Legitimate question.

The Exige attracts me not at all. The part over the engine/rear window looks like a hatch for some type of refrigeration unit, and again, strictly from a cosmetic point of view, a wing on this car adds nothing to it, and indeed detracts from the lines. I'll be the first to admit that aesthetics are a personal thing, somebody else might think this car SCREAMS for a wing.

Not me. I think the wing is unnecessary bling for the car.

Different matter if somebody needs/wants a functional wing because they're actually going to operate the car at speeds and under circumstances where the downforce comes into play.

I guess my tastes have changed over the years, as a kid I loved all the scoops and spoilers on cars like the Shelby Mustangs. Maybe it's that the wing is so overused on the tuner cars, but cosmetically I'll pass, whether it's a factory Exige spoiler or aftermarket job.
