jaydub Mach1 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think I may be like many on the forum. I was sure I was going to add a rear spoiler. I mean the rear end looked neck-ed!! But, now that I have it, I scratched that idea. The other was to replace the silver stripes with Guardsmen Blue ones, like the early cars. But, I am beginning to like the silver ones, now. I probably won't do that either. Of course, that leaves more $$$ to do other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyCobra826 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Black cs56 wheels, but no one could ever confirm whether or not these would give me more brake "options" than the factory wheels (by which I mean Hawk pads and PowerSlot rotors...). You would have thought that an extra 1" of width would account for something... I'd also say Paxton supercharger, but this isn't dead yet: I just haven't convinced the wife of the need for it!

Webba Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 S/C...I may still do it next year but Im holding off for now. I also was thinking spolier but I love the look without it now that I have had it a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankieboo69 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I agree with you the back of them look naked without a spoiler!!! I had my dealer through the one i want in on the deal , and had to wait till it got back instock at Shelby. then took my car back to ford and had it installed by them!!!! Everyone who has seen my car before and after the spoiler has all said the same thing that it looks alot meaner with it, i agree completly! B) Here is a pic for you!!!!!!

frankieboo69 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Is the spoiler not flush to the rear quarter panels? This is the first time I am really noticing a gap. The spoiler sits copletely flush except the last 3" on both sides , yeah they look like they are unless you get the right angle, these are the same on the GT500 !!!!!

I like it I guess...I don't know, I could go either way with it honestly. I still like the V6 sedate and low spoiler best to tell ya the truth. hey, BTW: I used to live in Sunnyvale!

I did the same thing and the car looks really good with that spoiler-my $0.02. They sit the same way on the GT500-keeps them from damaging the paint on the quarter panels. As far as other mods, I haven't done any engine mods except billet caps. I have considered cams, underdrive pulleys, new tune, headers, hi-perf cats and many more, but have decided I really like it as is. I may still try long tube headers in the future. But, currently not planning anything short term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyGT/SC Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have pics in my picasa site with 2 SGT's side by side. One has the GT500 spoiler (Tim's car) and the other (Ed's car) has none. Might help those undecided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
