Well, I personally think any wing on a FWD car is dumb and just shows the person's lack of understanding of how the car moves. Unless of course that person takes the car to tracks (on a regular basis) where additional downforce on the rear would help. Heck, I sent SVT's Marketing Manager an email when I first got my car (I was a Ford employee at the time) and part of that thanked them for excluding any sort of wing from the factory.
I'm an all go and no show kind of guy (as anyone that has seen my hideous rear bumper knows), so I try to keep my opinion to myself on aesthetics. That said, there are plenty of people that have done "fo show" mods on here that I like, just not on my car. Antonio is certainly one of them. Y2KMondeo is another. I'm sure some people think that 19s on GCs slammed to the ground is too extreme. I've seen Allen's "Mondeo" theme called rice on here. And I've had people tell me that the work I've done on my car is a waste because I (still) can't drive it into the 14s.
"Enthusiast" is anyone that is excited about their car - stock, fast, slow, shiney, whatever. Just because I like it or don't shouldn't really matter. But, in reality, if anyone gets all bent out of shape about how people on the internet bag on their car then they need to check their priorities. You can't expect people to all agree that what you like is what they like. And you also can't expect people on an internet BB to be polite about it.
