Sleeper idea, factory wing or no wing??

I have a 92 that I in the process of getting it finished out. I have a thought of making it a quasi-"sleeper". IE. Replacing the wing with the piece from the non-winged cars and removing as many V6/GS emblems as possible. I am just curious on everyones thoughts on this.

P.S. Yes, it does have the 2.5 J-Spec motor (granted it is using the US 2.5 MAS and stock 1.8 ECU).

Actually it would be refered to as a "Hatch Garnish", (not to get confused with the "Hatch Shade") which came on the 4cyl RS models.

I beg to differ:

Such a sick car, hope you don't mind Brandon.

Agreed-- thats one of my favorite MX-3's ever.

I think the car looks good either way though. Its up to you in the end.

Heres mine, sans hatch garnish...

Yeah the wing really ties it in...i would say to keep it on.

It depends on how the rest of your car looks, I have an RS so never had a wing, but I did get a GS front lip and rear mud guards and I like how they look with only my hatch garnish.

I really like the way Brandon and atlantamx3's rides look with the hatch garnish so maybe I am biased... I guess do some photoshopping and see what your car will look like w/o the wing.

you should look into the RS wing as an alternative to the GS wing or hatch garnish... it looks pretty good also... i just picked up a black one but no pics yet sorry... my website has a wite one but i'm sure you can find other pics out there

Could easilly just get it painted or paint it to match. I did when I got car repainted.

Here's a few pics of mine before I put the bodykit on.

1) Wrap around
2) Regular GS spoiler
3) Hatch garnesh.
4) Nothing at all
5) Big aluminum rice spoiler

Thats the order from best to worse
