    Bought an old 2nd hand Celica wing. Planned to install on my Prius2.
    Do you think it is good or not? :confused:

    There is a Japanese P3 owner who installed for his P3:

    Doesn't look half bad. The owner in the pic definitely takes care of the car, so make sure you do it right. A half a$$ed installation will look really shoddy.

    Just my honest opinion, nothing personal, I think it looks very rice. So far, your other mods have been very clean and well done. I think a mod like this would make it look like those riced out civics we see around LA and Inland Empire. It looks cheap and not right.

    I would vote no on this one. Your car is so clean and elegant looking, this would ruin that look IMO.

    I wouldn't do it. It will be more a drag in aerodynamics than a push for downforce.
    Rear deck wings become active in downforce after 110 -120mph for most cars.
    But it's your car

    NOOOOOOO! You have one of the best looking Prius out there. Don't ruin it. What's with the exhaust? I missed that add. Tell me more. Just say NO! (My humble opinion)
