Maybe its just me but i think the celica looks better wingless. Only thing i worry about the holes left behind from the stock wing. Anyone know what a bodyshop might charge to fill those?
I'm sure I'm in the minority overall, but I dig it wingless...I'd take mine off in a second, but as far as I know, filling the holes are the least of your worries...in addition to the holes, I believe there are two big "pins" that stick out of the deck lid and fit into holes in the wing mounts...these would have to be removed as well, and that doesn't sound that easy or cheap...I can live with the wing, and it looks like I will, but I think it looks gorgeous without it.
i like it either way but i stuck w/ wingless because i can see the car's behind me...and about the 4 lil holes, i used filler caps w/ emblem glue n painted it with oem spray paint..of course it's noticeable but at least it covers it up from water n matches the body.
depends on how the rest of your car looks...if its lowered with a kit or rims it ll look good but if your car is stock...i dont like wingless , but that just me if you like it go for it
wing is good..sometimes annoying cause i cant see out my bak window..but i think celica looks a lot better w/ wing..but still celica looks good w/ or w/o wing
it doesnt matter wat u drive or who u driving against its all about how you drive
i have it wingless, i think it looks good wingless ONLY if you have a drop and a kit that flows well with wingless. im going wingless on my vizage on a trd drop and it looks pretty good imo. imma get mine done at tpr and im guesing they are going to charge around 200 for it.
After my wing got knocked off by a truck, I decided to remain wingless. But if you go wingless, you also have to remove the rear wiper, otherwise it will not look clean.
DUDE I took off my stock wing to see how the firment was of my trd Carbon Fiber style one and the fitment was bad so I didnt install it, I have left the stock wing off and I like it soooooooooo much I used to hate the thought of not even having a wing but it grew on me soooo quickly, trust me you have to see it in person... Pictures do not do justice to the wingless look.. Last night when the vallet guy drove my car of I was like dayum the wingless look just lets the sexy lines of the celica flow so much more...
Ill be staying wingless for a while.. Ill be posting pics soon too..

IMO, wingless only looks good with certain colors...i've seen 2 wingless celicas before - i don't remember the color, but the darker your paint the better it looks.
I'm not one for the wingless look...I think the celica needs some sort of accent out back...I've thought about it and the closest I'd come to going wingless would be the brashboy rear lip spoiler
Maybe its just me but i think the celica looks better wingless. Only thing i worry about the holes left behind from the stock wing. Anyone know what a bodyshop might charge to fill those?
Hey talk to Righteous_One he is doing the same thing as you are going wingless!...So give him a PM message!

i just left em there for 2 reasons: 1) in case i wanna put a wing back on. 2)stupidly, yea it makes it look like i took it out on purpose to count for one mod. lol it's true, most celicas come w/ wings, and most without wings are the ones w/ smooth hatches(stock)...oh and it's barely noticeable on the street..i like to think my car's just eye candy, not show quality.
i occassionally go wingless for periods of time, it looks good on some cars, these are from my profile.. ghetto quality (i know get a digicam) pics of mine..
