I'm thinking of going wingless. I've seen many do it, when I removed the wing there was a little rust under it. How easy is it to clean up under the wing? Vote w/ or w/o wing. Thanks.

Even stock rims I say take the wing off. Wingless cars steal my heart Have you tried to polish and clean that up a little? A friend of mine does auto body and he said you can use thinner on paint as it should not go through the clear. But maybe you could check with some local body shops and see how much they would charge just to fill it and paint it

My personal preference is winged until you put wide wheels out back. They don't have to be deep dish for me, but as long as they are at least 10-10.5" wide you are good to go wingless.

Just my opinion though.

I agree with everyone else about the wheels/tires. It seems like thats become a big trend around here lately and most everyone that does it still has the 4x4 stance and stock wheels. Drives me nuts.

wow, 50/50 so far. I love the 99-04s wingless. When my buddy did his he went and found a v6 decklid that didnt have a spoiler to begin with so he didnt have to mess with the holes and paint stuff.
