Just got my GT500 spoiler installed and it wasnt that hard after all. Just a couple of bolts, some wd-40, and a little elbow grease and I was finished in about 30 minutes. I must say its not a bad piece for $125.00 shipped to my door already painted. I was a little worried that the red paint would not match since the car is an 05 but it was exact.

You see alot less out the back window now. It took me a few days to get used to not being able to see like you could under the factory spoiler. It looks bad azz however

It's just a million times better than that stupid pedestal. Once I fitted mine, I couldn't believe Ford ever fitted the other one as it makes the rear end eally cohesive.

From here http://stores.ebay.com/caraccessories123 If I remember correctly they offer 4 colors for that price. The others are $40 more.

I changed my mind on it. After seeing it in person its way too big and awkward.

After seeing several posts and pics I ordered one myself... think it'll look good being black.

I noticed it suggests drilling a couple of holes for mounting... are you guys that have done this drilling or getting away without having to do that?

I bought and installed the OEM GT500 spoiler, uses all 4 holes, no drilling required.

I didnt drill just used the 2 holes. The spoiler comes with 3M tape all the way around. Just prep the areas good and you will be fine.

I drilled no extra holes for mine.
You can check my thread about the install, it has pretty great detail.

A good paint job could easily cost $125. If you can get if for that painted, it is a bargain. What does shipping cost?
