I sure do like it a lot more than the Roush spoiler. I think that spoiler flows really well, looks good.

Yes, this spoiler covers all 4 factory spoiler holes, utilizing 2 of them. Comes complete with 3M taping.

ebay link

Note: There are 2 additional holes located at the outer ends that have to be drilled into the trunk lid, BUT, most everyone just uses the 2 factory holes plus the 3M and say that it's plenty strong.

GOT OATZ's GT didn't drill the 2 additional holes.

This is the first 'ducktail' type spoiler I'm considering. Only additional thing I'll have to get is some extra vinyl striping for it, which isn't a big deal.

Waiting for opinions from the rest of the peanut gallery (Leo, Tom, Brian, Daryl, ???).

Peanut Gallery? HEY! I resemble that remark!

I am leaning towards the GT500 style as well for 4 basic reasons:

1. It uses the factory holes so no need to pay extra $$$ to fill in the original holes.

2. My favorite is the Roush, but everybody and their mother around here has them. I know of at least 3 black stangs alone with this spoiler.

3. In contrast, nobody is doing the GT500 spoiler around here.

4. Most importantly, I like the way it looks.

The only concern I have about some of the less expensive versions is that on another thread some were talking about the spoiler warping towards the ends. They said that the Ford GT500 spoiler has a metal plate that acts as a spine to keep it straight. More expensive, but maybe worth it?

Honestly didn't expect such positive response. 3 yay, 0 nay.

This is why collective input is important. Reason being, you like a certain mod, but everyone around you thinks it's goofy. Months down the road, you realize they were right.

I am just part of the sub-sub-peanut gallery, but I like it as well!

My preference is no spoiler (I am still trying to get mine off or traded), but next up would be that GT500 spoiler... Out of all the spoilers I have seen, it's definitely my favorite!

Ditto on that, I really like the no spoiler look as well. I like the CDC ducktail as well but I can't see the expense of paying to have the holes filled in and drilling more to put the CDC on.

Concerning the spoilers my order of preference is:
Stock (Yes I know, I still like it best)
Ducktail
None
All the others (Roush, GT500, etc etc)

+1 here, on both. I like the factory spoiler, and from about 20 feet back it almost has a ducktail-like slope to it anyway.

After seeing this pic I like it even less. Way to high IMO.


+1 to that. If you want a ducktail go with CDC or SSE. It's not like you don't have the $$$ to fill the holes.

Ouch... And I thought those Saleen hash rocker stripes looked cool.

Wow, the votes are pouring in now, the line in the sand has been drawn.

What attracts me to this spoiler is if you want to put the factory spoiler back on later down the road (if the ducktail goes out of fashion), you can. Plus, at $190 painted and shipped you have to agree that it's one heck of a deal.

For the nay sayers, don't worry, I'm still on the fence on these. It's not like the seller has only one left or anything.

Is that the same spoiler we're talking about? That does look big (in that pic).
