I also had the idea of just cutting a rectangular piece of flat lexan or nylon and attaching it to the rear deck lid. A rear wing was an option on the Cougar, just like the Mustangs of that era. Of course if I you could just buy the rear wing from the HPI Boss Mustang, that would be perfect.

One other thought would be to get someone to 3D print a hard plastic wing or bolt on spoiler.

I'm not looking for any aero advantage. I just like the look of the wing on the back of the Cougar. Below are a few pics of Cougars with a wing and a spoiler...



any luck on the eliminator style wing for the Cougar? i am trying to do the same thing and adding a hood scoop for the eliminator package look also.
