    Personally, I think both of them kinda clash. I would stick with one or the other. Then again, the Boss 302 Mustang had both of them and I think that looked fine. Maybe it just needs to be done right and would be okay. :huh:

    lookng at that pic of that white mav posted above i think the spoiler would look better mounted a little bit more towards the back, but then it would interfer with the location of the 3 pc.

    Actually it wasn't just the Boss 302.
    All 69-70 Stangs had a ducktail shape to the rear of the trunk/quarters and they look good with the wing.
    The Maverick rear without the ducktail shape looks really soft and curved IMO.
    Even the 71-73 Stangs, the only others the wing came on, have a sharp edge to the trunk. Even though they didn't have a ducktail shape.
    IMO the wing doesn't look good on a Mav because the rear edge is so 'soft'.
    So it might just look better with a ducktail to give it the 'sharp' look of a Stang. :huh:

    Like said, it's your car, do what you like.

    While we are on the subject:
    There is a difference between the 69-70 wing and the 71-73 wing.
    Just throwing that out incase you want to tailor the look 'just so'...
    The early wing has taller pedestals that are further apart.
    The later has shorter pedestals that are closer together.
    If I had to choose between them, I would use the later one that doesn't stand so tall, and then mount it as far back on the lid as possible. And I probably would use the ducktail just for the reasons I mentioned.
