Do most of you guys not care about the numbers or are there some of you who do wonder and care of what the wing numbers would come up too??? or is it just a looks thing to some of you???

Just weighed the genuine Saleen wing on my bathroom scale this morning. It came out to be exactly 18 lbs., as well. So apparently, authenticity doesn't make any difference in weight, at least - they're both friggin' heavy.

I think I'll keep my genuine Saleen wing just because it's a genuine Saleen wing.

I am building a Faleen so I got mine to go with the body kit.
If I was to absolutely need a wing I would go with a custom aluminum unit that would outperform any stock off the shelf piece. form follows function

Aerodynamically? It doesn't make a difference, or at least not in any way that should affect your choice of rear wing.

Visually? I dunno ... depending on the rest of the car, the larger later-model glass quarter windows look nice, but not so much when they're thrown onto a four-eyed car. Just my take on it, though.

Also, bear in mind that more glass = more weight.
