The CF duckbill will NEVER get played out... a timeless classic for hatchies in my opinion!

I would like to get some carbon fiber gear, but it just attracts so much attention from theives. A bunch of my friend have already gotten their cars stolen and never recovered, so I might stick with the complete stock body.

if u have an Ek..i don't think any thief has time to pop your hatch and undue all the screws for the wing..i mean there's only 4 but they're in a tight fit hole...so it makes it difficult to do...just my opinion..

i think it makes hatch's look much more aggresive.

i've had mine for over a year now and no ones tried to steal it yet.

I'm not talking about them taking them breaking into your car for the wing, them stealing your whole car.

Check out Benen Industries they make a pretty nice looking wing and I think it is cheaper than the Spoon, plus it's strong as hell.

Benen are excellent quality, but you have to wait for them to make it, which can take months, and months from what I hear.

I was thinking Fiber images, I had a hood from them on my gen 5 4dr it was the only thing that survived the accident .... I just think that fc hoods and wings are starting to get really played out ..... I see them everywhere and I live in alabama not exactly the mecca of import racing ... I was just wondering what it was like around the rest of the country ...

Many thieves will just walk by the rear of your car and rip it off...Just like other wings...

I love mine.


And I think even though it's so common and played it looks nice. And therefor isn't that bad. I dont care, there's nothing that looks better out there IMO. I'd rather have a nice, clean looking car, than a ultra-super unique one. I'll make myself unique thru performance instead.
