Whose car is that Brad?


OP: loose the spoiler, you won't regret it. These cars look much more "muscle" without the spoilers. Just go to NAPA and buy a pack of black trim panel snaps (be sure to paint and clear coat them or they will fade, ask me how I know) and some black silicone. Put a small amount of the silicone around the back of the head on the panel snap and then pop it in. I did mine in the spring and never had a single issue with leaks. I tested it a dozen times at the car wash when spraying it off.

Another vote for wingless. Mine has been removed/plugged for a couple years now, so I just need to make the permanent change and finally get the holes filled.

OK...well I was leaning towards it and apparently other mustang enthusiast think the same...Must be some type of connection of what we feel looks better.

I will post pictures when I get it out of the paint shop...Going wingless!

I just took my wing off and love it. Did the temporary plugs from Home Depot. May have it filled & sprayed or go with the GT500 spoiler in the spring.

I actually think your spoiler looks great with the bad ass hood, so I can go either way.

I really think your car looks kick ass as is... Wingless would look good with the hood though too. easiest way to tell is to pull the wing off and walk around it. That is how I knew I wouldn't like the Roush wing as much as my Steeda.

Well it's not as simple as that - lol! That tape all the way around it to secure it as well as the bolts are serious! I took all the bolts out and it didnt budge!!!

I'm sure my mind is made up - Going wingless ;)

I own a Bullitt so I think you can guess my vote. :chairfall:

I think that the 6 cylinder base models having a wing has negated any aesthetic value to having one. Heck, every ricer in town has one and many of them have two! I think the fad is dying and going wingless expresses more of a 'no bullshit' look. Less flash, more muscle. We don't need a wing to pretend we're fast.

My ducktail spoiler adds at least 12hp. 15hp when I run the bama 93 race tune.

I would like to go wingless too I think they look better, but I'm just afraid of filling the holes right. I don't want to not be able to put it back if I ever sell it..

otherwise, I vote wingless.

what kind of plugs are you using from home depot? Are they noticable? would love for someone to post a close up pick.
