Hi guys, what do you think? IMO, the rear looks way better without the spoiler...

I think the spoiler delete looks good on the coupes, but I'm still not sure about the delete on the convertibles.

Looks a lot cleaner without it. Not to mention a spoiler decreases rear visibility and adds weight. No spoiler all the way.

I actually think the profile looks better with the spoiler. The clean look on the back of these cars reminds me too much of a Honda Accord

If anything, there should be a sharper edge between the trunk lid and the back end. It'd make the car more aggressive and would look more like the originals.

I think Ford should offer different spoilers. I would like to see something sort of like what is on the GT500 as an option.

I like the spoiler but I think it would be nice if Ford offered some others.

i think the ends of the spoiler would look kinda cool if they somehow molded in with the body

The present spoiler is a total waste. Its application serves little purpose other than the look for those who favor it.

How many spoilers do you know that serve any kind of purpose other than looks for the common consumer?

2K Cobra R, '05 Saleen. Both hideous, but they work.

Kevinv-6: That's the best comparision shot(s) I've seen. Thanks.

As far as the vote goes I wasn't quite sure what to answer because I do think it looks more retro without the spoiler but I just don't care for the spoiler at all or for most of the other aftermarket replacements for that matter.

So, in other words, the spoilers that serve some kind of purpose to the everyday driver are the ones that look the worst. :scratch:

I think the Saleen one only works cause it looks like it weighs 50lbs.

I like the spoiler personally, but I wish there was a factory ducktail option.

Usually, the average everyday driver is fortunate to know how to gas the tank without spilling over. Knowing what a spoiler can do might be asking a bit too much.

Spoliers Rule! I hate that retro crap. But then again The mustang is such a beautiful car it's impossible to make it look ugly, so to each his own.
