I think this wing would look nice. It isnt too big and i think it would really go well with the boxy lines of a crx

I didn't realize people took pictures of my car at the last show I was in.
Wow, that's a huge-jass wing!
OK, so I'm a wanna-be ricer, I have an aluminum wing sitting on the shelf and I might install it after I paint the 'rex. (This is not a joke)
My Si wing took the usually rusty shit like they all do and I removed it and filled the holes in.
I do like the Wings West wing too. It's just too much $$.

i voted none, but only because you didn't put the stock 86-7 Si spoiler as an option.
i think the back of the g1 CRX is way too squared off, doesn't look right. the foam rubber spoiler finishes the car off, looks better with it imo, and it is not obnoxious either.

I wonder what kind of satalites he can pick up with that thing.....
As for the Si wing, I would never put a stock one on my car. They weigh too damn much. I am hoping somebody can do a mold of one, and make it out of carbon fiber or fiberglass. Then the weight would be right.

A wing is totally useless.
Unless of course you can have your lunch on it.
I would go for the stock wing or if you really had too that second one didnt look bad.

that wing is huge, you could but a gas burner under it and serve hamburgers for days. lol
As far as the poll, a rear wing is only functional at speeds excessive of 100mph+, closer to 140. If you think it looks good on "your" car, then go for it, its cool to be the black sheep once in a while.

bigger wings are more effective at lower speeds than smaller ones. but they really aren't as effective as possible without wind tunnel testing... which is expensive. if you think dyno time is expensive, price wind tunnel time

also, how effective is a rear wing on a front wheel drive car?

Well, if you want to make sure that your car never goes over the speed limit, you put a wing just like the POS above did.
