Default rear wings on CRX...yay or nay?

I'm debating if I should get a rear wing to round out the WW kit on my CRX. I don't like 80% of the wings I've seen for the CRX including the SiR. However, I do like the Mugen and the WW whale tail. Just looking for opinions on wings for the CRX. Any WW whale tail owners here?

I have the WW whale spoiler. I think it would be the biggest one to go with. Everything is too big and butt ugly.

my car came with the whale tail. i thought it looked pretty modest and subtle. it got lost when i took it off to be repainted and forgot about it at a friends house who moved, but umm, if i still had it i'd throw it on, i think it looks pretty good. i did have some rubbing issues with it on the rear 1/4 panel how ever. ohh and i think the mugen one is lame.

I think the JDM and EDM wings look nice. Just like the canadian SE wing. Altho in all honesty it doesn't improve on rear visibility.

WW whale is nice..not overdone.

Not to hate, but whale tails are for the whales, <U>NOT CRX's</U>.
if you spent the money on a nice kit get something that conforms to it, not stands apart.

The VIS c/f wing does look clean, but either Mugen or OEM JDM

No wings

theres guy on here who pulls EDM wings off euro crxs and sells them for good prices. its the ONLY wing id ever put on my crx. the mugens dont fit well with the car. i dont play need for speed underground so c/f is right out, unless it was painted to match the car, but then, why pay all that money for a c.f piece?

the best part of a crx is the natural tapered line it has. the opera window and the rear liftgate triangles complement each other, while the hatch curves toward the ground. any wing hides that area of the car, which i dont like. like reading maxim, such a pretty girl with the smallest piece of clothing ever concived, covering the only part you wanted to see.

this is totally my opinion, but you did sort of ask for it.

OEM JDM or EDM.. everything higher looks bad IMO (including the "whale" ones which make the car look like a shopping cart)
