Well....I didn't think you were going for sleeker. IMO the mugen is sleeker, but the J's is far more race and track. I don't know about the mugen, but the J's has many settings to adjust to. Also, the J's is the actual wing used on the Spoon S2000 and if you want to replicate that car, this wing will do it best. And finally, I've generally seen Mugen and Spoon as rivals....and that it might be weird to mix their parts? Don't get me wrong if that's what you want to do with the car go for it! I'm going to be mixing Sparco and MOMO which is about the same situation, but I prefer MOMO accessories, but the Sparco seats, so that's what I'm going to do because it's my car and it will make me happy. ANYWAY!! I think the J's would look alot better for the effect you are going for it definately has that WOW factor. If you have anymore ideas or questions lemme know and I'll tell ya, I've seen the wing many times and was going to buy it a while ago myself (before he wanted to sell 
), but now I'm going in a different direction with the car 
. Good luck! Still can't wait to see it!

P.S. Even though Mugen and Spoon don't go together IMO, I say DEFINATELY get the Mugen hardtop

*No official data to back this statement but.....
I believe that Mugen is one of the only companies that for any aero parts, go through extensive wind tunnel analysis. Hence why their body kits are expensive as hell, wind tunnel time is typically $1k/hour. They wasted $20k on our rear diffuser, did not like results, and started over from scratch. That being said I might argue that the Mugen wing IMO is more prone to produce the effects wanted in track purposes. Does J's do wind tunnel testing?
Thank you,
Steve
*edit G-luck building the car, I LOVE the Spoon paint job

Linky : http://www.inlinefour.com/spoongallery.html : Should help, I like the blue/yellow combo so much.....I painted my RS4 micro RC car-NSX, in the same style. It looks so sweet

about the paint job on the NSX, that sounds cool. As far as the wind tunneling, etc., I have no idea, but if it's good enough for Spoon to use on their track car, it's good enough for me Is the Mugen adjustable?Also, YoOSHI 187, are you looking at wings based on their cosmetic or functional abilities? IMO the J's LOOKS more race and track and I just all around like the wing.

You should really research all the exact parts and change them according to what you want different. The rims that Spoon is running is the Work Emotions. That's what is on their track one that has graced many magazines. Personally I would try it, but on an EK, just too afraid to track out an S. Good luck, it will look nice if done correctly.
