    Since you are asking for opinions, T/A spoiler or duckbill.

    The color is a Chrysler color that was at one point exclusive to the Dodge Durango (whether this is still true, I have no idea) and I have yet to see it on another muscle car. I did not pick the color, but it has really grown on me... In the sunlight it really sparkles and is this brilliant shade of red, but in the shade it is like a darker shade of red, almost maroon. Anyways, I digress...

    I REALLY like the AAR spoiler, but I figured since I do not own an AAR Cuda (that will be my second Cuda  :roflsmiley: :droolingbounce:) it would be out of place. Can't have those purists breathing down my back hehe. Luggage rack? No thanks, I don't want to be a speeding luggage carrier hahah. They are cool, but not the look I am going for...

    Super Blue, I am going to hold off on a wing or spoiler of any sort for fear that it will look too busy in the back. Shame though, Year One has a 30% off sale until tomorrow night at midnight. $449*.30=134.70 savings for a grand total of $310. So tempting...

    Sorry for the late reply, just got back from vacation.  Any ideas on what you are going to do?  I don't have Photoshop, just MS Paint and I couldn't find any suitable pics to chop that wouldn't look lame...  :dunno:

    I went ahead and ordered stripes, but they are on back order from the manufacturer. I was unaware that a member on the boards does stripes (and for much cheaper!) before I had placed my order. Debating whether or not to cancel my order that I have already made and give business to the fellow on these forums or if I should wait it out. I am planning on having a friend who does body work do the stripes for me (last thing I want to do is slap them on crooked) among a few other little things when the time comes.

    Once the stripes are on I will go from there regarding the wing. Trying to avoid making the rear end look too busy, but I am hoping the car will have a little more sporty look to it.

    Tossed around the idea of changing the rims to Magnums, but everyone and their mother seems to have them (though I can't say the Weld wheels that I have now are any different). Kind of tempted to put on a more modern looking wheel, but I haven't come across a design that would match the car. Also don't know if I would like a low profile rim on the car and how it would handle. I know there is a guy here on the forums who has a set of wheels that caught my eye, but I forgot his username :(

    I line the Magums better than the road wheels.  Esp on the Vinyl top cars.

    On a hard top, I think the ralleys look better.

    UPDATE: Finally got around to putting the stripes on the car! And the rear emblem, the passenger mirror, the little red trim pieces that go in the grill, the glovebox door and lock, the interior 'Cuda door emblems, and the arm rest door cups  :bananasmi. Well actually, I didn't do it, but a friend did because he has a great eye for lining things up like Stripes.

    That being said, I am super stoked with the outcome. Everyone that has seen the car so far agrees that the stripes really dressed it up and make it look sexy  :cheers:





    Going to hold off on the wing for now. Actually, I am mostly glad that I did not go ahead and purchase a wing... Thanks again for eveyones input!

    get a second deck lid , paint it & install the wing , I like the Cuda either way it comes down to personal preference , the hockey stick is not big deal , don't like it remove it, personally I like the hockey stick

    So what is the difference between the 70 and 71 wing? Because I plan on getting one.

    70 wing curves forward at the wing bends and the 71 curves back and has a sharper angle.
