Wing off!

No contest!

I'd say leave with wing. It might not be the best looking one out there but it defines the ralliart. without it all you'll have is just another magna (personal opinion though).

No wing looks hot...take it off!

my thoughts were like that as well.

it doesnt look or feel like a ralliart anymore. but. i can see out the rear now.

looks better with the wing off
makes it look nice

wing off!!! no wing makes em look low and fat, that and i personally think the ralli art wing looks rather awkward, to high and "Veil Sidish", no wing ftw!!

Ditto

I'd have to say wing off. Nice car bye the way:) It just seems to detract from the great look of the car, It's like having a bookshelf on your boot.

I have bee driving a ralliart for a while now and all i can say is this. i agree that at times it will block your view but all in one it's not to the point where you could say "****. i can't see nothing in the rear mirror". It is acceptable. As I said, i'm not the biggest fan of it but it is part of the ralliart and i would not take it off. :D

all noted. thanks.

appreciate the replies as well...

the lower deck of the wing actually blocked a following car's headlights, so they wouldn't blind you so thats good.

thanks!

dainese,
no wing looks hawt, have you considered replacing the wing with something smaller instead e.g. a VRX or Sports wing?

rolliart,
Is that red and black leather I see in your avatar photo? Custom job no doubt?

I dunno. I like the wing because its the ralliart look. Though i usually dont like big wings, I think it just suits the whole ralliart kit well, being absurd and all.

see waht im feeling guys?

im swinging from fence to fence.

maybe i could have another wing. i dont want to drill or spend any money though.

is it possible if we can all register your vote as well, so i can see. thanks

Take the top section/bar of wing off? Def, keep something, ITS A RALLIART! :D

Maybe trade the wing for someone who has a pewter VRX and wants the Ralliart wing?

wing off for sure

Maybe trade the wing for someone who has a pewter VRX and wants the Ralliart wing?

its a possibility... dont think there will be any. and i dont think i like the vrx wing as well.

god, im difficult

VRX wing would only make it look, well, like a VRX. Either all or nothing lol.

god, im difficult

You know what would look phat, the boot lip extension style spoiler though i don't believe there are any that are readily available for Magna's so would likely be a custom job...

true........

that did pass my head...

doesn't DR Ego have one?

edit. nope.

No wing.

Never liked them and never will. They have to be one of the most pointless additions to any family car...unless you drive like a maniac and enjoy cornering at high speeds with a wing that is PROPERLY configured.

I agree...it loses its ralliart likeness (ie no longer looks boy racer). But on the plus you gain in sleekness and fuel economy. De spoilering a car also makes it look that much lower to the eyes.

i would leave it without the wing, yeh it makes the ralliart what it is, but thats not to say it looks good, so you have to decide if you want it to look hot, or you want it to look like a ralli-art!! but thats imo!!

i think its staying off at the moment.

the brand new spoiler is actually in the back seat.

Correct on all points.:dancin:

I might be wrong but i think pewter was a colour used only for ralliarts. vrx's have a different silver. Might be wrong though.

take it off, sell it, make money, do more mods :)

just to throw m2c in.... i'm sort of in the same boat.... i don't have a wing (being a pov pack exec) and yes... it does look lower/sleeker/stylish.... but at the same time i feel like its missing something... hot as it may be... it seems lacking... maybe i'll get a big drift wing :nuts:

being a ralliart... it sort of needs the wing to complete the look..... but its HELL HOT with out it...

In conclusion... i've added nothing to this thread except confusion.

try it without for a while and make up ur own mind... its you that drives it every day.

take it off, sell it, make money, do more mods :)
agreed.

I hate wings/spoilers. But there are quite a few ricers out there who will pay good money for the damn things. Take advantage!

yeah....or just get a lip spoiler like the DJR BA/BF ones, saying that i like magna spoilerless but some people HAVE to have spoilers....damn no0bs

no wing on a ralliart looks awesome!

I might be wrong but i think pewter was a colour used only for ralliarts. vrx's have a different silver. Might be wrong though.

Pewter silver was the silver used from the TH models onwards, it replaced silver leaf (SQ paint code) that was used on models before the TH.

No ralliart magnas had a unique paint colour.

Well that clears it up. lol

What about a slightly smaller wing - like one off a tj2 sports...

Sif!
you'd be insane to take the spoiler off.

I'd keep it on just so you can yell out to chicks out the window "yeah you reckon thats big! *points to wing" lol

Keep it on dood

Yeh i no the wing off looks really sexy but if it is a raliart then keep it on.
theres not many raliarts so i recon you should show it off more

booya ran his quickest time at the drags, sans-spoiler.

spoiler off :D

for a ralliart i would say leave wing on, with out it, it looks like a magna with a kit, although i do believe it looks better with out it, its a signiture item on the ralliart and i wouldn't touch it. as soon as u see it u know its a ralliart.

it looks so sexy without the wing.
but then again its not the same without it

tough choice

I dont know why people care about keeping the spoiler on to let others know its a Ralliart? You know its a Ralliart, who cares what anyone else thinks?

off!!!

what about that goldish one and that yellow one mitsu used for promotion

fu*c$king true

Leave the wing on. I toyed with the idea of taking it off, but taking the Ralliart wing off a Ralliart takes away the essence of what the car is. If you remove the Ralliart wing from a Ralliart it's just not a Ralliart anymore. It loses a lot of its appeal and just becomes a plain old looking magna. I would never remove mine.

Yep, I've thought about de-winging many times. But, I'm with Disciple. If we'd wanted a go-fast Executive, then that's what we'd have bought and modified accordingly. The wing is certainly not the world's best taste, but it is part of what a Ralliart is.

I saw a BF Ford Falcon GT the other day without its rear wing, and it looked plain weird. It's the same deal with a Ralliart - you've got that big front spoiler, which then looks heavy and out-of-place without the rear wing to balance the look.

Leave the wing on and don't make it look like just another Exec with big wheels...

I'm with the keep the wing on camp.
To say you dont care what others think is a cop out, as you are asking what we think in this thread. Everyone cares what everyone else thinks.
If I was driving along and saw your car, i'd think it was someone who got the ralliart kit and badges and put them on an exec. I dont see the point in having the top of the line magna and downgrading it to look like a poorly modded exec.

I'd leave the wing on too. As excess as some may find it too be, it adds a uniqueness to your car, making it look less 'stock' than it would without the wing.

i voted take it off, but now i wish i voted keep it on... its a ralliart its not the same without it...... the ass of your car will get cold :nuts:

that did pass my head...

doesn't DR Ego have one?

Something like this perhaps...

Mind sharing some info on who did the work for you? Do you have any more pics?

I might be wrong but i think pewter was a colour used only for ralliarts. vrx's have a different silver. Might be wrong though.

My exec was listed as 'pewter' when I bought it... but I dunno, looks silver to me. Piccie in profile.

To be honest... seeing as my car is almost the same colour... and I have a wing as well...

...I think I love the look of your dewinged Ralliart simply cause that's how I want my car to look. But I can't afford to dewing it. :cry:

It makes me all weak at the knees looking at your dewinged car... it's so purty... :bowrofl:

i dont care whether people know its a ralliart or not. i do care that people think its good looking though.

poorly modded exec? ouch. i think its a bit better than that.

Something like this perhaps...

nah.

all or nothing.

and that was yuck.

nah.

all or nothing.

yeah wasn't the best example, looking at it now it's not even what I was picturing... haha

well said. Almost all in this thread have agreed that the spoiler is kinda awkward, even those who have voted for it to stay on. To me, the car looks better without the wing, and thats all that would matter for me.

I've said it before, but for me the ultimate Magna would be a Ralliart, with no wing and a full VRX kit. Perhaps not financially practical though! :P

But hey, each to their own. Those with Ralliarts who like their spoilers, thats fine by me!

Mind sharing some info on who did the work for you? Do you have any more pics?

Mitsu Parramatta did the work after I explained them exactly what I wanted (where to be red, where black, what colourv thred and what type of leather etc).

Here some more pics.

that wing style is a little bit over the top i think and does not complement the the rest of the car

umm.....mitsubishi dealership did that for u? how much did it cost?..it looks awesome!!!!!!

$3000

Take the wing off and keep it for when you sell the car.. I never liked the wing on the ralliart... I do like the look of the rest of the car...

If i ever bought a ralliart.. Wing and front bumper would come off!!... VRX front would be on the menu for me (But that is my opinion).. at the end of the day a ralliart is bought specifically for it's mechanicals not it's appearance... cos even with a bodykit, still looks like a magna!

umm.....mitsubishi dealership did that for u? how much did it cost?..it looks awesome!!!!!!

they would of subletted it.

better off going directly to an auto trimmer.

thanks everyone for their input.

it will be staying off at the moment.

the new spoiler will be waiting.

Just a thought for those who have de-winged: what have you done about your centre high mounted brake light (ie. the one that was on the spoiler prior to TL's).

And if you left it off - what are the legalities of driving around without a high mounted brake light??

im thinking of buying a high mounted led as per standard magna.

its less safe to drive around with only n/s and o/s brake lights

Wing on. looks sporty.

well i voted for no wing but if ur thinkin to hav a vrx one well hav a look at my old ralliart who came with a vrx wing.:think:

oo, god bless you.

its sort of a good compromise.

buuuttt... nah... it stays off.

i like the look of it without...

now... to make the rubber grommets not look as ugly

its been more than 4 months (damn time flies) and wing is still off. and i wouldn't have it any other way.

as a bonus offer the new spoiler is for sale here http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48361

if anyone is selling an LED high mount brake cluster or boot torsion bars, let me know.

thanks

it looks heaps better with no wing hey, heaps tougher

I have just fitted one on my verada and have you considered the cost of replacing your boot if you take it off?

There would be 7 holes without it.

I like em anyway !

It's an ADR that your car must have a high mid mounted brake light, your car is defective if it doesn't have one (this applies only to cars after '93 i think).

Wow that vr-x rear spoiler really matches the ralliart kit perfectly!

I have never been a fan of spoilers but for some reason i think you should leave it on! If you had anything but a ralliart i wouldnt have it but it just makes it look so much tougher with it on and leaves no doubt to anyone who see's it thats its a f****ng fast car. I rekcon change it every weekend haha, coz it looks so hot without it aswell! but anyway nice car! :D

LOL i realise i was bumping an old thread but he made reference to it in another thread so i came and checked it out lol

i don't know what the big deal is with 'bringing up' and 'old' thread.
