Just curious who is ordering their cars with or with-out spoilers and which way you think looks best. I got mine with the spoiler, but after looking at some of your pictures, think the car looks much better with-out. What do you think?

I definitely like it better with the spoiler. It looks a little naked without it. However, I don't necessarily believe the "wing" is the best spoiler. I would have preferred the "ducktail" spoiler. But, that's just my opinion.

I voted yes because I have no choice in Canada 
Anyway, I think it looks barenaked without it. I do like some of the ducktails coming out and may swap out the factory one with a duck!

I ordered mine with spoiler, but after seeing the CDC Ducktail, I think I may have to take off the factory spoiler, and fill some holes in order to go with that one. Unless someone with out a spoiler would just like to trade decklids, just like the Subaru WRX/STi guys.

I got mine with the spoiler. I definitely think it needs something back there. I would prefer a ducktail, and will get one aftermarket if one comes out that doesn't look like an afterthought. But for now, I like the spoiler. Makes it look even higher in the back, and helps accentuate the sleek angled stance.

While I have no problem at all with the factory spoiler, if I order one, it will be with Spoiler Delete selected. That's because I KNOW I will want to put a Ducktail on it ASAP!
But the factory one sure looks nice in my view. IF no Ducktail were available, I would absolutely order it with the spoiler.

There were reasons why there was not a ducktail and actually, from seeing the CDC, I'm glad they did not have one. Just seems a little awkward to me. I personally like the 'Stang without the spoiler, as it reminds me of the Bullitt for some reason

Nawwww. just way to generic a spoiler design. Looks like it could have come off any of a million Honda Accords or something.
Perhaps if Ford could have come up with one that actually complemented the underlying design rather than looking like something the marketing department foisted on the Stang's butt to satisfy those goombahs who just gotta have a spoiler to look "badazz" or something...
Or better yet, one that actually worked aerodynamically and would contribute something to the Mustang's performance beyond deadweight and drag.

I, of course, ordered one w/o the spoiler, not only because it looks better, but the CDC ducktail is in my future plans.
What worries me though is the price.
CDC is usually WAY overpriced.

IMHO there was a time when the addition of a spoiler really set off the appearance of a few cars on the road. Today, I think the addition of the spoiler is extremely over used to signify the "sport" model of just about every car on the road.
I went with the delete. At least it makes me happy!

if you want an aftermarket spoiler then dont get the factory one cause you will have a trunck lid with holes to fill if the aftermarket bolts in in different locations then the stock.... mine was ordered without for this very reason
