    I added a wing to my comet, and will be painting the car soon. Everyone that has a wing on theirs , let see a pix of them. I am trying to figure out if I want to leave it black or paint it yellow to match the car. Thanx! wingin'it.jpg

    I'd get rid of it since you already have the Grabber spoiler on there.

    I found four wing pics, all black. Black makes them stand out a bit more.....especially on yellow.

    If the back panel of the car has some black on it, I think a black wing looks pretty good.

    dang that looks sweet in black I think a yellow wing would look funny
    I like the way you did the trunk lip thats cool I dont think Ive seen that done before on a maverick NICE TOUCH

    IF you paint it LEAVE THE BRACKETS BLACK to continue the black and yellow back and fourth the car already has going on

    For those builders that have a wing installed:
    How does your trunk lid stay open?

    Personally, I think these cars look better with no wing!

    That being said I think if you use a wing black is the best way to go.

    Maybe some hydrographics would be cool.

    Without a prop rod it doesn't... :disagree:

    With the Maverick spoiler on mine the trunk just barely stays up and that's with maximum tension on the rods... I suppose the Mav rods were a bit stiffer, I've never checked...
