GT 500 Wing?

Has anyone put a GT500 wing on a Boss yet?
If so, pic's please!
Will it mount in the same holes as the stock Boss wing?

Thanks,
Dylan

Check the thread below for photos of a member that added the GT500 wing.

I was originally going that route with the TruCarbon version. The GT500 wing is a direct bolt on and the TruCarbon version uses the OEM Gurney flap. I changed my mind when I found out from Ford Racing that the California Special front valance and pedestal spoiler were designed for the Boss project from the beginning. Note how perfectly the Boss splitter fits on the valance. They were used on the CS to spread the tooling/development costs across more cars. The LS wing does have slightly more downforce than the GT500 wing but you probably won't be able to tell the difference unless you have Scott Maxwell as your middle name. I have a LS wing and am dropping it off today for painting when I pick up my car.

BTW I also have the 19x9 and 19x10 Ford Racing SVT PP wheels awaiting to be installed and they were developed with the Boss project. You'll see them on the development cars in the Speed documentary.

Did not know that on the wheels. Did notice them on the speed documentary. Wonder why they were changed out?

I corrected my original comment. I'm not sure they were intended for inclusion as the production wheels. More the cost for their castings were included with the Boss development or something like that.
