Has anybody tried using a different rear spoiler on their 05+ Saleen???
I'm not crazy about the looks of the Saleen spoiler and was thinking about trying something different. Maybe something like a massaged to fit one peice GT 500 spoiler.
If anybody has tried something other then the Saleen spoiler please post some pics.
Thanks

Thats a good question. Besides the saleen, GT 500, Roush, and some ricer spoilers I haven't seen anything else on the S197.

If you give Saleen only $250 extra, they will not paint and install their standard spoiler. There is a small lip spoiler anyway; I think the back of the car looks a lot cleaner without the stock giant spoiler...

Yeah mine does not have the additional Saleen spoiler yet (no holes drilled), I like the small rise on my Saleen tailpeice, but I'm putting a Cobra R 2000 hood on and I need to offset it a little in the rear and I don't like Saleen's spoiler. Looking for options. I have to look at my buddies GT 500 spoiler a little closer and see If I can make it work.

I think Saleens look perfect without the rear spoiler. I would just do a delete and keep the small lip.

It looks like you have a giant baby food tray on top of your spoiler.

Careful there, Polkster. You besmirch the S281 rear wing, you besmirch the Saleen rear wings of yore:

In my opinion the tail section looks alot cleaner without the huge spoiler. How do you guys think a KR hood would look on a 05+ saleen?

What do y''''all think of this..I''''m sure I''''m going to get raped and pillaged for even suggesting this wing, but I personally think it might look nice (if not borderline ricer)..

All that matters is if YOU like the spolier. It''s your car.

As Jonsey said, it''s your car but since you asked for opinions.... no! As the wing actually provides downforce, I wouldn''t call it rice although it would look pretty goofy on a Mustang that wasn''t on the track (or at least equipped with a trak pak)
