Go wing spoiler on 2nd Gen Charger? Yay or nay?

[JR]

I'm not doing it, I was just wondering what youre opinions are on the subject.

The go wing was optional on Chargers starting halfway thru the 70 model year I believe. What are your opinions of it on the 2nd gen body style? does it add some style? Or detract from the smooth, flowing lines of the car?
99 percent of the time, I think it takes away from the lip spoiler already made into the rear.

Then that 1 percent of the time I think it would be cool to look in the rearview mirror and see one.

My first choice however, would be some kind of aluminum spoiler pop rivited to the rear, just like the vintage stock cars ran in the day.


So what do you guys think?

[Fitz73Chrgr]

nay, I think it takes away from the lines of the car. 

I don't think a rear spoiler was optional on the Charger until 1971, but I could be wrong, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

It was optional on 1970's....I don't like it at all.

every time i think i want one on one of my cars, i start looking at pics of the ones with them, and it talks me out of it. i think it WOULD have looked good, had the body not been so perfect to begin with. it really does take away a bit from them. like on 70 roadrunners and cudas etc, they look good, but it's reallt flat in the back of those cars and it helps with the eye appeal. but not so much on a 68-70 charger. just my opinion

Good post.

I think they look really good on a '69 or a '70 Mustang Fastback, they look decent on a Duster, & marginally acceptable on E-Body. I just can't put one on a B-Body though, they look too small & totally lost out there on that huge deck lid.

put me down for a big NAY

Really?  Everytime I've seen one on the back of a '70 I thought the owner added it.

i think they look better on third gens imo

[Marck]

I'm gonna go with a "nay" on this one...

[chargerrt]

I have one on my '70 and I love it (apparently I'm the only person here that does...), but I think it looks better on a 3rd gen B-Body

[tan top]

 no way put a spoiler on , but each to their own

& as Trav said & i think we all agree the body on second generation is perfect ..........

[Ghoste]

To me, it looks like what it is, an afterthought.  The car was styled before those things became trendy and it shows.  It was optional on the 70's because everyone had one then but until the restyle in 71 they look out of place on a Charger to my eye.

   Unless it came with it, then that would be cool.

[Shakey]

I was never a fan of a spoiler on the B-bodies.  I don't even like to looks of it on a '70 GTX.

I like them with or without. Either way 3rd gens look way cooler with them though.

[hemihead]

 IMO  , I vote no . And very few in 70 or 71 had them. They only became trendy when people started to so - called  " restore them " . Same with most stripes . Back in the day most stripes and spoilers were thought to be gaudy . Also IMO the 2nd Gen isn't the perfect body style .

[moparstuart]

like trav i think they look awesome on 70 road runners / gtx /cuda   but not on the charger

[70 Charger RT]

I like them .  I think it adds to it's aerodynamics.  Looks like I'm in the minority oon this one.

[moparstuart]

 a 70 r/t would be the only 2nd gen I would even think about putting one on !

[Nacho-RT74]

I simply don't like wings.

about 3rd gens stuff, just like the front spoiler. Would like on mine, but I don't think matches good with BIG bumper guards, better with 71/72s guards. However I preffer keep the guards in this case

[Brock Samson]

The only ones I like are on the DAYTONA, Super Bird, AAR and TA. and that's it. oh, and the first gen charger if it's the first original spoiler type.
