I dont mind mine, it actually helps keeping headlights from blinding you at night. though i'm thinking i may eventually replace it with a ducktail or something.

How? Like pushing aside low hanging fruit or something?

With the spoiler you can estimate as to where the car ends, so when backing up you can see when you are near the car in back of you. With the spoiler delete, it is hard , because when you look back, you can't tell where the car ends.

I think the stock spoiler looks the best

I really like the gt500 spoiler too.

I guess that's why it's offered, as well as the option to delete it

I think that some sort of spoiler or ducktail is needed, Mustangs look very bare without one (just my opinion). The stock spoiler is ok but I prefer mine even more.

Of course... I do what I want by mixing and matching parts to make my own personal unique car.

I don't like it either. Thats why I ordered 13D and added the best looking ducktail IMHO, the original Street Scenes ducktail (see an ol pic below)!!

I also think the car looks a little bland without out some kind of spoiler back there.

So that's my opinion. Looking for why folks disagree with it.

Agreed.
