven.
mugen or amuse is a good start.
avoid shiet that are made by some carbon fiber/ fiber glass shops.
these lack quality, detail finish, and most importantly, function-
with those you'll only embarass yourself.

As one of the "older" persons that Jahnke was talking about I have to agree. His car looks very clean and not "ricey" at all.
Me, I kinda prefer the OEM look too.
Jahnke, Call Rancho Suspensions. They might be able to come up with a 10" suspension lift to clear that "rubbing" problem you were talking about Saturday.

After seeing AustinS2k2003's car I think you should paint/powdercoat/anodize your feet too Jahnke. That is the only improvement I can see.

Yeah I have to get mine powdercoated too, I'd also like to look into getting it polished; I saw a post somewhere on the board where someone was going to have his feet powdercoated and polished, but he never posted pics 
*droooool*
