Keep it and focus on more of the hood (scoop), GT rear bumper, and possibly wheels. I need to see a good ass shot with that spoiler.

What type of good shot?

A bit farther away and direct rear. No angles. I think with more body mods this wing could look really good.

I think you should get that hood/fender line fixed up front. It looks like it's either misaligned or you had an accident?
And a GT hood/scoop would really make the wing look more fitting.

Ditch the wing, and cut a WRX scoop into the hood. I think the Wing looks silly.

I have spacers in place of the hood bolts there to prop up the hood, looks better in person.

Okay here is my input on making the spoiler flow a huge amount. Right now I look at your car and eyes go right to the spoiler and feels out of place cause your mostly stock... 04-05 WRX scoop/GT Hood, 17" wheels, STI Rear Roof spoiler/vain, 06-07 replica vlimited front lip and finish it off with a rear HKS style dissfuser.
Also cut the muffler off and get a oem style or Borla muffler off eBay.

I didnt vote because even though I dont really like that wing on that car, I think a stock GT one would look nice.
I will say though, go get some new hood bolts and lose the "vented hood" look. Evey Honda punk does that and it serves no purpose for a street driven car at all, other then your hood not lining up... but thats me.. I like clean lines...

The reason i voted keep it is because you put a lot of work into having something different. And like everyone said just add more mods to the car to make the wing flow better. I tried the rs wing and some did not like it. I really liked it, but it did not fit right.

I do plan on doing more mods I'm just asking only about the wing.
AND
What I already have planned to do to my car is wheels of corse, going 16's 17's max. I also already was going to get a GT hood and have it flush. I also have a OBX forza muffler thats waiting to go on the car, also I plan on ether getting a lip or putting the 98 front bumper on since the lip is molded in and I plan on dropping my car on to the front mud gaurds and maybe even going like a centimeter or 2 lower then that. I'm also going to get the JDM coner tail lights on and also will be getting the antenna mast and motor replaced so it will go up and down again since I never have to worrie about that breaking since I can't even go through a drive threw carwash anymore, I also will be getting the exterior repainted the same color since its could use it.

Take it off.
Wings and aero are the last bits you should do to a car. They are largely non functional and much like a peacock feather - only used to try to attract a mate.

Still seeing what gets most votes. I wouldn't mind keeping it because I do like it and I have my big jimmy Up sticker on the underside witch does make it different and it also is unknown to how the top part of the trunk will be once it and the glue is removed but on the other hand, I have seen two fully slammed BD's with no wing and it looks so sexy that way to so yeah. Can't choose still. :smt017

That wing just looks horrible and out of place IMO, but its your car so if you like it, keep it. Half the feedback Ive got on having gold wheels has been negative but I like it so I kept it

I voted no, only because of how the car looks now, you have an aggresive styling wing yet the rest of the car isnt aggressive, like everyone else said, coilovers or just low, agressively stanced wheels, and wrx hood scoop or gt front and then gt rear lip and the wing probably will start looking at home with the other mods
