I think the spoiler delete looks best when you have the GT500 rear diffuser. The stock one looks too plain.

^ this exactly. ordered a red candy/saddle GT.

only 2 options:

443 (don't want to hear it... it's my daily driver) &
13D spoiler delete

I'm doing spoiler Augment, not delete. To me it looks like a short-eared cat without SOMEthing back there.

To me the shape of the rear demands it.

i'ld agree w this on the 05-09, they look unfinished w/o one but the '10+ trunk is sculpted and the stock spoiler looks like an afterthought. the gt500 one is nice

Removed the stock spoiler and installed the GT500 spoiler yesterday. Took a photo of it with spoiler removed and with the adhesive all cleaned off. To me the car without a spoiler looks like it has a docked tail. Incomplete somehow. But that's just my opinion.

I am loving the GT500 spoiler and must say that I am glad I went OEM/Ford on that, eve though it cost me about $100 more to do that. After dealing with removal of the original spoiler and looking at that and the 4-bolt GT500 spoiler, I would not want to go with just 2 mounting bolts as the 3DCarbon piece has.

I ordered my 2012 kona blue gt with spoiler delete. I like that sano look. No spoilers, no louvers, no stripes, no non-functional hood scoop. I hate that boy-racer type stuff but to each his own.

I see your point too! Posted my pics in a thread in the '10-'14 Exterior Mods section.

My '93 Corolla has no rear spoiler so it is my bob-tail car, LOL.

My own opinion on the car without the spoiler is that from a lot of angles, the back end begins to look a little like the Nissan Altima or something similar. Slightly--SLIGHTLY--reminiscent of my 350Z rear end as well, though obviously not quite so sloped toward the front. It's hard for me to look at it and think, "yeah, that's a mustang" without the spoiler on it. But again, that's just me.

I like cars a lot more without spoilers tacked on.

I feel as if the design was created without the spoiler in mind!

Most newer Fords seem this way. Case and point, my 2012 Focus:

13D was the first option I ask my salesman to check on the order form. He got a dumb founded look on his face. I then emphasized how important spoiler delete was. So, five weeks later when I viewed my window sticker online guess which option was missing.

I reordered to my salesman's dismay.

i can't stand salesmen like that, if you don't order the most popular, most common... blah blah blah, they make you feel retarded. good thing you noticed.

I've spoken to my dealer about this kind of thing, and my salesman told me he owns two shelbys and understands my concerns, and will double- and triple-check the order specs with me and ford before placing. I have had a hate/hate relationship with car dealers before speaking with 05FordGT here and digging to find the guy I'm working with now. I know dealers have to make money, but they'd be a lot less vilified if all of them were more like our friend Jeff on here. If I hadn't found the guy here in Texas, I'd have gone to Pennsylvania and bought from Jeff if I could.
