I finally got my Street Scene ducktail back from the body shop painted/striped on Friday. I installed the spoiler today. My car hasn't been washed or waxed in a week, but I won't have time tomorrow after I wash it to take pics. So, here are a few pics.

The spoiler is really great quality. The fit is perfect, and installation was a breeze. I like this spoiler better than the CDC one because I get to keep my third brake light, and because it's a bit taller than CDC's. I took it out after installation to get some gas since I'll be in a rush tomorrow... and got 3 compliments on the spoiler and was only at the gas station for about 10 minutes.

Thanks, Mike... for helping me get the spoiler ASAP and for having a great product here. I highly recommend the SS ducktail.

Acadian- The car looks fantastic! You did a great job with it. I love the color and the look. It really finishes off the car. Be sure to send me some pictures and Ill post them on our web sight. Congratulations- How hard was the install for you? It looks like you really got it on straight. You have one of the first ones off the production line. Did they get it to you on time?

Thanks, Mike. The installation took about 30-45 minutes. I took my time with it, but it was real easy. Just took some time getting it all lined up before taking off the plastic on the tape and actually putting it on.

They got the spoiler to me on time, but the body shop didn't come through on their end. The painter had a family emergency, so I didn't have it for that show. But no worries. I have it now and the spoiler looks great. Next mod is going to be some 1/4 window louvers... maybe yor second generation ones. Any pics of the generation 2 louvers on your Mustang, or maybe another one? I haven't seen them yet painted and on a car.

Nice touch on the GT badge delete....I would have done the same had I chose the GT, I love the pony emblems, classic.

On the spoiler, big regret for me, I should have ordered without and gone with the ducktail....jealous.

Thanks. I took the GT fender badges off too and put running ponies there. In the future, I'll have the holes welded and have the fenders smoothed and painted.

I actually ordered my car with the spoiler and then had the holes welded and the trunk repainted. It costed $250... but you can do that if you want to. I had to have the ducktail. I ordered my car way back in April/May of last year, so didn't know about a ducktail then.

Great install job! It looks like it sits very flush on the bottom edge where it meets the bumper. It's actually is a little raised above the bumper edge, right?

Ian - looks amazing bro!



I wasn't sure I wanted a ducktail for sure until I saw a CDC one on an 05 last week - now I am in LOVE with the look on the 05. SS is the one I was waiting for too because of the third brakelight - my only problem of hesitation is the same prob you had - what to do with my factory spoiler holes...

$250 to weld and repaint huh?
How much was the DT itself and the paint for that?
