I have to say that with all the opinions I am just going to forget about the wing since I have the bumblebee stripe...I was on the fence but now I am convinced that the car looks better without the wing.  I agree that the smooth look off the back is awesome and to boot I have not found but three pictures (of hundreds) that I have collected with a bumblebee stripe and a wing.  No wing looks better by far.  Thanks for all the opinions...hope to see you guys on the road somewhere soon.


Here's a pic of a Chally w/a wing and bumblebee.  I think it looks kinda goofy myself:

I would look even worse if the wing were black like they are supposed to be. IMHO anyway.

I agree......the B5-Blue looks great in that photo. If only I were a Blue car man Lucy would have been B5 in and out.

I definitely agree!!  I vote for no wing . . . bumblebee stripe or not.  Well unless you put a jet engine in it, then I would add the wing!!

T/A spoilers look, by far, the best on Challengers, but being an RT, that would look stupid. As was said already, you have the stripe. Therefore no spoiler on yours. I think the luggage rack would look awesome, but if it's not on the tag, don't do it.

I looked through my stash of pictures for e-bodies with wings and could only find 2! but one is a cuda but it has a hocky stripe on the rear so it is kinda like a bumblebee stripe? and the other one is the same color as your car but the picture is a bad angle! it kind of looks like the car has a bumble bee stripe but maybe I'm pushing it! anyways my thoughts on the subject are it is not a numbers matching car to begin with so I wouldn't worry about hurting the value. It could probably increase the value! The more options on the car the better. my car isn't numbers matching and I added all kind of options because I liked them and I WANTED TO!! I didn't worry about the value I want to enjoy MY CAR! I would kill for a wing but I can't afford one right now! I agree with the person who said get another decklid paint it to match and mount the wing on that!! then you don't have to worry about the lid on your car!! There is my .02
