Default Ricer wing or not bad?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...item19b77ab140

I can't decide if I think this wing is ricer or not. I don't want it for my car, I am just curious to see what the reaction is to it. If it were taller I would call it ricer for sure, but on a well done focus it might look nice...maybe. What's the verdict?

Doesn't look like it fits the body at all....

I'm not down with the large ends. Looks heavy, out of proportion....and look like flaps extending outward over the bodyside.

A different view.

That one kinda reminds me of a fox body hatch wing (LX if you want to get specific). I think i've seen the wing I posted on a focus around Knoxville, I know it turned my head. It's the edges that flap over that get me, maybe if they were a little less it would look better. I'd like to see it once it's on RaceWar101

I vote not bad........ for the MK1 ... ok for MK1.2 ... a little weird for MK1.3

I have a 2002, I think it would look good
but I'm not feeling it on the 2009

but in either case, not rice at all

ugh, I take it back... just looked and saw the pick on the white car... I vote no on MK1.2. It could be the color mismatch, but I'm not feeling it; actually looks better on the newer car

Not bad, a little on the large side but then again it looks like a standard sedan spoiler just raised above the roof a bit more.
