Default Spoiler / Wing Options?

So our (me + my girl) Mustang GT came with a monstrous wing spoiler.

Something similiar to this

While you can get away with it on Skylines and Evos, I know wings just aren't the American way. If the Stang was being used for Road Racing or ridiculous high speed runs then ok, but as a normal street car I think it's a bit over-the-top.

Wifey loves it, but I am not crazy about how obnoxious it is. What options do I have to get the wing replaced? I know she loves an aggressive look so the wing/spoiler would still need to be noticeable and aggressive but not borderline ricer. Any pics of your rides with some wings/spoilers? Suggestions?

Thanks bros

Keep in mind that a "functional" wing is only "functional" once you hit a certain speed, and that is usually much higher than your standard cruising speed.

Who cares when it's functional as long as it looks good and the steeda one is the only aftermarket one that looks good. Well except mine but it doesn't belong on a street car.

What wing do you have? And I agree on the function. I am often over 100mph so if there is some functional downforce then I'm more than welcome to it. I will research the Steeda, thank you.

I agree with oxfordgt I think the steeda wing looks pretty damn good, aggressive but not over the top at all... and everything I have read about it say that is got a lot of practical function to it (reduced wind noise, more stability when on the highway/interstate... i.e. passing 18 wheelers that punch a big enough hole in the air to shake any smaller car)

you got any pictures of this beast yet

steeda wing is tastefully "flashy" and I'm a fan of the '03 cobra wing as well (fits the body style very well imo)
