well each to his/her own. If you like then thats all you need, however if you want opinions, well it just doesn't match in with the rest of the styling ethos of the car, and it never did on the Cobra R either.

Race cars (BTCC, GT and so on) only have them because they need them, but in most cases they still look pretty stupid too.

Something looks off. Looks too tall?

I'm not fond of the R wing, but if you like it that's all that really matters.

Newbie143 · Jun 14, 2005

damn guys i asked for opinion Not insults LOL . anyways yah i been told it looks kinda high. It should be a bit shorter. will it look good then!?
P.S. please keep the RICE comments away.

thats not easy, because it is very RICEY.

It serves no preactical use at all for road use, not even drag strip use, and is way over the top styling wise. But if you like OTT then thats fine. But it will never really match in with the car very well.

The C pillar on the sn95 body is a loverly sweeping curve, IMO the best part of the car visually, so to then add a sharp angled high raised wing goes against the lines of the car, the 03/4 Cobra spoiler/wing is probably the best I've seen as it playes on the lines of the car and is proportiaonal. It mearly extends the profile of the car instead of radically altering it.

I personally like the Cobra R wing and would not care in the least if anyone branded it as "rice", especially online. It sets your '04 apart and looks fine to me.

mogs01gt · Jun 14, 2005

they arent bad if you have the entire kit but without the kit, it doesnt look good.

trust me, I have one and took it off.

The wing posts need to come inward by about 3" EACH, and drop the spoiler about 3-6". That thing is WAAAAAY to tall and wide. Looks terrible. You should have called up a company that sells the R wing and asked for their measurements

Why would you have a body shop make you one? Why not just buy one?

EDIT: Oh also, the wing does not sit all the way back on the trunk on the Cobra R. You need to move the wing foward about 3-4".

I am the one who designed it. They just did the pain job. The reason for this is: 1- cheaper. 2- didnt want to drill extra holes on trunk.
But ur right, it is kinda too tall.

03redfiregt · Jun 14, 2005

Thats way too tall man! And in my opnionm the r wing only looks good if you have the whole r body kit. Other than that it looks horrible. and ya ricey. But to each his own

I agree in thinking it doesn't suit the car at all..its to aggressive looking and if anything all that downforce will hurt performance...It looks odd even on the cobra R and it has all the aggressive body parts to go with it...I thin a 03/04 cobra spoiler would look clean on that car..

Torinalth · Jun 14, 2005

First off, ignore everyone that has been a prick about it. next, look at it from the back.... it is slightly wide, i'd say make it 2 inches narrower from each side, no more. it needs to be dropped down as said before maybe 3-4 inches. also, i would have angled the posts a bit more so the top of the post was a bit more inward compared to the bottom then what it currently is. final piece would be to angle the wing its self a bit more downward in the front.to give it an overall 20-30* angle. other then that i think it looks fairly good. i would not move it forward any, i think it looks solid where the mounting is. the side markers looks pretty good, my only thought with them is they look to symetrical. i personaly think they should be "slightly" more triangular being a bit small twards the front then the rear. but again, my personal thought.

overall it looks nice, good show to design it. take my thoughts with a grain of salt, its YOUR spoiler, do what YOU want.
