It's a 2000 Cobra R style wing with different end plates.
If I remember correctly, this is a cobra R replica wing that steeda made for early s197's.
It was the only wing spec mustang allowed which is why you see them on every one.
Now that they are out of production they are getting hard to find and pricey as well.
From what I understand, they weren't all that great anyway so your money may be better spent elsewhere.

It's exactly what I said.That's why I said 'style'. There are other Cobra Rs. This is the 2000 Cobra R style.

And they're still available from Steeda:
https://www.steeda.com/steeda-mustang-functional-race-wing-307-0009.html

Like the lower version of this wing, I'm sure it could be adapted to the '10-'14 trunk using the same center holes like was done for the 302Rs.

If I had to guess, it should be good for ~100-200 lb downforce at speed.

Must be....I went to the Steeda site and put in "Wing" and it didn't come up.
I was never good at searching for stuff online...

Even a 100lbs of downforce would help I would guess. Two daughters, one in College and the other one just about. Makes you shed hair like crazy
I had 3 kids 18 months apart....3 teenagers was quite a handful as a single father.

Hope you kept some hair!

I’ll be 59 next month and I still have a full head of hair. It’s not as robust as it once was but still plenty good enough for my age.
