Well, I could still stick with it, and cut the studs off the caps and just use 3M tape. I just got to thinking maybe something new would be fun.

I'd be interested in hearing other opinions/suggestions regarding the spoiler.

I love it, I don't think I've seen any vert running it.

As far as spoiler, Cervini Stalker

It's been suggested, but I can't seem to deal with the way the side caps sit on top of the quarter panels. Looks very tacked on in that area to my eye (I have a thing for the appearence of smooth flow)

This is the area on the sides I can't wrap my head around:

I just placed an order for a gt500 spoiler. I think it is the spoiler with the best flow, but I can understand why you wouldn't want it because they are very popular

I don't disagree. Especially from the rear, that follows the quarter panel sweep beautifully. It just seems like pretty soon there will be more GT's and V6's on the road with that spoiler than the originals they came with.

Then again, it's so popular because it DOES look good...

I'm not big on the 2010-ish taillights, but the rest of that definitely looks good.

Basically the only car I've seen with it installed. I'm seeing what you are saying, just not sure how bad it is in real life

Yeah, that's definitely one of my favorite cars. I think the gray color helps blend that part though. In the pictures I've seen of the stalker wing on bright colored cars, the color seems to make the seam stand out far more prominently.

The Stalker also uses weird triangular tabs to cover the front factory spoiler holes. Looks a little "off" to me as well.

Well, decided for the time being I'm going to put a GT500 spoiler on. The car definitely needs something back there for visual balance. Got a decent price on the Ford Racing piece.

Provided I don't fall in love with the GT500 spoiler, I have an idea for something customized, but that would take some time to pull together, and a GT500 spoiler shoudn't be tough to sell if I go that route.

I just installed my new GT500 spoiler last night. I bought it pre-painted from caraccessories123 on eBay for $109 shipped. The paint quality is actually quite nice, and the two sided tape is of good quality as well. It mounted up with only 2 bolts. My only complaint is that the paint doesn't match *perfectly*. It's very, very close, but not quite there. At the same time though, neither do my side scoops or door handles for some reason.

I'm going to run the FR spoiler over to the shop that's working on my car as soon as it arrives. They'll be painting it along with the quarters, rear bumper and decklid. It all better match LOL

When I installed mine I didn't use those studs, I cut them off and used 3M double side with eurethane. It' easier to perfectly align with the trunk piece and it's rock solid.

Depending on how the GT500 spoiler hits me, I have an idea for a couple mods to the Roush piece, that being one of them.

Car is supposed to be done Tues/Weds (the shop set is aside most of last week as we had a solid week of rain and they didn't want to spray it with the humidity level pegged).
