To each their own but I don't like the looks of the car without the spoiler. Are you going to do something with the trunk? Those caps just don't look right.

 

Its nice to see a picture of the holes so as to give folks options. I think that the ducktale may be the way to go now that you deleted the spoiler IMO.

 

I am in the with spoiler camp, I think it fits better with the cars retro theme. The spoiler is nearly identical to the ones used in the late '60's.

 

Did you notice the winning white Mustang in the Grand Prix race didn't need a wing?

 

I have watched Barrett-Jackson too much. The first thing I noticed about value on "classic" stangs is what's original and what's not. Not that it matters on a new car, but should the car become a classic, the #'s on your car might reflect the fact that it came with a factory wing (spoiler), and missing it.

We don't need no steenkin' nonfunctional spoilers! But seriously, I think the car looks great either way. I took the wing off my ricer and plugged the holes with plastic tabs and a dab of silicone. It isn't that noticeable, and attracts a lot less attention from :cop: and the stoplight ricers. Jeez I'm 45 it's time I start acting like it! :spin: Remember: stealth is cool!

 

Followed your lead and removed my spoiler on my wb stang. Goes to the paint shop tomorrow to get filled and painted. Also painting the outlined section on the rearview mirrors.

 

Tom - please let us know how the mirror housings look after being painted! See if you can get your bodyshop guy to tell you how he prepped the housing so the paint would stick and look smooth!!

thx - Bradley

 

Personally - I like the wing - just fits the "retro" look of the car.....it's not over the top like some of those hugh cowcatchers you see on the rear of some cars. If I was to do it all over again - I'd consider the wing delete - and install the duckbill spoiler - that's a good look on the '05's.....but just plain it looks like it needs something back there!

 

Me too. I like the spoiler on the silver 05. BUT has anyone considered painting the spoiler black? Give it the Mach 1 look? ...with the blackout between the taillights I think that would look good.

May be time for a photochop.

 

My opinion is just the opposite. I think the spoiler delete gives it more of the retro look. Especially since the roofline and trunk are copied from the '65/'66 Fastback and those never had spoilers.

 

Keep the wing in my opinion. But glad to see your happy. Nipples are always nice

 

How much is it to have the holes filled and painted, does the whole deck lid need to be painted to get it right? And would it be cheaper to buy a deck lid without the spoiler and have that put on to replace the stock one with the spoiler?

 

Lilhog you didn't happen to by that GT from Len Stoler in Owings Mills MD did you?

 

No, I bought it from Norristown Ford Norristown PA. Not my dealer of choice but they were the only one's willing to deal. They have a good sales department.

 

Unfortunately, the spoiler delete option is not available in Canada...

When I asked my dealer about a spoiler delete he said it would cost me $600 to get the spoiler deleted, meaning: the holes filled and painted... :scratch:
