Hey Legacy, I have the exact same wing on my ride, I say keep it looks tight. As for the wheels rubbing they only do when u have weight in the back and u go through deep dips in the road, I know this because thats what kept happening to me. My friend has an SVT thats droped 1.75inchs and he has only gotten rub twice and both times it was wiht his 17's but now he has 18 on it. The whole point of modding a car is to be different hence how you are doing a contour and not a Honda so yeah keep the wing it sets the car apart from the rest, and get those big wheels on after winter (I'm thinking of selling mine).

I hate it. It looks like a ricer wannabe.
SVT kept the wing off to distinguish the car from the regular models, I kind of agree. But then you are the one who's opinion matters.

if your trying to distinquish the car, to me its not working cuz every ricer honda has that wing. keeping the wing off and beating the sht out of a ricer is what will distinguish u.
...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.

You say that every ricer has an aluminum wing so that makes them seem like they all modify their cars the same way, then the same could be said about the members in CEG. most of the people here don't have any type of spoiler on their contour or mystique, they do up their contour the same as the other guy, and if everyone else decided to do the exact same thing then we are just like the people who do their Hondas up the same way. So tell me where the fun in enhancing the appearence of ride if everytime some here does somethign differnet they get brutalized for it? So the wing distingushes us from most of the contours in this form and on the street.
Don't get me wrong the contour does look nice with out a spoiler, but to many peeps have it done like that.

Hey calm down with the ricer thing. It's his car. If that looks good to him, more power to him.
My question -- what practical purpose does it serve? Sure, it might look good, but does it provide a lot of downforce? I think (like I said before) it's a bit excessive. A smaller spoiler would be nice.

Legacy , this is kinda off topic, but is that stock exhaust or aftermarket , it looks good...
I dont really care much for the wing , the side fins are a little to big, either cut them, or sell that wing and get a wings west fiberglass, they are nice.
I have a maxima, but i need a 5 speed.

That looks like the Borla exhaust. Use the search feature and you should be able to pull up some clearer pics of the Borla.

i think it looks good...who cares if it serves a purpose...not everything on everyone's car serves a purpose besides looks...y do u think they put a body kit on the svt factory...for the looks...doesn't serve much more of a purpose rather than to sell more of them
