Dave and John... I know what you mean about the factory spoiler holes. My advice to you is save up and have your trunk holes welded and have the trunk repainted. Spend the extra money to have it look right. Trust me... it's worth it. It costed me $250 for that, plus the ducktail was about $300 shipped, and then $187 to have it painted and striped. So, about $750 all together... but well worth the money IMO. If you don't wanna spend that kinda cash... wait for the Shelby ducktail to come out... supposedly it covers the factory holes (I could be wrong) and it looks pretty cool.
Thanks. It sits VERY flush. It just sticks up the width of the plastic... which might be a 16th of an inch. It's not like some of the CDC pics I've seen where it's sticking up right there by the bumper. And that area actually has a lip on it, so the fender actually sits "in" it and makes it look even more flush. Since there is 3M tape all around the perimeter of all 3 pieces, it's never gonna stick up. I took the car up to about 135 earlier today and had no problems. And I haven't even screwed it down with the supplied "oiptional" screws... although I might when I have the time. Not like I think it'll need them... but just for security issues.

I couldn't agree more. I think my wife is actually getting jealous when I take her out now.

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?

Thanks for the pictures. I like the lip better on yours more than mine but I like the no 3rd brakelight better on the CDC. I don't think you can go wrong with either the Street Scenes or the CDC spoiler. It all depends on what you like better. Nice job Ian!

Some people like the third brake light... some don't. I like the stock third brake light myself, and that was the main reason I chose the SS ducktail. And as you can see from the pics, it really looks good how Street Scene did it.
#28
I love the SS ducktail but I was wondering if they were going to make one without the 3rd brake light. I was just wondering becuase when the glassback comes out I belive that has an integrated brakelight and I have to have a glassback. It is the coolest thing ever.
#29
At this point I dont see us making one without the third brake light. Thats the nice thing about aftermarket accessores and compitition. You get to choose from a couple of diffrent styles- thats what makes your car individual. Its your taste. We are working on a deck spoiler now that covers the stock holes. Its not a duck tail wing. Its a completely diffrent look. More to come....

I'm not sure if Mike is gonna want to single out a particular distributor. He's got to stay neautral, being the manufacturer. But, I can tell you that I got my Street Scene ducktail from www.musclecardirect.com for a great deal, and they have the SSE generation 2 louvers for just under $160. Tell Frank that Ian sent you. He's a good guy, and I recommend him and his company.

Acadian,
Thanks for the info!!!!
By the way your car looks Great! Keep up the great work.
My understanding is the ducktail can be put on with just tape or with the tape and some screws? is this correct?
When you installed yours how did you attach it, and are you confident that it will stay in place?

Ford Racing- What Acadian said is correct and is a great source. If you would like other options for distributors, you can call our toll free line tomorrow at 888 477 0707. Debbie, Jim or Kat can give you a list of other distributors to try. You might also pick up any Mustang enthusiast magazine to see who advertises Street Scene. Other than that, I have to stay neautral. The Gen 2 louvers are on our shelves now so they can be delievered right away. Thanks for your interest!

"Thanks, Gordon. I installed mine only with the 3M tape. It goes all the way around the perimeter. It holds real strong. I took the car up to about 135 and it did fine. I pulled on it a little when I got home and it was as tight as it was before I left. There are 4 screws (two for the middle piece and one each for the side pieces) and I will probably go ahead and put those in. Not because I'm afraid of it coming off, but maybe someone trying to take it off. "

Thanks, Vegasjay.
And Mike... hilarious, bro.
I should have ended my post with, "professional driver (not!) on closed course (NOT!)". And maybe, "don't try this at home".
