Opinions on 4th gen wing/RA2 hood on 89 T/A
I am getting my car repainted, and am getting a new wing because its junk. I am trying to decide wether or not to get a 4th gen wing. I have looked at alot of pics, it looks good, but with out seeing it in person I dont know. I also like the RaimAirHood 2 hood, but for the same reason I dont know. I am afraid I will be making it look like a 4th gen, obviously. I like the 3rd gen T/A look, its kinda boxy, sleek and I am afraid if I put 4th gen stuff on it wont look right. I know its my car and my dicssion but I would like some opions. Flame on!!!

I'm a little undecided on going with the 3rd or 4thgen wraparound wing myself. I'm getting exteremly close to purchase time too.
The 4thgen wing seems a bit to rounded and tall for my tastes but, I wasn't exactly 100% fond of the boxy 3rdgen aero-wing either. I just hate to drop the $$ for something I'm not going to end up liking.
Does anyone have any semi-overhead views of the 4th gen wing from the rear ? I'd like to see how it looks lined up from a more topside view than the side shots, as above, or straight on rear. Decision time is soon though...

The wing is a little more subtle than the Ram Air 2 hood, which is why I got one. The RA II hood looks good, but stands out too much for my tastes.

here is a crappy primer shot lol, fromt he side, i havent compared the replica 4th gen wing with the orginal, are they the exact same specs ?
anyhow i used a oem wing , you can probally save some money if you get a oem one, just you have to do alittle work to the the center post, and make them longer,

I understand that you have to extend the center posts on the oem wing, but how do you get the wrap around part to attach to the hatch? On the 95 TA mine came from it bolted to the hatch beside the glass, but my 89's wrap-around actually attached to the edges of the glass(or at least the molding). What it the best way to make it work?
