Thumbs up Best looking wing for hatchback???

Hi,
First of all I know this has been covered in this forum in the past, and my intentions are not to "troll" the forum with this issue, but I did a forum search for all the respective info on this and I couldnt find any thing specific on the type of wing that I want:

Looking for something pretty close to the factory one...(I think is perfect and flows perfectly with the design of the car)

Nothing too extreme that looks like it came out of a X-wing figther...

Quality and craftmanship..i.e type of material,etc...

Please include pics if possible and help me on this critical decision.... My original wing is cracking on the bottom side edges and I would like to replace it with a good quality/good looks one...

thanks!!

RICE!

Back on topic. I think a few companies make OEM copies cept they're FRP instead of foam. Look at Wings West, Erebuni, Bomex...

Drifting is that the 180SX wing???

Thats not a bad looking wing and actually not that freaky looking , I thought I saw it earlier somewhere in the web listed as a 180SX wing...... I might go with that one, how much for one of those???? or a fake cheap version???/

thanks

Rice?

I resent that post about having a skyline wing on a 240 hatch. The wing on my hatch is from an r32 and I personally think it looks great. Theres nothing ricy about it. Maybe if it was a CIVIC hatch then by all means it would be ricy, but if done right, the 180sx body style can pull off a gtr wing quite nicely.

I was calling the R34 wing on a 240 rice. The R32 wing looks very different. I've never seen an R32 wing looks on a hatch, only a coupe. You should post a pic.

kouki 180SX wing looks like *** on an otherwise stock 240 (body wise). im not much of a fan of it even with a bodykit, but it looks better that way. wings arent that important anyway.
