How is the third brake light set up? LED or Bulb? Is it plug and play or do you have to splice wires? Another thing is $220(Give Or Take) for paint and install too much? That's what I was quoted from a Ford/Honda body shop.

the 01 saleen spoiler i have has to be spliced. as far as the paint, i dind't pay anywhere close to that, i paid about a hundred bux less

Well the shop knows about Saleen's poor quality? So he said it would depend on how good or bad the condition is. I trust this place because they fixed my old Explorer and my moms van and they did excellent jobs. And they specialize in Fords too. It was about $200 without install.

well when i installed my spoiler it took about a week for it to 'seat' to my decklid. at first it didn't fit quite right, but after that it fit pretty good. so that's prolly what they are talking about when they say poor quality. saleen isn't exactly known for good fitment like that

well i had to get an anchor screw for each side. the one i bought only had two screw holes
other than that it's pretty straight forward 
oh & if you are doing that & letting it seat, you may as well not hook up the lights until it has seated to it. since you are gunna be taking it off as soon as it has settled

Thanks. As for the lights, my Mustang is my daily driver. I need the third brake light so I don't get pulled over. Cops in my town are anal when it comes to lights and plates. I'll have to hook up the lights.
its an LED and they go bad, i just replaced mine. its a common problem. as far as install, id guess its going to be a PITA and i would leave it to a shop but thats just my opinion. 220 isnt bad considering they said it might depend on quality. maybe show it to them see if they think it will be less after they see it/judge how hard its going to be. good luck.

I just pulled out my stock light, since I ran the 3M tape around the entire wing, cut the plug off the stock light, and soldered it up to the new one.. that way I have a plug to disconect it, if for some reason I decide to pull the wing off.. Otherwise, you could probably just crimp the wires on, or solder them up.
Have fun installing the wing!
Have fun installing the wing!

Good idea. I'll most likely have the shop do it since they're painting it anyway.
