Dewing / No wing / Take the wing off Exige (Pictures)

I tried searching those titles and didn't find anything. So here some pictures of an Exige without the wing.








Found a couple more someone else took



And some other members...

Smashfactory



Plastic plugs to fill the holes can be bought at Home Depot....about $0.50 for 2 (you'll need 4 total). I painted them to be less obvious. The Rustoleum "aluminum" is a little too bright for Storm Titanium.


Plug size is 3/8", may need to clean up the hole a bit to get the plug to fit



And of course I'm obligated to include poeples thoughts on whether taking the wing off is a bad thing.

Rustoleum aluminum, apparently!

Nope, don't like it. But then, I think Elises look 100% better with wings.
