If at all, I'd say only with a black stripe or on a black car... maybe.

what about if you match wing color with stripe &/or body ?

Nope just not feelin' it. They look too narrow.

I don't think the wing looks bad on the 2nd gens but it looks great on a 3rd gen :2thumbs:

On top of a black stripe it looks good, on just a painted surface I don't like it as much. I have considered adding a Go-wing many of times. I even have a spare deck lid with cut outs for it.

I like the way the spoiler looks on 2nd gen chargers, when i saw this post and saw spoiler and 2nd gen charger the 1st car that came 2 mind was this one

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. 

You are wrong. It was a mid-year option on 70 Chargers.

THE COLONEL

Well, I have to say, that when I bought The Colonel, I did not like the wing on there, but it has really grown on me since I've had it.  I think I like it, because it is lower then the other Go Wings.  I did find out that it came off a GTO, but like I said, because it is lower then other wings, I think it looks pretty good.

I thought about that and I don't know... I don't think it'd look good.

Colonel, it came of a GTO huh?  You know what, I think I agree with you, it looks pretty good and different from the rest.

I have to agree, the spoiler on the colonel looks better than the factory 1970 wing does.

Personally, I don't think it adds anything to the lines of the car. The cars lines are perfect as is. To me it just takes away from that. However, if it came that way to begin with, I'd use it whether I liked it or not. Course, I feel the same about the factory luggage rack. I mean, honestly, who would strap luggage to the trunk lid of a car anyway?  :scratchchin:

I would say no to the go-wing. Gotta admit that i have been playing around with the idea of making a daytona wing, just a little lower than the original, to downtone it alittle. :shruggy:
What do you guys yhink of something like that?
Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

 :scratchchin:  if you do that the trunk won't open, how low is lower?... if you mounted it to the trunk instead of to the sides, that might work... but I wouldn't personally, spoilers detract too much from the lines of the car, it draws my eye to the spoiler and i end up thinking why?.. if the car had a spoiler up front it would help balance the look,.. I really like the way most members here have done their cars with the spoilers though, great to see such thought put into the combos of color and options and i enjoy seeing some variety,..   :2thumbs:
too bad this isn'[t a poll..
  :scratchchin: Thinking about this spoiler issue, i wonder if the front spoiler used on the DAYTONA could be used on a stock charger?..

suntech

I have not really thought exactly how much lower, but what i was thinking about, is that it Could be kinda cool, even without the nose cone, but it had to be done a LITTLE bit less dominant!  :shruggy:
Up front i am planning on making a carbon fibre front valance, with a front spoiler integrated, something like Mr. Angry´s, but blended in.
Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

Go Wing? On a Charger?  :eek2: Even if I owed a Hemi 'Cuda 'vert or GTX with a wing.....it'd come off. ;D

Can't be any worse then that scoop..  :lol: sorry, it's fine...

yeah, it's pretty bad.  A Mopar, with Chevy paint, and a Pontiac wing.  It's kind of like a mutt! :smilielol:

I don't like it. It kind of reminds me of all the ricers with an alumminun model of the Wright brothers first airplane bolted on their trunk. :nono:
