Hideous.Not many spoilers look good on these cars.Especially the Birds with the very short deck.The Cougars have a bigger trunk and look better with them,but the Birds,especially the '87/'88's.......No.

No plans to put a wing on my 84 ever. I am over spoilers and wings. Now I only like the low profile one like my 08 Mustang has or an intergrated ducktail type.

I have YET to see any kind of wing/spoiler look good on these cars.  Why?  Because they got it right from the get-go. 

The ONLY one that is even passable in my opinion is the ducktail-type that was offered way back when.  The rest look like an afterthought, or just like complete poop. 

I understand the desire for something different, but bolting something akin to a tumor to the trunk of your car isn't the way to do it.

That wing does not look good at all ! Here is a picture of the wing on the back of my Bird . Its not a great picture but the wing looks good on the bird maybee because of the color contrast .

This one has grown on me, but I'll probably do away with it when the car gets redone.

    I actually do like yours the best... I know I had a Cobra one in the past and I liked it then, but I like the timeless classic simplicity of the one you have painted black which ties in with the same ones used on classic Mustangs, etc. It's a light functional looking design that keeps the back end from looking too fussy or weighed down.

    I'm with Chuck on this one.Some cars look great with them,and some cars look better without them.
