This is just a fantastic forum! Being quite the newb, forgive me if I'm on the wrong thread. I need some advise and I know that it'll be freely if not copiously given. I like it already!
We've got a '74 that, at the moment, is in pieces. It's a street/track (little more focus on the track) baby that is getting some minor additions to help with high speed stability. One is the addition of a rear wing. There are two choices. As you can see from the pics, it's not pretty but at this point that's not the point. What do you think about aerodynamics/functionality and also aesthetics?     |

Ok, they will make a difference, if they're big enough. And if you are going fast enough. A little Al one that sticks out an inch or 2 won't do anything at those speeds (kind of like the things that are on alot of ricers), and you still need to balance it out.
