I now have my motor in and working.... other Items about resolved hopefully (starting to work on headlight issue tonight)
But the question of the day, once issues resolved, money still in bank, headed to body shop. my MM does not have a wing, but will!
I know what the stock looks like (If I can find any) but looking for ideas?
Ideas can come with pics!!! BTW, if it is over 6" tall, unless we are after a little humor, not interested......
so, please anyone, everyone... send ideas...

That's what she said. :alone:
Well I got my wing off a wrecked Marauder, you could go that route maybe?

CBT, I actually thought about wht you would say when I put that in there (thought 4" was too short and 8-10" would of been a flat lie!!!!) lol

What is wrong with your headlights?
IMHO.......................... ... Stay with the stock spoiler so your MM won't look like a ricer.

lol, well i have not installed it yet. as a matter of fact, silversurfer is holding the spolier till we meet again. it's off a silver, so i'll have to paint it. maybe black like my grill.

The headlight relay inside the LCM is bad. I can fix it for you. PM me for details.

Although I probably know the answer, is there any functional (mpg) value to the wing?
my opinion is: otherwise, it looks hokey

Am I the only one that prefers the MM without the stock spoiler?
I'm not knocking it, just personal preference.

Well, thinking Stock if could find (had not started looking)
And CBT told me a 30 HP increase, 7-9 MPG increase....
WOULD CBT STEER ME WRONG?

No, you're not, but I've stirred that can of hornets before. I do like the '06 Mustang spoiler, I've seen it on a CV, and despite what others say, it is short enough, that it doesn't stick up to far, but still off the deck lid.

I can loan you my right foot, it seems to increase the performance of whatever I put it in, vroooooom! :burnout:

See what one of these wings would look like on there. Worked for the Superbird !

I personally like it stock too, even though friends and family say it'll look better with it.
And if you're looking for something different but not radically different from the marauder spoiler, maybe those special Bondurant crown vic spoilers are what you're looking for:

Do a search here for more pictures with one on our cars.

Casey,
Starting to see why you dont have that one installed on your car yet (Thanks for the Pic RacerX). CBT, I would leave that wing in the glove box or under the seat....
anything but out in the open....
PLEASE!

This has to be one of the worst photoshops ever created. Can you imagine if that two spoiler abomination actually existed?

Dragcity, is that your 'bird?
I've seen so many pix of those cars just rotting into the ground in some moron's yard and they refuse to sell. It's a crying shame...nice to see that one is being cared for.

Some of these will make you sick.
