I'm pretty sure that is the Westrenz rear spoiler because it also has the Westrenz rear window treatment.

According to California Mustang, it comes from Xenon.

BTW, I am in no way endorsing California Mustang. In fact I think they are overpriced.
I just like there site because of the wide selection.
I find stuff on their site and then buy it at other, cheaper places.

Hey Chris,
How did YOU like that ducktail in person? I think I like it better than the CDC one. The overhang on the CDC one kills it for me.

Thanks.
Where is Haley Ford? If it's not too far I might ride to look at it myself.

I must say that tail looks nice!
But that price is way to much. Must be the most expensive V6 around.
Happy Trails!!

Hmm gosh, you're asking ME where Haley Ford is... a transplanted New Yawka! lol

I know it's on Jefferson Davis Highway near the intersection of Route 288, which can be accessed via I-95. Hope that helps! Nice and easy day trip for you. And I wouldn't worry about the car not being there, the price tag will see to that!

How did I like the ducktail? Actually I liked it quite a bit. It grabbed my attention as soon as I entered the lot. Perhaps because it was so different from what I've seen out there.

When I took a closer look, I thought the centerpiece looked a little flimsy. It had waves in it, maybe where it was fastened to the deck lid. You probably would not have noticed it if the car were any color other than black. Black is unforgiving. The custom shop didn't attempt to blend the spoiler into the decklid. I didn't expect them to, but some of you have suggested that they didn't integrate it better. My gut feeling is that I like the impression of the ducktail, but the the part itself could have been a little more sturdy. Maybe the results would be better if the method of mounting the ducktail to the decklid were different (ie. custom mounting brackets that help distribute the grip).

Overall, my only beef with the execution of the mod is that they left some dried wax around the edges of the ducktail and the quarter window cover. I've got more pix if you're interested. I've gotta scale em down before posting them. Or I could email them to you. Might save you a trip, but then again, you might enjoy the ride.

Hey folks, per your request, I've added a few more pix. The glare was awful off this car, so I didn't get nearly as many good photos as I thought. I hope you get the idea...

Considering I got my GT for $25k, I will definitely say no.
wow ur lucky man, only reason i cant get a GT is cuz its going for 30 plus the markup and stuff, down in so cal they are going above 5k over now, i like the v6 but would love the power of a GT, but not for that much on a GT

and that v6 looks the same, stripes look cheap IMO ducktail is nice, are there things over the back windows?

Sure I'd buy it. But only if they were paying $400 a month to me. For advertising fees from having their name on my car.

What if a dealer had a dealer trade from some where else does that dealer have to sale for $29,000.00?

Good question. I think as soon as they decided to trick this pony out, it became theirs for good! Who else would gamble on a ROI like that?

No way! Even with engine mods that bring up the HP, just buy a GT and pocket the money you have left over! Nice ducktail, though...
