Default Opinions on GT wing vs. GT500 Spoiler

I'm considering switching from my stock GT wing to the GT500 spoiler and just wanted opinions on what everyone thinks. Feel free to post pics of your GT500 spoiler if its sonic or vista blue.

I like the GT style spoiler. It looks a more old school then the 500.

I like my GT spoiler and of course a Vista Blue one is always a great choice

They are both nice. Like most choices it comes down to personal taste. If you like both, then save your money and stay with what you have. Unless you are thinking about adding stripes later on. I think stripes flow much better over the ducktail/wedge spoilers than over wings.

Actually, you hit the nail on the head. I like the gt500 spoiler better but I'm never adding stripes to the sonic blue. The paint just stands out to me way too much to cover up (and I'm not a stripe hater, in fact the opposite. I love the stripes on almost every color, just not sonic blue or redfire metallic)

I hated the wing. Should have come from the factory with a ducktail.

The GT 500 spoiler looks the best.

Duck tail! Roush, Legend, or GT500. But definitely the duck tail!

I prefer the standard GT spoiler. It looks more old school like the 69-73 Mustangs. I don't like ducktails, those are for Firebirds.

No wing or spoiler. Forget the burnout part...just look at the rear without a spoiler

+1. I heard that was a real contention point among the designers.

I've never liked modern mustangs w/o spoilers/wings. Just too plain looking for me. The classics, 73 and older look fine, or better, w/o them but anything made since I was born needs a spoiler/wing. IMHO
