I'm hoping I dont really like my original CS spoiler better...lol
And i haven't convinced myself that I love the Roush louvers either. Been trying to get them to grow on me. Although I haven't really looked the car over all that much.

Anthony, how's the spoiler coming? You will love the gt500 spoiler. The big difference over the cs spoiler is there is no gap between the trunk and the spoiler base. In the cs you can see the mounting stems, and gaps between each stem, if you will. But again, it's all personal preference.
As for the louvers, not sure on that. I am not a fan of any louvers.... But again, it is personal preference.

Yeah that was my main reason for wanting to switch spoilers, no being able to see under it lol. It's installed now. I love it but its not as high as the CS so it's a little more subtle.
I'm thinking of wrapping the gurney flap in CF Vinyl since they never painted it flat black. It's gloss like the rest of the spoiler. Also maybe CF vinyl decklid? Just not sure if the CF will look tacky...

However, as far as the gurney flap is concerned, I researched this like you, extensively. If you have one of the painted ones, then it's definitely a replica, and more than likely an American muscle brand replica. I definitely wanted the black gurney flap. But yes, painting or wrapping it black is the way to go. Matte black

You say matte black instead of CF for the deck lid and gurney?

A local body shop big into mustangs did the painting, not ford. It was a miscommunication with me originally wanting the deck-lid painted flat black. Then the next morning I called and said paint it all gloss as I decided to do a vinyl overlay. Guess they took that as do everything gloss. I'm sure if I go back hed redo it for me

Car looks great. I'd personally of gone with the Boss brake cooling duct kit instead of the fogs. How are the Falkens treating you? I've never been a big fan of their tires.
Looking forward to more pictures.

As far as the fogs, the car is a CS so that was already done from the factory.
And for the tires...Honestly, I wouldn't know a real good street tire if it was wrapped around me lol. The Falkens look sick and handle nice but as far as traction I don't know. If I smash first they spin like mad I can tell you that lol. But probably would 95% of other tires. After a quick burnout they seem to hook much better tho.....
