Thanks guys!

The new GT500 spoiler is now installed, minus the Gurney flap, to be installed shortly :

Finished installing the GT500 rear spoiler (stuck on the Plasti-Dipped Gurney flap), cleaned it up, and went out for a drive and to take some new pics

Looks great Gabe. You are doing very tasteful mods to your car. I like it.
Oh yeah,.....how'd you enjoy the weather today?? Finally, huh?
Tomorrow maybe be a bit better than today.

I love it.
I had a bit of a scare while I was out driving around, I couldn't see the Gurney flap on the spoiler anymore, I thought it might've flown off while I was out driving around, misbehaving a "bit" ... pulled over and it was still there

Thanks man, I've always been into tasteful / not-overdone.
As far as the weather, I LOVED it, looking forward to tomorrow ... a buddy is supposed to come by to help me with my tiling project in the bathroom, I think we may end up taking the Mustang out instead, lol

Hahah yeah I like how you can see it, I went to this spoiler from a spoiler delete so seeing it in my rear view was a pleasant surprise

Yeah, the first time I noticed it I was a little startled but pleasantly so, then I kept looking, getting a kick out of being able to see it back there, lol

Today I installed the Airaid Race CAI, Plasti-Dipped rainshield, Bama tuner with their hybrid 93-octane tune, and a WebElectric 3rd-brake-light pulser.

Airaid was nice enough to only include 1 of the 2 large clamps needed to secure the coupler between the filter and tube, I had to go to a hardware store to get another clamp.

Yup.

Twice

Just came back from the second "road test" actually. I think I was more impressed this time than the first time

I just got my used-oil results for the Amsoil 10W40 XL oil that I used from 5,005 to 10,092 miles, and the stock 10k-mile rear-diff fluid, which turns out was full of crap ...

Not feeling the covers in the corners and I think a ford oval should replace the airaid sticker. :justmakingsuggestions
