Why spoiler delete? Mine didnt come with one, and I have spoiler Envy big time everytime i see a yellow one with one. I think it looks really plain without it, just curious why some of you ordered it with spoiler delete? Im going to be ordering my spoiler to spruce up my exterior looks. Again, just curious.....

I personally think they look sharp without the spoiler. To each their own.

For me, it looks better without the spoiler.

I will be installing a ducktail.

Now the ducktail is the way to go if you have a choice. IMHO.

Truer to the late 60's cars that it is modeled after. Just looks cleaner and more classic. Why have a non functional spoiler that just makes it harder to wax. Too many ricers with spoilers that are just for looks.

Because not everyone thinks it looks "really plain."

Personal preference.

The lines are cleaner. Everything from Hyundai Accents to Dodge Minivans have spoilers. It's overkill. They block your rear view a little. They are a pain to wash around. They don't perform any useful purpose unless you're driving around 200 miles an hour, which the Mustang cannot do. It's a styling statement that has been played out. I don't go out of my way to snub cars with spoilers, I just prefer mine to have none.

If I change the way I feel, I can always add one later, or preferably, a ducktail. They're more integrated with the car and don't look like a cheap accessory.

Happy trails!

I also like it more without the spoiler and then whatever CelticCub said He summarized it pretty well. I'll just add that even if you super-duper charge your Mustang and it does go 200 an hour the kind of spoiler that comes from factory won't help you.

EXACTLY!! Most of the original 60's era Mustangs didn't come with spoilers. And it sure does clean up the lines of the car.

I agree, just plain looks better without it! I ordered mine w/out one and may add a very small ducktail spoiler. The Roush is too big IMO, looking for something very small, like on the last BMW M3's.

moc1976,

I have your car sitting in my garage, just kidding but it looks like we'll have twins. Where in Cincy do you live and what dealer did you order from?

Had I ordered, I would have gotten the spolier delete option because I like the look of the car without it. But since I got it off the lot i have a spoiler and it has grown on me, looks pretty nice. The best thing about having it though is it blocks out truck headlights at night when they pull up behind you at a light.

The duck tail looks really sweet, but I can live with my factory spoiler.

BTW spoiler and wings are two different things, spoiler breaks up the air running over the car and can increase fuel economy slightly, a wing is for lift or down force.

I prefer the looks of the car with the spoiler. Without it, it just looks like something is missing. I guess I am just use to having spoilers on my stangs.

I guess it really just boils down to personal preference. I think the car looks better without a spoiler on the back - so I ordered mine that way.
