97 wing?


Hey I am new to MM and am needing some help on a wing. I purchased my cobra about 2 months ago and the biggest problem with it is the huge wing the previous owner put on it. I am needing some help deciding if I should return to the stock or go with s281.

Go wingless. Stock mustang wings are totally nonfunctional anyway.

I also love the wingless look. I actually took mine off about 2 months ago, but when I finally got it off it had left a ring where it sat. So i tried cleaning it, used rubbing compound everything. Then I noticed it wasnt dirt, it was where the spoiler scratched the paint off of the trunk. So annoyed and disappointed I put the stock spoiler back on.

I dont think the holes will match up. I was gonna get the 281 wing, and every where I looked it said will not fit Cobra.

The holes will match up....the only exception I've EVER seen is 94-95 cobra's. Other then that it should fit.

kaenens run about $225 + shipping if i remember correctly. theyre not too much more expensive from am (with the discount code) i love the look and wish i could afford it - just have other things that need to be attended to (brakes, tune, etc)

With drop and fat tires, there is no cooler look.
