New CDC Classic Chin Spoiler Installed!

Went immediately to the paint shop after they have finished painting the sides of the chin spoiler. It took only a day for them to do it.

I immediately installed the spoiler as soon as it dried out from the shop!

I cant believe the difference it makes upon installation!

It became more aggressive and sporty! I will post more updated pictures after the pony grille emblems and "powered by Ford" emblems are installed.

Here's some pictures:

That looks great with the sides painted like that. It gives it a nice contrast. I haven't seen that before. Good idea.

Yes, it looks great! I did the same with my Satin silver mustang. Though I just removed mine today because it was a little uneven (my wife said I was crazy) when I installed it. I can tell you this, its so easy to install, but is a MF'er to remove (if the tape is applied) and clean
I learned my lesson. Congrats on your great looking car!

Hood scoop

Thank you for your comments.

I will get some scoop. I just got my pony emblems (with bracket) for the grille and I also got my "Powered by Ford" emblems (to replace the GT emblems).

Will post more pictures soon.

You sure thats the classic? Looks like the aggresive one....?
Mine is at the shop being painted as well but I am having it stripped
to match.

Good to see a fellow Texan! Did you screw your plate into the bumper?

That looks really great, I love the matte black center section.

A little OT, but every time I see a billet grille, I want one more and more. Thanks for making me want to spend more money. lol

Classic

Nope it's classic. The aggressive wont allow you to use the lower grille.

And yes I screwed the plate into the bumper.....

Looks great. Is the GT emblem attached by double sided tape or is there a hole behind it? How did you remove it?

GT emblem

The GT emblem has both, it is attached by a double sided tape and has 2 holes behind it. First, you have to wash the fenders with soap and water and make sure you wet all the surrounding areas of the GT emblem. (You might want to wash the entire car first, and then wash the emblem, just my 2 cents).

Then using a flat plastic (any flat 1mm thick plastic), gently rub behind the emblem until you hands (or nails) can actually grip the tip of the "T". Using fishing lines will cut and mess up the double sided tape. DO NOT USE any metal/knife as this will dangerously destroy your clear coat and paint finish. Start with the "T" on the upper right side then work your way left.

Remember, you must constantly splash on the emblem with water in order for to loosen its grip on the tape. Be careful not to pull strongly as this will bend the emblem so little by little does the trick.

This rule applies to the V6 spoiler in the rear, which is heavily attached using a double sided tape.

Goodluck!!

I dont know where he got his exact emblems from, but ssinserts sells the "powered by ford" emblems as well. This is the only place besides ebay that I have seen these emblems for sale. http://www.ssinserts.com/index.php?m...a9bf034061c024
