I used to hate them, but I'm starting to like some of the shorter black ones (no more than 6-10 inches high)

The thing is, I think u need some sort of bodykit to compliment the aggresive nature of the wing..otherwise it looks kinda ghey on a stock car

Are you kidding? Not only do aluminum wings stick out like a sore thumb on curvy cars, but they're one of those rice mods that give Hondas a bad name. Besides, they're totally useless. They were invented for RWD race cars (slaps forehead). It would be like putting trick wheels on your... refrigerator or something. Out of place and completely irrelevant.
No matter what you say, there is always another place to spend money on your engine or suspension. That is more important than buying a wing whose sole function is to make a nice car look silly.
Okay, point made.

I put one on the ford probe i had before and i felt just like you,trust me man, its not worth the dogging your gonna get with it. i was ragged on so much about it. "HAHA it looks like u stole that off an aircraft, or thats looks like a park bench!" or in the infamous does your car fly now? it gets annoying just for a little attention. just spend the 320 dollars on making your car faster.

If you like them then go for it, I personally am not a huge fan.

I don't think that there rice, just different. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like that Eclipse in the Fast & Furious - That baby was nice!

we have so many jokes around here, you gonna renew your lease on NASA's wing. or... hey he gets to hear the radio stations in australia. i dunno im a hater on aluminum. i let everyone know it, its not my taste. my friend HAD one on his 5th gen and we gave him sooooo much props when he took it off. trust me man, if you cant take alot of abuse dont get it. you will be a victim and a statistic.

spending $300 for one of those wings is crazy. just get a rear bike rack, at least it will serve some purpose.
