hey, my em1 has the stock wing on the back... dnt think ive seen another with one... do people just take them off and plug the holes... or they didnt come with them from factory or what?
i would take mine off but i dnt want to have the holes there

I still got mine one hey the wing has kinda grown on me n suits the look i got going, but most people just plug up the holes...or u can take it to a panel shop to get the holes filled in but i dont think it'll be worth the cos unless u find some where cheap.

yehh well i think i like the look of it aswell.. but ppl tell me i shuld take it off so thort i would ask around to see what can be done etc... or wat ppl who dont have it have done...
because i think some dont even come with the wing stock? i dunno

yea ive been told to do the same so i get tempted sometimes but end up not doing it...
yea i think most came with the stock wing cos we recently had a coupe shoot here in brizzy and all the coupes that didn't have a wing had all the holes plugged
but i guess at the end of the day u can take it off to see how it looks and then u can decide what u wanna do with it.

I like the vtir wing, the EJ8 wing isnt very good some times

Nah, it's still on. Never got around to doing anything about it. Too many other priorities in life that came first. Perhaps one day when I have cash to burn to remove it properly then I'll do it.
What does your wing look like, is it the same as mine? Post a pic of yours.

em1s only come stock with front lips and side skirts.
rear lips, spoilers and sunroof, etc... are optional.
i recommend it taken off cos it would look so much better...

yea i think coupes only really look good with the wing off if they have the rear lip or else the back looks abit narrower to the rest of the car.
but ive contemplated taken mine off numerious times lol but end up being too lazy :P

i think i agree that without a rear lip it looks good with spoiler
and with rear lip it looks good without
but i think im not going to copy every1 and leave it on :D i recon it looks good after a long think about it lol

If u take of ur wing its gona cost way 2 much man atleast 200 plus
also if u take it off the boot is lighter and when u pop the boot it just bounces right back coz the lid has no weight
sorry 4 my bad spelling lol
cheers!!!
coupe all the way!!!
