Am I the only one that thinks...

It's a function over form thing for me. If it increases performance/enjoyment, it's a good thing; if it doesn't (ie, just for looks), it's all but worthless. YMMV
A properly designed rear spoiler/wing can do some good but many just add extra drag.

I think an integrated wing would look better than even the sport wing. If the hatch had it formed in the sheetmetal.
I would consider a wingless hatch, but it's just a little too meh for me without anything back there.

Although the current spoiler is clean and understated I prefer the even cleaner look without it.. JMO...

I think Z looks great without a wing. It makes it look more slick and planted. Personally, I wouldn't put a wing on a Z unless I track frequently. That being said, the Nismo wing and duckbill looks great.

I think it looks like something is missing without a wing. The stock sport wing fits very well, but I prefer the duckbill. I think the duckbill is just very slightly overkill, but the look from behind is perfect.
