Default RSX with the aftermarket type r factory wing w/ out oem body kit?????

Ok I have a ABP rsx and i was wondering if you think it would look retarded to have the JDM factory wing ( the high one ) with out the oem body kit. I have the stock wing right now and don't care for the look it. I would go wingless but I don't want holes left on the trunk lid. If someone has pictures of an rsx with this wing w/ out the oem body kit could you please post some pictures. Thanks in advance.

Personally, I think it looks terrible on an abp. If it were white or black, I think u could get away with it. But i've seen it on blue and think it looks out of place.

It doesn't look right on a stock ABP RSX. You need at least the factory lip kit to pull of the Type R wing. Some aftermarket wheels wouldn't hurt either.

Edit: That's the thing about owning an ABP RSX. A lot of things doesn't match the paint color. The Type R wing looks good on any other color RSX except the ABP. The only way to tie in the Type R wing on an ABP would be through the use of the OEM lip kit or JDM lip kit and a nice set of wheels.

I'd roll it with a front lip, DC5R lip that is and you would be straight as Hugh Hefner
