Which spoiler do you think is better. The shark wing with 3 spokes or the one with 2 spokes. Im looking to try to buy one of the two. 2 spokes are a lot easier to find then the 3 spokes but I hear they can break pretty easy. The 3 spoke one is hard to find. What do you think. Please explain why you think its better. Im new to cars and want to pick the one thats not going to give me the most headaches.

personally, i like the stock rd2 spoiler. (u didnt name gens wink1.gif ) but the shark with the 3 piller is my fav out of your two choices cause you cant beat OEM sexiness, and quality.

redz are you sure the 2 pillar ones were oem? i know wings west sells them..i didn't know they were OEM.
anyway, i prefer the 3 pillar, and i've owned/seen both in person.

There is a very rare OEM 2 pillar one, Viper966 has it. It was on very early RD1's. Wings West copied that one, hence the reason theirs only has 2 pillars. Hyundai changed the design when they were having problems wobbling in the center at high speeds.

re you sure they didn't just copy it without the center pillar? i've never heard of an OEM 2 pillar. if you think about it the 97-99 generations have stock three pillar spoilers to begin with so why would they just change it over to two pillar and have to modify the SE hatches? then again it does look a bit like the center pillar was just added there. but it's something worth looking up.

yes, pillar is with an a!
but if that's true, then why is it the best one? LOL.

Yup. OEM. I've seen them a few times around, but they are the best, in my opinion, because they are lighter, and rare.
