The spoiler is an OE Ford Accessories Pedestal, part# AR3Z-634421-CA, which I bought from the dealer where I bought my Boss, and the salesperson arranged for me to buy it at employee pricing for $289. A template is included with the spoiler to help locate where to drill the extra 4 holes needed by the pedestal spoiler. The paintwork on the upper portion of the spoiler was done by the dealer's bodyshop for $135. And I did the install myself. Your can serarch TMS for tips on the install.

Thanks for the info, Steve. Looks awesome. I have a $50 credit at my Ford dealer, so I may get this project going.

I cut some rubber washers down to where they wouldn't show or stick out beyond the carriage screw head. Then I tightened them down. The bad side of that is to get them tight enough to not leak it deformed the decklid

But its what I had to do till I can have the holes filled and the decklid re-painted. If I could find someone with a Kona that wants the pedestal spoiler I would trade them my decklid for theirs in a heartbeat to avoid that if possible.

You're welcome. Here's a sideview of the spoiler on my Boss. IMHO it needs this spoiler to compensate for the forward angle of the tail lights.

I am leaning towards the CS spoiler at this point...SO my question is, to install the spoiler will it require hole drilling or is it attached another way? Is hole drilling something I want to avoid at all costs or is it not that big of a deal? I am probably going to grab the spoiler from American Muscle, links to the two I am trying to decide on are below. Any other recommendations on where to buy or anything else will be appreciated.

Hey Pablo, I am re-reading your post "Spoiler Installation Question ". I am swapping out my stock 2011 GT spoiler for a Shelby GT500 spoiler, because it uses the same stock four holes for mounting. Mine should arrive in a few days. Would you be interested in buying my original stock GT spoiler? My car is Race Red, so you may have to paint it. But my car has only 1250 miles on it, and it is garaged. Let me know.
