I agree 100 percent.. The cobra r wing is enormous and looks terrible in my opinion.. The only place it is acceptale is on the cobra r.. Let the stones be thrown at me I don't care lol... Your statement is completely right.. Anyone that doesn't know what a cobra r is would think that thing is rediculous

Yea I know many of the mustang guys would consider the steeds wing rice. But I don't and that's all that matters.. I think It greatly enhances the looknof my vehicle and gives it more of a race look, but I also bought the wing for appearance because I knew a lot of people didn't use it and I believe most of the other wings available for these cars just look stupid lol.. Just an opinion.. I liked the steeda wing so I bought it.. When you dare to be different you must also accept the potential critisizm to come. Good luck with whatever you choose. And I wouldn't recommend a wing based on functionality, I think if you don't like the stock wing get one that you do like the looks of.
i like your attitude man!.... gotta go with what you like, god knows ive had tons of people hate on my car and the things ive done with it, my truck aswell lol...gotta go with what youre into

oh btw...when i bought my car, it had that steeda wing on it.... i did multiple top speed runs with the wing, and i did some without it aswell and i did not notice a bit of difference....i was going much more than interstate speeds....to each their own i suppose

this fat girl leaned on my stock wing and cracked it. so i looked at the steeda wing for a while. I never thought it looked bad but i decided it wasnt for me. I wouldnt think it was rice if i saw it on a stang though.

haha, thats hilarious, obviously not good for you but thats funny lol..well you have many options, could always get another stock spoiler or just plug your holes and leave it without if you like that look...but as far as aftermarket spoilers go, i think a bunch of em look rediculous, and a couple of em look good, depends what other appearance mods are done on the car...if you throw a bigger spoiler on a car with the stock hood and front bumper it may look a little funny..not sure though..when i ordered my body parts the spoiler was done first so it went on and i dont think it looked really good until the roush front bumper went on...so with that said you may want some exterior mods (bumper and hood) to balance off a bigger wing..so if you dont want to eventually mod more of the body, maybe a new stock wing or plugging the holes would be your best option...stock wings can be found extremely cheap..if you do go aftermarket you just need to be sure to find a good combo for it

The great thing about aerodynamics and downforce is that it doesn't matter how fast your average speed is, it'll affect your ride regardless. I've been meaning to get my car into a wind tunnel to do some string testing with some VG's so I may confirm what the steeda wing does and doesn't do later.
I don't think my car looks ricerish at all and have only been called it once from someone with cobra badges all over their v6. But WTV to each their own, the steeda wings agggressive stance on the decklid is what appealed to me, however I would have went with a termie spoiler had I found one that wasn't rediculously overpriced. All in all, I'm happy with it, if there was a change on the track during my last autox session, I did not notice because I also swapped an IRS on there at that time.. lols.
But yea, OP, get what you like.
