Default Lifting AU XR rear wing

Was thinking the AU xr8 rear spoiler (the ones with a twilight in them) are cool looking an suit the car well ,altho I do wish I had a te50 rear wing ....so that got me thinking if I lifted the rear spoiler up aat the mountings 5 or 10 inches would that work ..who thinks that would t look good or just look weird ...

You’d have to balance it with similarly larger aero around the rest of the car to keep things in proportion.

I like the higher lift it looks good ...do the rebel 220kw cars have them fitted from factory....id prob only raise it 3 or 4 inches not the 5 or 10 i said thats a bit too much...I just think the stock mounting are a little on the low side...if noticed these shape spoilers on other cars as well..Toyota Aurion have the same but mounting may be different size
