Default wing risers & Headlights-- rice or nice

Hey everyone, just got done doing my first exterior "show" mods. I installed some ebay projectors, black and some cf wrb blue painted wing risers for my stock wing. The headlights were changed b/c less lense surface area, and off road I dont want to break my nice oem lights. The wing risers, i changed those b/c now i can see the end of my trunk and it helps with making turn arounds in the thicket. Some say its rice, some say its nice... either way its functional for me, lol... but check these pics out and let me know what ya think!

I like the headlights but I have never been a fan of wing risers.

yeah the wing risers i was never a fan of until i realized i could see more immediately behind me while trailing. Also, it keeps people from leaning on my spoiler.

it would look better with rims and lowering, but i dont think that will work too good in the dirt.

I definately like the lights.

haha yeah rims and lowering would be very nice... but like you say, they'd be trashed in one outing...

I actually noticed more rear downforce at higher speeds offroad... Could be placebo but i swear it stuck better in the ass anywhere above 60mph in loose sand, lime, etc.

Is there any tests or data related to the wing risers that show increased downforce?
