wing or no wing?

oops i replied before i seen that last one.. didnt realize there were 2 pages.. what a noob.. anyways i just dont want to get a speed3 wing cuz i dont have a speed3... lol no comparison lol

i dont think it matter if you have a speed3 or not, if your getting because of looks its a good way to go compared to any other aftermarket wings available which probably look really horrible. a speed3 wing along with a nice set of rims and lower springs would really make your car look great
 
more wheels... I like it

2 questions - doesn't this mod increase unsprung weight, and how do you get in the back seat?
 
i do like the mazdaspeed spoiler, im not sold on the regular 3 spoiler... i just have a regular 3, and i dont want to put a mazdaspeed spoiler on it.. lol

Bah just buy a Speed then, you won't regret it.. Especially on the long drive from Edmonton to Calgary ;)
 
I agree with the general consensus... adding a wing (even a modest one) won't compliment your car very well. When you look at the MS3, it works because of the bigger wheels, bodykit, etc. A base 3 just doesn't have the necessary level of aggressive add-ons to balance the look of a wing. (it would be like adding an evo wing to the back of a base last gen lancer.) without everything else, it just looks stupid.

so if you're going to stick with your 3 (and not get an MS3) stick with your 3... it's a great car in its own right. don't try to make it something it's not. embrace what it is...
 
lol i can't afford a ms3, i got my 3 for 15,000 and its 2005... im still in college till 2011 so.. no luck for a ms3 haha
 
but i am planning on susp & rims.. so i dont know if those will balance out the wing if i get the speed3 wing... i kno the speed3 wing will look good with my rims & all that, but like i said, i dont want to make it look like a speed3, cuz it doesnt even compare... lol but thx
 
a decent set of (at least) 17" wheels will set you back a min of $500 Combine that with the equally important (in order to make the wing actually 'fit' the look of the car) bodykit (which are also quite pricy) and suddenly you're inching your way closer and closer to MS3 (sport) territory.

A lot of people turn their base proteges/3s/etc into cars that look (and drive) even better than the performance variant. The problem is, when you tally it all up, they probably could've bought 2 of the mazdaspeed versions. For many, that's not a factor. Maybe they have a ton of disposable income... or maybe they just like being in debt. One thing's for sure, they like the individuality that having a truly unique car provides.

Since it doesnt' sound like you fit either of these categories, I say skip the wing (and wheels, springs, etc.) Unless you can afford to make the car LOOK similar to a MS3, it's not worth half-assing it.

I 100% agree :)
 
i agree with you u, if u go for wing u must go for the package, but your car doesnt have to look ms3 if u dont want make it ur style but stock with wing will look gunny get lowing springs rims and then wing and exhaust will be nice
like my ss looks stock but if u pop my hood i have supercharger and its 500 hp i didnt even put rims on it its all stock cuz if i do rims and no lowering springs or anything like that its wil look like wana be and im not one of them
 
first off....just put the stock lip spoiler on it. no wing.
second....if you really want a wing....you can come over and drive my ms3 anytime. then we'll come back to my place and watch some HD Movies on my big screen while I tantalize you with foot and back rubs.

but seriously, no wing.
 
well thanks.. lol.. but i think i might just lower her & put on some bronze(?) rims.. i think i'll hold off on the spoiler for now...

another question though.. i just put in a short antenna, then i seen a m3 hatch with no spoiler with a shark fin antenna, i dont like it AS MUCH as on the sedan m3, but i think i like it better than the short antenna.. any opinions?
