It looks more like an antenna than a wing. I agree, this is definitely bad ..

That is the cruelest thing I have ever seen done to a Z.

Does the wing come with a hot flight attendant? Because that's probably the only way they'll ever get those things to sell.

How do I hate it? Let me count the ways.....

It Looks like a ridiculous TV antenna. (hey, maybe it is a really clever combo unit Antenna/Spoiler!?!?)

Check out the hatchet job mounting system. Are those pop-rivets or self tapping screws!?!?

It looks like the ends would flap at speed. (oscillate) Even if it doesn't actually flap it's wings it looks like it would.

Check out the little vortex generators at the end. Could come in handy when you reach speeds in excess of 400 mph. 8*)

From the back view it looks wider than the car.



I am trying not to use the "R" word, but it ain't easy. Let's just say the big ugly "W" on the side should probably be a big red "R" and leave it at that. 8*) (or maybe it should just be extended to WTF. BTW Nice of them to recess the "W" plaque so it can't be removed.

I wonder at what speed it starts to curve up on the corners...

And, even if you fell for it, would you drill those holes on the back of your Z... now thats cruel!
