I'm not sure I like the Cervinis ducktail enough to install it. I specifically ordered my mustang without a spoiler but it came with one. I didn't want to wait 3 more months so I settled with the dealer.

Has anyone seen a Cervinis kit without the ducktail? Would you do it? When I look at the car the ducktail almost stands out that it's not a part of the car where as the rest of the kit looks natural.

Would it be better/cheaper to have my paint shop weld the holes and fix them when they sand for the stripes? Or would it be better to buy an entire new trunk lid? Maybe I'll get lucky and dealer will order a car without and swap.

Help me out. I can't decide and the car is about ready for paint.

Saw one of these on the lot at a dealership. Lower front air dam/valence had alot of scrapes and paint was peeling in some areas along the lower sections.

Ground clearance is really low, just a heads up.

By really low he means LOW!! Everyone that I have talked to is consistant in saying that the ground clearance is only 3". But otherwise it looks amazing!

If you wont be happy with the stocker, just have the shop weld them up for you. I personally think some of the other ducktails would looks better.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm definately feeling the low factor. I was measuring out at 3in clearance on the rear exhaust with stock suspension. I just finnished installing the Saleen suspension. I have a few more mods to go before I can do any measuring. Looks like my next mod is going to be the gutter at the bottom of my driveway so I can get out. I'm thinking of leaving the ducktail off for now. I'm kind of wishing that I had stuck it out for the spoiler delete.
