Says the spoiler is textured, no need for paint.

I guess it is flexible like the ones on F-150's

The rear deck trim looks to be CDC design

Wonder if there is a part number just for the spoiler

Both parts are CDC. The spoiler is the CDC Classic

Interesting, why does Ford Racing sell this "Styling pack" without mentioning the manufacturer of the parts, CDC?

You can buy the 2 parts directly from CDC for $375 (instead of $499 from FRPP) and still have the possibility to paint the chin spoiler in body color.

You can also buy the GT500 pedals from CDC for cheaper than you can get them through Ford. Neither company actually makes the pedals, the company that makes them sells them on ebay but I don't think they have a seperate website.

How flexible is the CDC chin spoiler.

Is it like the ABS plastic spoilers on production vehicles?

Big companies don't like to do the advertising for the little guy precisely because they can charge a premium if someone they reach has never heard of CDC (or SilverHorse Racing for that matter ) Add their initial buying power to the mix, and they can really do well as just the reseller, even with a couple layers in-between the customer and the manufacturer.

The Ford Racing catalog has always had this, as have many others. It's just part of business nowadays, since gone are the days of an end-customer not being able to order directly from the manufacturer. Since you can now normally find out who really makes the product, and order it directly in many cases, the end result is the big warehouse wants to hide "little guy" products, as they are footing the bill for advertising the product. Now when you get to be the size of MSD, Autometer, etc... that changes, and the name actually brings business to you, so you market the name and the product....

Just an observation from this side of the fence...
