Torched10 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) well today i bashed into a concrete divider in parking lot on my 2014--car rolled foward when i was engaging clutch and put a decent size gash.attached is pic AFTER i cut off all the dangling plastic and sanded it by hand with 400 and 2000 sandpaper--then sprayed with armor all. Is trhere a way to improve it--i was thinking of buffing it flat so teh gouges wouldnt show but dont that of thatll make it worse.I had my last shelby 5 years and never did this.

Torched10 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Ps. Well used some back to black mothers vinyl protectorsnt -- it has a tiny amount of grey stain on it. Soaked it on the gash and it looks decent now. I'll probably still get. A new one because I know it's there.See if the Ford dealer will throw a new one on if I buy the pilots from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejaeggi Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 the extra spoiler attaches to the bottom of the one you scraped so the marks may still be visible. not sure, I never installed my lower spolier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks Mike. I put some gloss clear on it. Looks decent. I know it's there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 the extra spoiler attaches to the bottom of the one you scraped so the marks may still be visible. not sure, I never installed my lower spolier. +1. Unfortunately, Torched10, the damage WILL still be visible. If your dealer isn't willing to cut you a deal, you might try AutoNation Ford of White Bear Lake (formerly Tousley Ford). They offer VERY competitive pricing on OEM parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hamilton Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 What is the part number on bottom part of the 13/14 spoiler? I scrapped mine pulling in the driveway the day I bought it. Thought about just removing the lower part and just keep the new spoiler in the box for now since it's also my daily driver.

Agreed on this as they cut me a hell of a deal on some SVT parts. Sorry to hear about your luck with the splitter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a mini torch and my Mechanix Work gloves. Heat the affected area then smooth it out with the leather gloved finger. Looks just like original, you'll never even notice it even KNOWING it was there. I say MINI torch, not propane torch (butane too). Mine is a Blazer, can be got all kinds of places.

When I got a quote for a new spoiler from Steve and he advised me to just go to my local and buy it because the shipping on them is crazy. Buying it locally cost me somewhere around 20 bucks more than from Tousley and when I got it, I understood why the shipping would be so much. The box is HUGE. Like 7 or 8 feet long, 2 feet wide and about 8 inches deep. Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks Phil. Wish you lived nearby. I'd probably melt the whole car if I tried that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotontom Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Have to wonder how many people don't scrape the bottom spoiler. In our area the road crowns and drain gutters are very often pretty steep. hard to avoid scraping it. Understand why they were designed this way, I will make sure I replace it with a new one before attempting 200 mph, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Actually it scraped the top. The road sloped down and when I released brake and pushed clutch in it rolled fwd and scraped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hamilton Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I ordered the lower 3-piece spoiler through Fairway Ford in Canfield, Ohio on 23 Sept and got it today (25 Sept). It was off their e-Bay site $129 to include shipping from UPS. I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
