is there any good looking wings out there? the saleen wing i have now is big heavy and honestly they have been played out for a long time.

im not a fan of the cobra wings on LX's just because of how curvy they are.

the GT wing looks ok...

i hate the steeda wing

and im not going to put a aluminum drag wing on my car since i do drive it from time to time.

Why would a sheetmetal wing stop you from driving the car? Sounds to me like your two options are a stock GT or LX one.

Some people like the Steeda one.



Not a big fan of much other than stock on the LX. GT always looks strange to me without the rest of the ground effects kit.






IDK, maybe, it just looks a little off.

Cobra looks goofy to me, too...


So...

stock LX spoiler. It's plain, but it just looks the best.

Cobra on GT looks good, I just don't like it on LX.

Personally I would never go back to the LX wing. It's not that it looks bad, and it's actually lighter than the GT wing, I just always hated the mini swimming pool you get back there after the car has been rained on or after you wash it. I always thought that was a really crappy design job on Ford's part, I mean they literally engineered a bird bath into the back of the car.

I agree, the Cobra wing has always looked a bit out of place to me. It's not that it's ugly, it just doesn't follow the body lines of a Fox.

So yea, I vote GT.

Admittedly, the cobra wing roundness doesn't follow the boxy lines of the fox, but as with many females, that extra curve back there looks great when you're behind her!

sent from a dude, with a sweet fox mustang!

No way, hatchback cars look like ass without anything back there. Notch is fine wingless, but hatch has to have something.

I'm not aware of any innovative designs out there for the Fox. There's OEM. There's exaggerated OEM take-offs (like the Steeda), and there's rice. Pick your poison.

The functional wings all pretty much look like ass but serve a purpose.

I like the early 3pc as well.
The GT doesn't look bad on an LX either IMO.

I will die a happy man when i finally get around to painting my stock LX wing and ditching the Saleen wing on my hatchback.

The 80's called...they want their whale tails back.
