FiaCobra Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Cool beans. Gonna pick one up. I actually prefer that spoiler over the one that was on my '08 GT-500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Robert, will the spoiler include a template for drilling holes in the deck lid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 This web sites claim is the v-6 spoiler has the "MOST" Downforce............... You have to wonder what data shows that. Also, what data contradicts it. I've seen neither. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelTownStang Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I never knew that there was a difference between the GT500 vs. KR spoiler until now. It actually looks smaller... flatter. Nice price, but I like the GT500 spoiler better... I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from the Show Me the Proof Camp.......... We have seen and read official and unofficial Wind Tunnel tests and statements from SVT, SAI and others that do not prove the proformence advantage with either the Original GT500 spoiler or the v-6 spoiler............ Sorry to affend those who believe everything they read and hear from SVT or SAI but I am a firm believer that the spoilers in question are cosmetic for looks and non functional for the most part.............. Until Proof shows otherwise of course................................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffIsHereToo Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I have this on my SGT and it's nice! Great compromise between the pedestal GT spoiler and the "in your face" GT500 spoiler. Great price too painted. As for where to drill...any good body shop will have no trouble getting it right. Mine didn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDT Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Any 05-09 Mustang can look cool now just like the KR............ Come get your piece of the KR and make your budget v-6 Stang stand out among the crowd................... Wait a minute..........That was the same spoiler on the v-6s before the KRs were produced...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I like my in your face spoiler. Would change a thing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Robert, will the spoiler include a template for drilling holes in the deck lid? Check the Roush site. I'm pretty sure he has a template for his spoiler he uses on the 427R. I know, I KNOW....it's a 3-piece spoiler with two winglets that mount to the body. But according to his instruction sheet, his middle piece (trunk spoiler) fits the OEM spoiler holes in the trunk and if you don't have a OE spoiler, his template has the location for the holes. I can't remember WHERE on his site they are but I know I've seen them and looked over them as I was thinking about adding a Roush spoiler to the back of my GT500 (until I saw I would have to drill holes in my quarters). I'll see if I can find the URL, if you don't find it first. EDIT: http://store.roushperformance.com/images/manuals/420011_manual.pdf That is for the 2010/11 rear spoiler and I'm not sure if the holes are the same for the earlier years. I'll look to see if I can find the earlier year template on his site HTH, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badsho Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Cant say for sure but it would make sense when SAI did the KR run .... that the bolt holes for the KR rear wing would fit in the stock location for the factory wing ...... That said I also know that all GT500's sent to SAI had no rear spoilers which leads me to my final question .. did the GT500's that became KR's have the factory holes in the trunk lid for the factory spoiler when sent to SAI for the conversion wondering minds want to know ...................

Yes they did have holes. The bolt locations are the same between all rear deck spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Do they come striped or do we have to stripe them? Dang it Robert I promised NO more money on my car but i think this might be something I will add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrayShadow Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I called a local junk yard that we do a lot of biz with and asked if they had any '05 to '09 V6 mustangs. He said they had 3. So I asked how much for the rear spoiler. 45.00 if you take it off, 65.00 if I take it off. If you really want one of those spoilers, hit the junk yards first before spending 100.00. I am sure you can get one for less than that.

Kevin 07SGT2591 So for $65 you get a road worn possibly 5 year old weathered spoiler? For a few $$ more you can have a new factory fresh one. I think I would take the factory fresh one. I'm all for saving money but think I'd be penny wise and pound foolish on such a nice car on such a visible addition going the junk yard route. Here is mine.

I'm all for saving money but think I'd be penny wise and pound foolish on such a nice car on such a visible addition going the junk yard route. Here is mine. I think its just common sense. I mean if you can find a V6 spoiler, in good condition for 45 or 50 bucks, scuff it up and spray it for around 30 bucks, why would you pay 99 then have to pay for the spray and/or stripes? I can have my guys go pick up the spoiler, prepare it and spray it, if needed, for less that 100.00. Why wouldn't I do that? As far as "road worn weathered spoiler", just because the car wound up in a junk yard doesnt mean it wasnt taken care of before it got there and I would hope that "common sense" would kick in and prevent someone from purchasing a bad spoiler! Most of those cars are bought through sales like Sadisco for instance, from Ins co's that totaled them out for some frame damage or whatever. Doesn't mean they were drove through a sand blaster its whole life. Just my opinion Kevin 07SGT2591 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Once again, a stellar performance by SPP: a brand-new part in its factory protective wrapping, carefully packed, quickly delivered. After an hour of cleaning up after the old pedestal wing, the new one is attached in all its glory. For reference: the middle picture is the old wing, the third is the low wing already on the other car. The ruler is in contact with the wings and flush with the faux cap and the rear edge of the trunk lid in both images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion Kevin 07SGT2591 That's fine but if the difference is $25, and it takes me more than 25 min total to do what your suggesting (including finding it), I'm loosing money. There's an opportunity cost for me such that it just doesn't make sense. FOR ME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 There's nothing wrong with used parts. We did try to price these to be affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
