Nice, that's about what I paid. You going to install yourself? You can check out my thread on doing so

Yeah I'll put it on myself.
Should be much easier than the one I installed on my Charger which didn't have a spoiler to begin with, drilling that first hole sucked, lol.
But the Stang already has a spoiler and I think the GT500 spoiler uses the same holes.
Guess the hardest part will be removing the stock spoiler, from what I've read on here ...
Gonna have a Ford dealership paint it I think. The same one that did an awesome paint-match on the new mirror I needed when the car was delivered to the dealership with a broken-off pass-side mirror

Oh ok. Yeah that's going to be simple. For some reason I thought you had spoiler delete like me

Performance test results after the CAI/tune. Couldn't find a great straight line, bit of a curve on the start, still better than the before test. Of course I had to change setting on the iPad and didn't get to save those results.

0-60 MPH 5.6 seconds
1/4 Mile 13.8s@110.5 MPH
Top Speed 124.4 MPH
Brake Time Incomplete
Peak Horsepower 449 HP
Peak Torque 371 ft-lbs

Pretty much! Did break loose a bit going into third. Can only imagine the look the truck driver at the rest stop got.

Today the suspension from a 2011 GT500 with 10 miles on it went into the 2007 GT, handling is sweet and got about 3/4 drop.

My strut tower brace is all painted, just drying.
Got about 3-4 coats of primer, 3-4 coats of color, and 3-4 coats of clear.
I LOVE how it's looking right now.
Can't wait for tomorrow to install it!!
