99 Roush 2 post wing
 
Does anyone make the wings that came on the 99 Roush stangs? I'm planing on doing the Roush stage 3 body kit on my 2000 GT and don't want to use the 4 post wing (don't want to drill the trunk lid for it). When I first got the car I was going to go with the Saleen kit, but decided the Roush kit looks better.

You mean four posts as in the four verticle supports for the Rousche Wing?

The Cervinis wing looks a lot like the Rousche, but doesn't have the extra supports, and it will bolt right onto a 2000 GT.

I for one, like the Rousche better, but I don't know why.

I was thinking about that Stalker wing. I have been looking around and found 99 and I believe early 2000 Roush's had a 2 post wing. I don't really want to drill extra holes for the wing in case I want to turn the car back to original.

99 and some of the ealy 00 cars did have a two post wing. Trouble was flex mid wing at highway speeds. To counter act that the third post was added to the 2000 cars. In 2001 they switched to the four post to account for the new location of the stock wing holes.

To answer your question, a 3 post will use the stock 99-00 holes and not require drilling. The center post rests on the trunk, it's not connected to it. The four post will work, but not be the 'correct' wing for the year if you are trying to keep it to Roush specs for the year. The center two posts of the 4 post are only there to cover the stock holes and support the wing. They aren't drilled in. Those wings on the 01-04 cars actually require drilling the outter holes, similar to the 99-00 trunk lids.

Please spell the name correctly, especially when it's already right in front of you. :)

That is awesome! I wanted the 2 post because I didn't want to drill the trunk lid, and there would be no drilling involved in the 4 post. I don't mind the 4 post at all, and like more knowing the inner posts aren't drilled.
Thanks

To answer further, nobody makes them but Roush - so you'll have to buy one that is name brand.

A.T 04-08-2011 06:29 PM

Definitely would go with the name brand. For the price, it's not bad especially when you get the exhaust with it.
