I was acutally looking more for pictures of the Turbo whale tail, its much lower on the car, Almost like a Saleen wing on the 5.0 Mustangs. Because i have one, but im not sure if i am going to get it painted just yet without having a rear skirt installed first. (i currently dont have acess to my car, so i cant place it on there to see)

They have the mold,just not the inclination or manpower to make them.They had an outside glass guy make mine a couple years ago.The fit and form looks to be much more accurate than the other "knockoffs".Im not bagging on you intentionally,there just seems to be a lot of gap and dissimilar shape to the base of the wing and the rear of the car....

heres some pictures of mine
Well here is some pictures of mine. Please ignore the fact that the car has a far ways to go. Huge plans and little funds so it takes time =)
I hope these are of some help!

hey steve is funny you say that because that wing you see on the red car came directly from mariah and i made a mold of that one so if there is something wrong with that one than i cant explain that. that one like i said is mariah original and i have a mold of that one.

Huh.
Is yours bolted down or just sticky taped?Mine has some tape around the perimeter,but also has two studs imbedded in the center and is tightly bolted down to the deck.

that one is the same way yours is , taped and bolted. the mold i have i can make them with or without the bolts , i prefer not doing any holes on the car but i live the choice to whomever wants them . i think that wing looks awsome on your car.

I have a Whale Tail that is listed in the 1st Gen Parts/Sale section.
All it needs is sanding and paint.
No Cracks or Imperfections.
I'm trying to find a 1 or 3 Peice Wing that someone wants to trade straight accross including the shipping.
If I can't find one in the next week I'll sell it.

Well I will attach a picture. Aerodynamically is it better to get the wing off the rear of the car into the clean air. That is why you see many of the hardcore racers with big wings.
It is the mariah wing that has been modified to sit off the rear of the car. Structular stability would be a huge problem though.
