thought it was going to take a lot more work around the rear fenders where the wing roots in . . .
then i saw the pic with the wing on it. very NICE.

The low wing looks good, but I think it might look pretty good with no wing, too. Can't really picture it in my head, though.


We intended to take pics of it with & without the wing. However, when we got it outside with the low wing on it, we knew we loved it.

When we make the molds for the Roadster version of the Fino/Finale we are going to make 2 versions. One version will have the wing stands and use the wing & on the other version we will remove the wing stands & round off & shape the tops of the rear fenders. That way Customers will be able to order it either way.

I like the low wing. I don't know about no wing. I think that the backwards slope on the decklid, without a wing, would make the butt look funny.

That's what I was thinking too, but wasn't sure enough to give it a complete thumbs down.

Low wing for sure, it suits the profile... a high wing in an area of empty space would look rather odd. I'll start the photoshop now...

A few more pics.............

If you put a high wing on that car, it will look like a SHOPPING CART

...in fact a lot of cars with high wings look like shopping carts to me anyway but it would be worse with a roof-less car.

I think "no wing" could work but it depends on the slope of the decklid.

Edit: Here's a half-mule image with the spoiler blanked out. I also trimmed the corner of the quarter panel to improve the look of that area, as just removing the spoiler doesn't look very good.

Yeah, 'no wing' looks pretty strange...

What about adding somewhat of a 'ducktail' on the rear edge of the low wing? Nothing huge, just sort of an upward bend?
