Vote on which rear is the best for me to get

Aright guys I'm looking to put on a new wing and bumper or just a wing. I compiled some pictures below and need help deciding.

I want the car to look fast and sort of pointy if that is easy to understand.

This has to match with the steeda fascia that I already have.

Pleas let me know what you guys think and thanks to all the guys who posted these pics of their mustangs.

Thanks for your help

Sort of hard to tell without seeing your car. Post some pictures of your car, especially from the side so we can see the overall look you have going right now.

Mmkay, well hopefully you can post some better pics in the daylight tomorrow, but with that in mind, what style do you want for your car?

As in, what's your overall theme? Are you looking to go retro classic looking, or modern aggressive styling or what?

There's so many choices when it comes to customizing the exteriors of our cars that it really helps to have an overall focus or theme in mind rather than just picking out individual parts that you like that don't end up flowing well together.

I will say that the Saleen/Dan Gurney rear fascia is hands down my favorite rear end for 05-09s, (that'd be the red car
in your pictures above) BUT, it's about the most expensive option because I think the rear bumper cover itself is quite expensive and/or difficult to acquire and then you need a custom quad tip exhaust made. But that rear with a duck tail spoiler (google saleen dan gurney) is my favorite and would look excellent with the steeda front bumper you said you have.

On the less expensive side I think a GT500 spoiler and tail light trim (like the white car in your pictures) would look good too. And that round tail spoiler is interesting, I've never seen that before. But I'd have to see it from more angles than that.

But like I said, what's your overall goal in style with your car? And are the GT500 wheels the ones you're keeping for now?

Slick car!! I like what you've done. It's pretty unique with the mods you've done. I'm sure you've never seen another one like it. I feel like... The stalker wouldn't fit the theme. It's took long and flow-y if that makes sense. I've always wanted to do the ducktail from CDC. I think it'd look good. I don't think you want anything too crazy or radical with what you've got. And as far as bumpers... I feel like if you do anything you'd want to do the front. Come kind of chin spoiler. I really like the street scene chin right now. It goes on like the others with bolts I believe. Not bad at all. Then I'd say cs rear (not the gt500 which is unprinted all the way around, but the cs that had the sides painted but lot the diffuser. Sooo I think thats my input. Also a black out panel that removes the faux gas cap. I'll see if I can find a picture. I think that'd keep it clean, classy and muscle lookin like what you've got. Jmo!

Edit I just remembered you had the steeda front. Disregard the front parts... I'd definitely say CDC ducktail then and blackout panel and cs rear

It's pretty much identical to the orange Shelby above. Here's the car I was talking about... Gah I love it. Apparently the blackout is a street scene piece, and it has the ducktail I was talking about. You can see you could easily stop there and have a great looking car without having to mess with the bumper. Hope any of this helps or even makes sense! Haha good luck

I know you're wanting opinions on spoilers and bumpers, but I think some '10-'12 style taillights from AM, maybe black or painted taillight trim and a blackout decal/panel would make the back look a lot better than stock. I think the spoiler you have looks as good as any you posted. I'm not a big fan of the ducktail style, though.

Thanks for the input so far...


Yea sorry when I get better pictures ill post them up... And also I forgot to mention most of what I'm looking for because I was asking a lot to begin with...

I like the ducktails but at the same time I don't want to drill holes in my car so I think that's not a great option... As far as what I want it's hard to pick either retro or modern aggressive...

I think I'm trying to balance both...

I want to keep the rims and have them painted a glossy black and maybe just go with a black and orange theme..

I liked the stalker spoiler but some angles look great and the back of the. Gray with the CS rear looks unique which is cool...but don't think it flows with my grille and the steeda fascia

The bangastang spoiler is cool but it's hard to choose with the angles

Here are some other pics I have of it ...but still no angles on a gt so it's hard to tell

Also ill want to do some stripes either Le Mans or A thicker super snake

I have the CS rear bumper and a ducktail spoiler on mine. I like the look better then a wing.

Satin silver lemans stripes would look killer on your car.

If it were my money, I'd keep it simple and do either GT500 spoiler or ducktail and satin silver lemans stripes. CS rear bumper would be nice too, but not necessary to look great IMO.

I'd leave the wheels just like you have them, and wouldn't do a decklid blackout or tail light trim.

I know a lot of people like to do the orange/black combo but that doesn't appeal to me personally. I think you end up with a Halloween themed car if you do that. haha. Orange and silver is far more subtle and looks great.

Here's some pics for inspiration.

The last picture is white stripes not silver, but I wanted to demonstrate the GT500 spoiler with stripes.

Side stripes are up to you, they look good but aren't a necessity in my opinion.

EDIT, forgot to mention, I REALLY like the painted headlight buckets. Makes the front end of your car IMO.

Since you're getting stripes, I would leave the blackout panel off instead. I think black, silver, or white stripes would all look good. I'd leave the wheels the way they are. You can do a black and orange theme without painting your wheels. I'd say my car has a black & orange theme, even though I have anthracite wheels and a chrome grille. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks yea I love the lights I even like it better than the American muscle buckets...

I think your right with the gt500 spoiler as an option and keeping it simple because it gets too costly

I like either a dark grey metallic or matte black I had the black on originally but they started peeling so I took them off

That's why I was thinking about the bangastang spoiler because its really different but sort of resembles the gt500

I do like this rear too .. I just really don't want to drill holes to put the ducktail in... Because I always change my mind and if I don't like it it will suck to refill those holes but looks great on your car man

Yea I see what you mean but I'm not big on the chrome grille I may leave the wheels but I like black gt500 wheels

IMO gun metal color rims would look a lot cooler than black. Black rims are played out. The satin silver stripes are KILLER. I also have a GO and LOVE IT! Also if I had the $$ I would go with a duck tail spoiler.

They look great on white or silver, but I'm not sold on the black rims on GO car...

I think grabber orange screams for polished or chrome wheels IMO...

Black looks too 'heavy' on GO if that makes sense.
