Yeah,they offered two wings. One was the short version that kinda looked like the Dodge R/T and the long version was the wing I had on my 90 for awhile. AAFC's is the long version,too.
There is a lot of difference between the two wings.
Here's a couple of photos of my 49th Street wing before I took it off.

As a few others have said... do whatever it is that you like. I would say it appears your going to keep it for a while. So, you might as well have it the way you want it.

My thoughts on spoilers ? I fell in love with the Morrison Snakeskinner cars #93 & 94. That big spoiler on those cars works well for racing and looks awesome. They would probably cut your gas milage a bit though.

The Greenwood spoiler ? One very astute ORR racer ( Jim Weeks from Las Vegas ) said having that paticular spoiler on the car was like tying a 2 x 4 across the back of the car. He showed me a picture of the car at speed and it appeared the drag was so high that it was actually making the front end ride noticably higher at 150 + mph during the Silver State ORR. I don't know what kind of downforce the spoiler your considering would generate... or if it would matter.

That Shinoda rear design is the best looking rear end treatment I have seen so far except for the Snakeskinner.

Look around on Digital Corvettes website. I have seen some very nice aero mods there that were clean as anything else I have ever seen. As I recall their was a silver Japanese C4 with both front and rear 1 piece body panels that were beautifully done. The rear had a spoiler similar to the Snakeskinner cars and it was a convertible on top of that.

We've got a dude around here with a yellow/black C4 convertible that has a kit almost as hideous. I had a chance meeting with the owner at a gas station. He was wearing a cowboy hat and a black satin jacket with "CORVETTE" in bold, 2" letters embroidered down the sleeves; quite the character.

I tired to ask him about the car. All he would keep saying to any question was, "It's all customized!" Well, no chit, mon! (Did I mention it has "Lambo doors" too??)

I'll try to get some pix of it next time I see it. You won't know whether to laugh or cry. But, as suggested: if he likes it, that's all that matters.
