Rear wing/spoiler choices

Rear wing/spoiler choices
Okay first off, I'm 80% go, 20% show, so I'll pass on any 747 wing suggestions Anyways, when I bought my 95 the trunk had one of those Ebay aluminum shopping cart wings on it, which I immediately removed IN FRONT of the seller (to his shock LOL) before I drove it home. Now I'm stuck with a trunk with 3289479823 holes in it (not including the factory holes for the stock rear wing and antenna). The antenna hole isn't a problem - I'm a CD *****. So now then - I'm thinking of adding a rear wing or spoiler. My exterior is all stock 1995 with the front factory lip. I don't plan on a full body kit at all - and if I do decide on one, it would be one of the last things I do to the car after I'm done with drift setup (all suspension, engine, etc.)
I've narrowed my choices to 3: Navan 3 piece, Silvia K's, or the flatter version of the now popular wangan. The wangan will work great and save me some $$ because it'll most likely cover all of the holes in my trunk (I'll still have them bondo'd to seal it) but I don't plan on repainting just the trunk for the sake of adding the wing. Obviously if I go with the Navan or Silvia K's, then trunk work would be mandatory.
So what do you guys think? I haven't seen a picture of an S14 that's stock with just the K's wing on the back... I've seen pics of a stock S14 with the Navan, and I like it but the Navan wing is kind of "thick" to me from the rear view.
Remember, my car is basically stock on the outside, and I'm looking for a decent clean look - nothing fancy that will make the rear end look "weird" compared to the stock front and sides.
For the imagination-impaired, here's a pic of my car a few days after I bought it but after a few days of cleaning everything on it (look stock silver wheels!):

Alrighty then... opinions start NOW

hmm... found this $225 used on Zilvia:

don't know if he's still got it, but that might be an option now. I can't seem to find a wangan anywhere except Jspec, and I don't like how the B version is too long, whereas the XL version is too... curvy.
Anyone know where I can find a wangan? If not I might try the one linked above.

Thanks Jorilad, but I've seen that one already. It's a little too "wavy" in shape... I'm looking for something more flat with a curved edge, like the S13 Wangan. I know there's one out there besides Bomex, but I don't know who makes it

...and I never said you did. I was merely pointing out that IF you are planning to drift...it aint a necessity. If, on the otherhand, you are into wangan driving, it is and essential. As those light in the rump cars need a little help to stay on the road.
