WINGS vs. WINGLESS

Ibeyorsuperman · Apr 4, 2004

I prefer wing. Just makes the car look soo much more aggressive

drexebo · Apr 4, 2004

it's almost the anti-ricer aspect that makes the wingless look so appealing... if you hang around these mustang owners enough you begin to equate big wings with riced out 4 bangers. I guess the thought of being able to whoop most 4 cylinder imports without "all" the crucial added benefits and horsepower provided by gigantic spoilers is part of the mystique that draws me toward the wingless stang.

I can see how the stock spoiler looks like "rice", oh never mind no I can't ... there are a lot of cars without spoilers, they are called family sedans. The stock spoiler on a Mustang looks a lot better than without. It makes it look more aggressive like previously stated instead of like a 1989 Cavalier.

i like it with the stock spoiler, but the wingless stangs do look pretty smooth.

I think the Cobra trunk lid looks much, much better, aswell.

Don't go all wingless, go 03 Cobra wing atleast. Wingless looks like poo.

From the pictures posted, looks like the wing wins ... you could always take the hood scoop off to fit your pancake look better.

It doesn't do anything. Looking aggressive doesn't make it a 12 second car.

CottonBurnerz · Apr 4, 2004

well it shaved some weight off from your car..

but then again.. if you already have 12 second car.. then it wouldn't matter at all..

It just something different.. all mustang looks good to me.. (except some which are just horrid.... )

TIRES might but rims don't do crap

Weight reduction (if you've got $$$). Smaller rims for more sidewall = more straight line traction. Bigger rims with less sidewall = more responsive handling.

Not exactly as profound as a 100 shot, but compared to a piece of plastic bolted to the trunklid...........it's just sitting there.

Sure, why not? Passengers might not like it though.

Ah, screw 'em.

exactly... what is the true purpose of a spoiler in the first place? increased stability at very high speeds? how often do you really need the downforce of the stock wing in everyday driving? I say the stock wing is unnecessary weight added to an already dead sexy car.

It probably doesn't even provide any downforce. Maybe 20lbs at 150mph if you're lucky.

I think I'll take my rear bumper off tomorrow. it'll look better than a wingless Stang too!!

personally i think the stock wing on my 02 gt compliments my evil sounding exhaust for a more overall intimidating look. it would look too 'old lady' car without it.

Silver Bullet GT · Apr 4, 2004

I like wingless too. Gives it a cleaner body line overall and a nice wedge shape.

The 99-2000 wings are just horried. Everything after that are fine. I would
probably try moving it further back first before removing it all together

hognutz · Apr 4, 2004

I think it depends on the wing and the overall look of the car. I don't like the 99-00 wing. I don't really like or dislike the 01-04 wing. I keep it bedcause it is there.

I can't stand any wing that sticks up higher than say ~4". WTF is the point. then again I am more old school than new school. I don't waste money on wings and plasic. I treat this car just like any other. wheels, paint, suspention and motor. when I restore a classic car I don't look for a bunch of plastic or bing wing for it. To me the age of the big wings and body's kits just make cars look wierd. they look like a toy or something. I can't belive the number of "pimped" out 15sec+ cars there are on the road.

I feal sorry for anyone who needs a wing to make there car "agressive" you exhaust and your timslip is supposed to do that.
