Molded LTW wing installed, Opinions??

**krandon marley** · 01-07-2015, 10:29 PM

Hey guys, haven't been on here in a long time. But I bought ltw wing (not oem). I decided to get it molded into one peice instead of the traditional 3 peice. At first I thought it looked a little weird that I can't see the lines at each end of the riser. But I'm starting to really like it, mostly that I don't see a molded ltw wing often. Anyways here's some pictures. PLEASE express your opinion towards the outcome whether good or bad. I'd love to see what other e36 enthusiast have to say about it.

Idk man, I like the look of my LTW being 3 pieces.

**nick325xit 5spd** · 01-07-2015, 10:40 PM

No. It makes it look even worse than it does in the natural form.

**JETninja** · 01-07-2015, 10:45 PM

Looks fine, what matters is how you like it.....

**krandon marley** · 01-07-2015, 10:46 PM

Thanks for some feed back. I also like the way the 3 peice looks. It took a while for me to adjust looking at a one peice all the time. In a way I wanted it to be something a little different.

All your pics are up close. Snap one where we can see the whole car.

**krandon marley** · 01-07-2015, 11:41 PM

I'll take a pic of the whole car tomorrow

IDK. It kind of seems like the seams/lines help give it the appearance of it matching the "rake" of the car. In the pictures it almost gives the illusion that it's leaning the wrong way due to the descending angle where it meets the top of the deck lid being the dominant line. I feel like the riser lines/seams tend to offset that.

**hide1** · 01-08-2015, 01:41 AM

I see where you were trying to go with it thing is I'm a bit of a creature of habit and have really grown used to seeing the riser lines. Agreed that some full car pics are in order.

Side profile of it molded takes away from the appearance of the sleek lines, even though they're still there, it's not as defined. Not so sure....

Akin to a bodybuilder having one giant ab to me.

Perfect analogy. It just looks off.

**Vitaliy** · 01-08-2015, 02:44 AM

Wow those m pars look amazing!! More pics of the car and info on wheel/tire size/offset please. Hard to comment on the wing, you need more shots from a distance.

**KnudsonsM3** · 01-08-2015, 03:33 AM

It looked funny to me before reading that you melded it together. Paint is also off.

Buy a high quality rep or go oem.

**notMpowered** · 01-08-2015, 02:21 PM

I don't think it looks good at all, and I really like the LTW. Also, it looks like its got some serious sag from some shots.
It looks too smooth to go with the sharp lines of the e36 IMO.

I think all the LTW high rise wings look terrible on E36's (just my .02)...no idea why they are so popular unless its a track car / real LTW. Your car looks nice and clean though.

The ltw wing isn't that great for track. It's more like a parachute than anything. I had a mashaw ltw wing and ended up selling it after an afternoon of research.

When I first got into the e36 I felt the same way, then it grew on me. I love them; think it's great when the factory designs something unique like that. But I could never get myself to put it on the daily.

**Driiven** · 01-10-2015, 11:39 PM

What are the specs on those wheels? Are they factory or aftermarket? Very nice!

Meh, shopping cart... Spoiler alert, isle 5... And I bet it's really heavy now...As opposed to just heavy.

**krandon marley** · 01-26-2015, 09:55 PM

Im super late on getting pics of the whole car. For some reason I cant upload pics on here with my phone, so i finally have some time to do it on my laptop. Feel free to express your opinions.

**hide1** · 01-26-2015, 11:50 PM

I like your car but that wing would really set off the theme if it had the riser lines. The e36 body already uses several straight lines in the form of it so the original riser lines flow. The molded look would be better suited to a curvy body like the e46. Just my two cents.

Appreciate your feedback

Thanks, I love the way the three peice looks. I got used to how mine is and I like it too. A little difference won't kill

I have an ltw spoiler with molded risers, not sure how I feel about a fully molded wing though, but you do pull it off nicely
