Replacing R-wing...with what? - 11/6/2004 3:44:16 PM

I've been heavily considering ditching my R-Wing (guy I bought the car from put it on there), but I don't know what to replace it with. A lot of folks have been saying they like the stock 03/04 GT spoiler. Can anybody recommend anything else? I checked out the Steeda racing spoiler, eh, looks ok. If I can sell the R-wing (damn thing retails for over $400!) I can easily replace it with something else and still have a few bucks left over.

Thoughts?

Well if you really don't want it I would go with a mach 1 type of spoiler. Maybe a 03-04 cobra one if you like the look. I remember you saying that your car is just a GT w/ cobra stuff, so the new cobra spoiler will look nice. Also saleen has one.

Hrmm, why not try spoiler-less?
Just have a clean deck?
Why not.

Did you check out the saleen spoilers? I like those, but then again I don't know how it would look on your ride... or if you like that look.

the R wing actually looks good on your car for some reason... but the sexiest of all time wing is the 99-00 Saleen

nothing looks better than the steeda "functional" race wing. 250.00 and you can get polished aluminum tips with the steeda logo. Looks hot and complaments the car well

it sits realy low on the car, complaments it well and doesnt look like its about to enter orbit. On top of that it serves a purpose besides looks.

I can see your point and I agree that the saleen looks good. But some people like me want it alitle more exotic. I hate looking at hundreds of cars with the same parts. They still look nice but it makes it have a stock feel to it when everyone and there mother has it.

I say keep the R cause it looks sweet and get the front facia to finish it. It would also be nice to get the side ported exhaust.IMO

Yea like I said before either the saleen, or I would personally keep the cobra R.

Get the Saleen, or keep what you have
