I need to get a new spoiler so as i can finish my paint job......So for now im gonna remove the spoiler and paint it with no spoiler. I eventually want a s281, and need to know if i need to fill any holes before i paint it. Also, what is that other brand spoiler thats similar looking? thanks...

I dont think you have to fill anything? You use some doublesided 3M tape though somewhere along the lines to install it.

The boss is similar but nothin as sexy as that S281.

I bought mine from Kaenan over the telephone.
No tape needed--aligned perfectly with both original holes; needs no major paint prep & bolted on in 2 minutes. Comes w/bolts--you only need a couple washers.
Great quality too--about $215 to my door--& you're nearby so that'd probably be about what it'd cost you.
Ford dealer painted it for $75.
BTW---I have a green '95 like yours & it looks real good, but only Mustang fans will take notice--it's very subtle.

I think you are thinking of the Xenon spoiler.

I think it depends where you get it. I have a Saleen spoiler and through Saleen it is a direct bolt-on, but some of the aftermarket companies that made the knock-off version the wing is not a direct bolt-in, meaning you would want to fill the holes.

My Saleen S281 only came with 2 studs installed...it use's the forward holes closest to the windshield...the back ones close to the trunk aren't used. Yes that spoiler will completely cover the holes..

Check mustangsunlimited in Conn...Thats were I got mine...A friend picked it up at one of their shows to save shipping....Thats right around the corner for you...

I have heard horror stories about the saleen s281, while damn near (there has to be someone someplace who has had a bad exp.) everyone says the keanen(sp?) one is better in every way, less prep, better quality, better mount, better fit.

That wing is pure sex on the 94-98's nothing looks more bad arse, slick, and smooth.

A guy named Chad in florida has a performance shop who is a dealer. Eric (cant think of his sn) knows him. If you want, give him a call 727-571-1996.

Unless i can find someone local, when and if i get this spoiler, thats who i will be calling.

I've known Chad for years now he is a great guy to deal/know. He works at www.blueoval.com in Clearwater,Fl *note the site is a little out dated so prices may vary* Blue Oval Corral is a Kaenan dealer and highly recomend them to anybody for parts or work.

Just do a Google search for Kaenan and you'll get their site---which is useless & unattended---BUT---there'll be a telephone number. Keep calling till Kevin picks up the phone. He seems to only be in the office in the AM.
And their spoiler is not a different style, it's an exact replica of the original Saleen piece. Just better made.
It's a chore to get past Kaenan's answering machine, but you won't be sorry.
