[QUOTE="gcassidy, post: 10927536, member: 13216"] For any wing to be really effective it has to be in the air flow. That's why high wings are used on most cars where the rules allow. Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. I think the wings on most American Iron cars look great. But I'd be self-consious driving on the street with one as it looks too much like a wannabe with a Honda all decked out in C/F. I assume when you say you'll keep the Steeda for inspection that where you are doesn't allow big wings on the street? I know Switzerland doesn't allow motor racing, so that doesn't surprise me, but I would think Germany would allow them with all the performance cars that they produce. But then, maybe they don't want every BMW owner winging out their car for the Autobahn. LOL That being said, with the DTM so active there, I would think there's lots of manufacturers of rear wings there, maybe not making them for the Mustang, but for functionality, just look at those. Then make sure whatever you choose is strong and reliable. We had a wing failure here at VIR last year that took out a car and guardrail, and the driver was lucky to walk away from. And don't forget that downforce in back = up force in front. Plan on a bigger splitter than what you have I think. [/QUOTE]
