Default Wing on a Mooncraft hardtop.

I am still undecided i have never been a wing person but something about it just looks awesome to me. Yes or no?

and who sells them that will fit with the top, they need to bolt down on the outside corners on the trunk right?

I think you have to have a wing to pull off the hardtop

Most taller wings will work with the top. But you will have to remove any of them to get into the trunk!

So the wing is needed to remove the hardtop? There's no other way to take it off the car? I've never heard this before.

Correct English would have done just fine but I understand what you're trying to say. The use of the hardtop with w/out a wing looks very odd.

haha, ok but the slots on the hardtop the wing goes into..

yeah.. i dont have those, maybe because i have the carbon fiber top.

Where can i get a wing where it bolts to the outsides of the trunk??

Nah. The Spoon/Shine HT can be pulled off with the proper bodywork... Not a fan of that yellow one... Something like some rear valences to make the rear look fatter, and a nice set of skirts and an aggressive bumper, and it would not look bad, IMO.

I have been considering one for my car:


Widebody rear:


With rear valences... would be much better with a set of skirts to lower the belt line a bit:


I think the Shine one looks a bit better, as it has a bit of a lipped spoiler molded into it... Its all about proportions. The scalloping on the frond fenders of the yellow one, and the lack of anything on the rear fenders/side of rear bumper, just makes it look too tall and thin, IMO.

Shine top profile... now imagine it with a full body kit, and some aggressive 18's...:

That profile looks fine to me. It certainly looked better w/ the rear over fenders or other widebody, but, I don't mind it so much just like this.

I'm thinking about going with the Ings wing, it sits nice and low. I don't like tall wings like the 3dgt with this HT. If the Mugen would fit I would go with that. I like the way the car looks without a wing but it'll give the car a nice look when the top is off too.

You don't need to remove the wing to get into the trunk. You pick the front of the rear section up off the top and remove it forward.

^That is what I am talking about!

And nothing wrong with OEM parts... OEM hardtop looks great, IMO. They just do not work with the Spoon/Shine HT. An aggressive rear is a must, IMO.

Pay to play is true for exterior. Crap parts fit like crap.

Let's keep it on topic, and take the trash talking elsewhere please. Constructive criticism is fine but the bashing is uncalled for and I won't put up with it.

I agree. Just defending myself when attacked. I just noticed all of his posts have been edited out...

IMO, this hardtop can be pulled off without a wing, but its much harder to do. An aggressive rear / lowered belt-line proportionally are necessary, IMO if not wing is used.

It does not look bad w/o a wing. I agree an aggressive bumper pulls it together but it's not a must.

It can be pulled off without a wing, but you have to have other things to set it off like overfender, rear diffusers, bumpers, etc. If you took a completely stock oem s2000 and put a spoon/mooncraft top on, it is hard to pull it off.

looks clean without the wing, it is a matter of preference.

I personally prefer the spoon hard top with a wing .. I think it requires a more aggressive look to pull it off - its all personal choice really

I think the yellow one just looks goofy cause he shaved the 3rd brake light and the trunk emblem, just looks too plain or something.
