Sleeper idea, factory wing or no wing??

I have a 92 that I in the process of getting it finished out. I have a thought of making it a quasi-"sleeper". IE. Replacing the wing with the piece from the non-winged cars and removing as many V6/GS emblems as possible. I am just curious on everyones thoughts on this.

P.S. Yes, it does have the 2.5 J-Spec motor (granted it is using the US 2.5 MAS and stock 1.8 ECU).

Actually it would be refered to as a "Hatch Garnish",
(not to get confused with the "Hatch Shade") which came on the 4cyl RS models.

I beg to differ:
Such a sick car, hope you don't mind Brandon.

Agreed-- thats one of my favorite MX-3's ever.
I think the car looks good either way though. Its up to you in the end.
Heres mine, sans hatch garnish...

It depends on how the rest of your car looks, I have an RS so never had a wing, but I did get a GS front lip and rear mud guards and I like how they look with only my hatch garnish.
I really like the way
Brandon and atlantamx3's rides look with the hatch garnish so maybe I am biased... I guess do some photoshopping and see what your car will look like w/o the wing.

you should look into the RS wing as an alternative to the GS wing or hatch garnish... it looks pretty good also... i just picked up a black one but no pics yet sorry... my website has a wite one but i'm sure you can find other pics out there

Could easilly just get it painted or paint it to match. I did when I got car repainted.
Here's a few pics of mine before I put the bodykit on.
