ACS Rear Wing: Should it stay or should it go?

TRSpitfire · 04-02-2011, 08:37 AM

So my car came with an ACS rear spoiler, and I'm trying to decide whether to keep it. When I bought the car, I planned to remove it as it didn't seem to flow with the car's lines. Having owned the car a few weeks though, it has grown on me and now I can't decide. At any rate, the car is at the body shop getting the bumper repainted and now is my chance to do away with it.

Please see the pics below (mine is the red one) and let me know...Should it stay or should it go?

Nice color combo, IMO it needs to go.

JPWEraser · 04-02-2011, 09:05 AM

I don't think it looks all that bad. That being said, I really like the stock trunk's look - the duckbill on the top is really attractive to me.

crfine88 · 04-02-2011, 09:14 AM

I think it takes away from the stock lines and hides how nice the rear end looks on a roadster.

evoq007 · 04-02-2011, 10:00 AM

yea, it complicates the flow of the car too much.

ZStig · 04-02-2011, 03:01 PM

looks like the rear is doing a military salute

fighting_fish · 04-02-2011, 04:10 PM

I like the wings actually, although the car looks great without them too.l

Off topic, but did your car come with the OEM Wind Deflector? because I noticed that you have black covers, and I can't find a part number for those with the channels for the deflector.

Ruins the great lines of the roadster rear end IMO. The rear end is one of, if not the defining feature of the roadster. Just like the roof line is really the defining feature of the coupe. To each his or her own though....

Yes, Yes, Yes

TRSpitfire · 04-03-2011, 12:05 PM

Thanks for the input guys, I agree with the majority. Looks like it has got to go.

Anyone in the market for a used set of ACS roadster wings?

Have the original box they came in and will send to the US through APO, so no crazy shipping costs.

Sorry fighting fish, it came with the windblocker, so I don't know the part numbers.

The__J__Factor · 04-05-2011, 10:41 PM

This pic sums it up lol

esqu1re · 04-06-2011, 08:33 AM

Sell it for the OE spoiler? I think that one flows much better. The two piece doesn't look right to me.

SCHMOUPE · 04-06-2011, 08:41 AM

to the OP, get rid of it. PS whats the going price on an M coupe over there? I have a friend who lives out there and wants me to ship him one.

Thanks

babydevilj · 04-06-2011, 08:43 AM

definately get rid of it... along with those side skirts.

I'd probably make a SEPERATE for sale thread.

Awesome car to have there. In Saudi the slowest thing on the road were the police. Never, ever, saw anyone pulled over for anything.

bmwZ · 07-07-2011, 12:25 PM

I had those ACS wings, now they are gone. Since it is glued to the trunk, I had to buy a new spoiler to cover up the marks, the Oem spoiler is perfect for that

mikeinsf · 07-07-2011, 08:30 PM

Make your wing an X-wing. It should go.

whilechukwuzout · 07-08-2011, 12:29 PM

I dont like that the sides arent the same color as the rest of it. I think if they were it would make a world of difference. That said- they arent, and as it stands, I would take it off.
