Has anyone here converted a mustang from a spoiler to a ducktail? I know ducktails leave holes from where the spoiler was. Is there something out there that will seal and plug the holes left over? I think I could live with some plugs that can be painted to match the paintjob of the car. I'm mostly wondering because I'm thinking of buying a used mustang, but most of them have the spoiler. It'd be nice to know there's something that covers the holes. I've seen one that has metal brackets to plug the holes and it looks ugly.

 

have a body shop fill the holes and repaint the decklid

or find one with a spoilerless v6 and see if they want to even swap

 

I've seen two options on this.

1. Have the holes welded and painted. Acadian did this http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?ac...ndpost&p=387825
2. Find someone with the same color stang that would be willing to swap their trunk for your trunk. There's a thread on here about a Canadian guy who had it swapped at a Ford dealership in upstate New York.

 

Talk about a big pain in the hiney though . . . . to have to swap a deck lid or have a body shop fill the holes in. Should have just gotten the spoiler delete option.

You mentioned plugging them up.
Go over to the Corral or StangNet and look in the 99-04 sections. There are several posts telling how to plug up the holes and what to use. No spoiler delete option back then so a lot of guys were doing this.

 

3D Carbon's ducktail will cover the holes from the factory spoiler.

 

CDC has this.

I'm sorry, but those little white pieces look like crap :notnice: :notnice:

 

yup, very rice if you ask me. classic should have done something else as far as a different material color matched.

 

That's the exact thing I don't like. Those metal supports look tacky and ugly.

 

 

Spoiler delete option is the way to go

The rear ducktail that Keanen makes for Blow By Racings BBR LNR kit covers the factory holes also. I'll finally be posting pictures next weekend, Weather Keanen finishes the rear bumper cover or not, If we have to go without the rear cover, we're finishing this car next week, either with the rear cover or without. If nothing else we'll paint and put the rear cover on later, when Keanen finishes.

 

How soon are you looking to buy? I'm ready to sell mine very soon.

wow those white things look horrible

 

Didn't you guys know that those pieces are fitting your luggage rack?

 

Those things from CDC are not supposed to look cool guys :nono: . Seriously, even though on their website they call it a "nifty hole filler", it's just a cheap easy solution to get people by.

 

I removed the spoiler off my 96GT and used plastic hole fillers that I painted to match my car. If you go this route, be sure to put on lots of coats.

 

Have you seen 3D Carbon's ducktail from the thread on the external mods?
