Default Rear Wing on an S2000

Let's take a poll here. Assuming you can afford to get one, would you put something like this in your street driven S2000??

Absolutely not, but with the downforce that could be generated, the person driving the S2K that has one may have the last laugh passing me in a high speed sweeper!

You know, it's crazy, but in Tokyo the giant GT wing was one of the most popular mods done to the cars. I would say that more than half of them had this kind of wing. It's not MY style and I even question its effectiveness, but man, it was nuts how many folks over there had them...

Now, MY style is the AP-1 SPOILER from Mugen. King has mine in and it's being painted now. I will head up there next week to have it installed. I can't WAIT! It is making me do this now ------>

Rear wing yes, but not necessarily that one.

I guess if the japanese have it, it must be the cool thing to have!

I like the Mugen 3 piece with a functional 200 lbs down draft as well, wings look ok at the track, a little too much for me on the street (in my opinion) - but if they're wind tunnel designed and proven, I sure won't knock anyone with the balls to do what's best for the handling of the car.

IMO, that is UGLY.
If it improves handling, show me the data (and show me that the improved handling occurs at "real" speeds- ones we would actually achive in agressive street driving) AND that the added weight/drag wouldn't adversely affect performance/handling at streets speeds, and maybe i'd consider an invisible one

cbj80 stated that his wing - similar to that pictured above - whistles when you drive.

downforce with that wing? I'm sure it will be more effective than my three piece, but I would rather not draw that much attention to my car from the local law enforcement.
