What bugs me most is the third brake light carved into the decklid. Why Ford couldn't have put it inside against the rear window like many other cars do escapes me. Some spoilers (such as the Roush & Shelby) at least mask it some and make it appear more integrated. I ordered mine without a spoiler, and I'll be considering what the aftermarket is going to offer. Alternately, maybe I'll just get a third brake light I can mount against the rear window and get the hole in the decklid filled.

 

I really hope that the next iteration moves the 3rd brake light to the top of the rear windshield (new Taurus, MKS) and also moves the antenna to the window or integrates it into a small fin on the roof.

 

I can see why they put the third brake light where it is. If it's mounted to the bottom of the rear glass, you'd have to have an alternate location for the convertible. I can see why Ford doesn't want to have two different version of the light. And I don't mind the radio antenna. Frankly, I'm not sold on having radio antennas in the windshield. On a couple of GM cars I've driven with antennas in the windshield the AM reception was terrible. And yes electronics designers, people do still listen to AM radio.

The satellite antenna (aka "trunk wart") is a real blemish. It really looks like an afterthought. I'll just have to train myself to pretend I don't see it.

 

This is the only spoiler I'd want on a '10/'11

 

Looks ok without a spoiler, but looks better with one.

 

Agreed...The Hurst spoiler is PERFECT. Too bad it's made of "unobtainium".

 

They look 100x better without the spoiler. The spoiler makes the already huge rear end look even taller.

 

Nope, it's the ugly black satellite receiver sitting right in the middle of the trunk. Somehow there seems to be somekind of partnership between Ford and Sirius so that they give you 6 months for free and then hopefully for them you renew your subscription which i did with my 2009 Escape. But i don't want it on the Mustang, and a lot of people don't want it anyways. What a bugger.

 

its also the reciever for the GPS i believe so sync or the nav know where you are

 

According to the FordEngineer on another site that was involved with the design of the current Nav system, the Sirius antenna on the trunk IS NOT for the Nav GPS, that is a Sirius thing only.

I don't understand why it isn't body colored like on so many other car makes are...

 

So where is the antenna for GPS, then?

 

Spoiler delete looks awesome, check the profile.....

 

I think that you really need to see cars with and without spoilers in person if you are undecided, preferably parked side by side like I was able to. Photos just don't do justice to the differences. It is, of course, a matter of personal preference but I prefer the sleeker look of the spoiler delete.

 

Huh. I never even notice the little black antennas until someone points them out. Looks okay to me. I like it better than having a tall silver mast on the front.

 

I think Xenon makes one similar...


I went w/ spoiler delete

 

im getting spoiler delete for a sleeper look and to shave a few pounds. im also deleting HID lights. base seats, etc.

 

If I get a '10 Mustang it will be without the rear spoiler. Without the spoiler the car has much cleaner lines and doesn't look like someboby just 'stuck' a spoiler on. W/O the spoiler you can also have a sleeper look if you go for that. My 73 Corvette has a small upturn on the rear end much like on the Mustang. The later Corvettes will the 'stuck' on spoiler did have as smooth a look. BTW my 14 year old likes the spoiler.

 

I will probably opt for the spoiler delete option. I like sleeper cars.

 

Looks much better without the spoiler!!

 

No spoiler for me too.
