Looks good on a Saleen body-kit equipped car.

I'll buy it off you Tommy lol. I've been trying to find a wing to go on my car for a while. My stock one just looks goofy on my car with the saleen replica kit. I think its a decent pick up, could be used for trading material or something.

IMO, the only thing that should be taken off of the 99-04 Saleens is the wheels. Anything else, once again IMO, is somewhat ricey with all the pointless and non functional vents and big goofy looking spoilers. I mean I guess on some cars the spoiler works but basing what I have seen of your car in past pictures it would look out of place, especially if you are going for the Bullitt look.

Kinda like how stock factory GT's have big bulging hood and side vents that are non functional, and a non functional spoiler.

Id love to make my hood scoop functional, and Id really love to make my side scoops force air over the rear brakes...but its just not going to happen.

It's a Showy "look at me" kinda car as it is..

Also, Saleen wheels do rock!

There is nothing "big and bulging" about the factory things compared to Saleen stuff. Even though yes it would be great if it was functional. If you put that wing on your car right now, without any type of ground effects it would just look out of place. You said in a earlier thread how you were going for the Bullitt look, I'm pretty sure this would be a step in the opposite direction seeing as to how the 01 Bullitts didn't have a spoiler at all.

But like 02GTman said earlier, it's your car do what you want. If it were me I would've bought the spoiler as well for such a cheap price and used it as barter in a trade or something.

At this point Im being crucified for considering putting it on a GT with no aftermarket body panels.

However if I put afermarket panels on, like roush or Saleen, then Ill be crucified for being a poser...

So Its 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

The Thing was mounted on a stock GT with a cobra bumper and it looked awesome to me, not as agressive as the S281 spoiler, but more fitting to a sports car than the flimsy stock spoiler.
