Here is another shot of the wing . I think it looks natural on my Bird .
[/IMG]


It's absolutely perfect! It's lightweight looking and does not draw attention from the natural sillhouette of the car they way it would look without it. I find it most attractive to balance the Grabber colors with some sort of black contrast in the right places. That's what I always liked about the old Boss and Mach 1 Mustangs. I learned that I don't like the Grabber colors as much without some black to break it up, for example the new Grabber Blue Mustang just does not look as good to me without some black on the powerdome hood to balance it out as well as some other color keyed areas. Now I am not at all saying you need black on your hood or anywhere else because I think the lines of your car absolutely does not necessitate it.

Gotta always love the Turbo Coupe nose... Clean and simple and yet still ties in with the Thunderbirds of the past with the browed headlamp shape and smooth nose in between... Yep it's got me conflicted that I should try a newer nose on my 84... But the guilt I would have abandoning the 4 eyed look... I need two cars so I could enjoy each look... Ya know I could quite possibly give up the 08 Mustang over something like this... LOL!

That wing does not look good at all ! Here is a picture of the wing on the back of my Bird . Its not a great picture but the wing looks good on the bird maybee because of the color contrast .


Is that an aftermarket wing, or one off some other car?

I remeber A&A specialties used to have a small and a large wing for our Tbird.....but they have been out of business for a while. Now it is seeing what fits from a fox mustang onto our trunks. Just the matter of finding the right one to make it look good.

The spoiler on Cougarman's car appears to be one of the universal fit spoilers that can still be found.Very popular in the late 80's and early 90's.The end caps are plastic and the main body is aluminum.You can cut the main body to the desired width and slid the end caps on,and the vertical trunk mounts can generally slide side to side where you want them with a filler piece to fill the groove that they slide in.I had a few,and think I may have one in the garage.I have 4 or 5 spoilers I've found stored out there.maybe I'll get some pics and dimensions and sell them to you guys who want them.I'll never use them.

I like the look of a spoiler on our cars but I've never been a fan of the large spoilers on them like the one off a Fiero, way too big. I have one of the A&A universal spoilers with the brake light on mine. In my opinion it fit the lines of the car perfectly. But everyone has thier own taste.

I would love to have A monte carlo style lip spoiler.  I think the wing style are a little too gaudy for my taste.

My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

Plus,rounded spoilers/wings don't look right either.Our cars have a mostly straight trunk lid back there.Rounded spoilers,and spoliers that are too short or too long just don't match up,and "good enough" isn't "good enough".
