I think you should take it off. That's what I plan to do. Makes the car have a cleaner look to it.

Well, in my opinion, keep it on. I actually ordered a Saleen 281 spoiler, and by coincidence, it didnt fit, so I just sold it actually, but anyways, the point, I havent had my spoiler on for about a week now, and I miss it really. And after seeing your car, it NEEDS a spoiler. I love the way your car looks, and the spoiler just keeps it all even I think. With the chin spoiler, I think you need something in the back to balance the car out looks wise. Just my opinion, do what you want, but my spoiler is going back on when I get the car washed...

i love the 03/04 cobra spoiler. looks incredibly clean with the trunk and is a lot more functional than the one i've got on the car now.

Took My spoiler off last fall and I like the look. I do get tired of being asked "why did you take your wing off?" all the time though. I did fine a wing I am considering, Made by MRT they call it the B-wing. It has a lower profile than the stock wing, so it dosent block your view out the back window.

Yeah the cobra spoiler looks good, but going wingless is cheaper. All youneed is some pushpins from the hardware store and a little touch up paint.

I like both looks but without the spoiler, to me, looks uneven IMO

If I had your model year I would get the mrt b wing closest that I have seen to the Cobra.

Springs I think you are thinking of the 99-00 model spoiler. It goes down like that towards the front.

I like my 2000 GT spoiler. I installed it behind the stock location so it looks like a whale tail. I bet it's quite functional as well.

I like the non-spoiler look, the car has a trunk, not a hatchback, so i think wings just look rice on them. But if you do take it off fully commit and find a decklid that didnt have holes in it. It just looks like a$$ with holes or plugs. The only spoiler I am considering if i can find a complete decklid with one is an 03/04 cobra..
