V6 spoiler on a GT? Pics?

Just wondering if any of you guys have the V6 spoiler on your GT? Seems like it would look pretty good to me...

Personally I'm not a fan at all of the V6 spoiler... It looks like a GT500 spoiler that's been cut way short or something.

But to each his own I suppose.

Look for images of the GT500KR on google. That came with the V6 spoiler.

Wonder why the GT500KR came with the V6 spoiler?

When I had an 07, I said that my V6 had a GT500 spoiler, sounded better, lol. I prefer simple spoilers on street cars.

I personally think it looks pretty good. Less obvious with it's lower profile.

Yeah, I like it too. It looks a bit less "futuristic" than the GT500 spoiler. Just curious as to why they happened to pick the V6 spoiler for such a high end Mustang. I figured they would have designed something unique for it?

From what I read, the V6 spoiler was selected for the KR since it was proven to have better downforce functionality at speed verses the GT500 version. I have one sitting in the garage, but I still prefer the clean look of no spoiler and have run painted plugs for a couple years now.

IMO mustangs look horrible without a spoiler.
The closest I would get to spoiler less is a an 03-04 cobra spoiler.

I have a KR spoiler on my car and @ higher speed it seems like the rear end is more planted than when I had no spoiler.

I have also read this before. The plugs work I've used them too, it's a nice and quick little mod for a spoiler delete.

Here's some pictures of what it looks like.

Here's the thing... That's just an amazing looking car. That stance is the best I've seen. And I really like the bbs wheels. Haha very nice. And any pics of the plugs? From anyone?

Here is a pic of my car before with the V6 spoiler. I pray that the image is not too big.

I tried to get someone to sell me their V6 spoiler when they installed their Roush spoiler but they didn't want to deal with finding a box big enough to ship it. I'd still do it if I came across one already painted Tungsten Gray (for the right price). As it is, I've got a CDC ducktail and a 3D Carbon spoiler sitting in my storage room. Will probably switch over to the 3D Carbon when I can get it painted. I really like the Ducktail but don't want to have to deal with the spoiler holes and getting an interior mounted third brake light anymore.
