Polished & Waxed... Now which spoiler??

Spent a couple hours using my new Flex polisher with Menzerna Micro polish followed by a coat of Pinnacle Souveran Carnuba wax (expensive, but goes on like butter!). I also want to do something different with the rear, so I removed the GT spoiler and took a couple comparison shots.

The GT spoiler is definitely not going back on, but going back and forth now on either leaving it plain (fill all the trunk holes) or a CDC ducktail (no pony emblem). I will wait until the Foose hood makes it on the car as that will help with determining the right approach.





Stock GT spoiler


V6 Spoiler

I think the Roush is the best looking rear spoiler

ducktail would look good though

I'm normally a fan of CDC's DT, but I think that the GT500 might look better on yours. Since you're going w/ the Foose hood, I'd also strongly consider the Foose DT.

I think it looks good both ways, yet if it were me I would use the V6 spoiler on the vert's. They just need a little something back there, especially seeing how you have the hood scoop. If you didn't it might pull off the no spoiler look a little better.

Ducktails look good on just about anything there put on.

I used the V6 spoiler on mine, I didn't want the expense of filling the holes in the trunk lid. However if I had it my way I would have no spoiler or SAT antenna.

When the time comes for the GT/CS covers I might have them filled at that time.

Sorry, I don't think that helped your decision at all...

Thanks for all the input. I will post up some more in a few weeks after I get the hood done as I know that is going to totally change the look. But I am really leaning towards some type of ducktail (Foose or CDC)

Nice, I just did a wash and wax the other night. Mmm DP Extreme Foam Formula soap, filtered water, two bucket method with grit guards, dried, polished with Meguiars M80 via Meguiars G100, glazed with Poorboys Black Hole, waxed with Poorboys Natty Red. Hyperdressing on the fender liners, undercarriage, tires, and the motor detailed. **** it looks good!

I'm biased, but I think the CDC DT is the best looking spoiler out there.

The Foose is too clunky. I would go with the V6 or CDC. V6 is the cleanest, IMO.

I'm actually not a fan of the spoiler-less look. I know a lot of people like it, but if I'm voting....I say add one of the spoilers. As for the DT's, I like the CDC the best, although I think it looks bigger in pictures than in person in case you haven't seen one in person lately. Fortunately, you have a lot of good choices.

I'd get the GT500 spoiler.
