Depending on the wing style and shape. Steeda makes a functional race wing for our cars, and you could probalbly use a roush trak pak wing if you can find one. The factory wing does provide minimal functionality also. Also in the Grand am Continental challege series, it was optional to run a wing on the 05-09 body style mustangs and most teams ran wingless, so you may find you dont need a wing.

^^ that's what I was saying, I doubt you will be hitting speeds in a class that your v6 will fall into to make a wing useful, at the speeds I would expect you to be hitting it would just be cosmetic.

Actually, if you are serious about road racing/autocross I would start looking for a 99/01 cobra nose and the cobra R splitter or the one piece like babyGT has. It will give you usuable front downforce for better turning. The only advantage of the 2 piece design over the one piece is that the splitter is removable during street use.

Yeah but the 2 piece real front is about a bajillion times more expensive lol, I got my front for $125.

Almost forgot, with the aftermarket cobra r fronts you will need to make some sort of support to keep the middle from sagging and folding under on itself, if your interested in installing that bumper I can snap you some pics of my brace I made.

Lol, it just depends on the style you get, his looks pretty sweet with the rest of the body accents he has. Whatever you get make sure it's something functional so later down the road when you get the car built to be able to use a wing you don't have to replace it to get a good one.

Thanks guys but I don't think I want to put anything on that I am going to have to get painted, because the Mineral Grey is a bit more expensive to match because its metallic.

Then I would suggest not to drift the car unless you dont mind the rear bumper to start looking like a$$. You will need to repaint it after a few drift sessions due to sandblasting it from the tires.

She's not going for drifting anymore, she's going to road race.
