RE: Definitive 05/06 ducktail + spoiler thread
I've heard that spoilers/ducktails made out of urethane tend to warp or develop ridges, because they don't hold their shape as well as fiberglass. Not sure if that's what is going on with your 3DCarbon spoiler or not. What material is it made of? I've seen a few cases of "bumped, warped, and rippled" spoiler products appearing on the forum in the last few weeks. I guess it's time to start researching exactly what each of the available kits out there is made of, and how prone to shape-stretching they are once exposed to the elements.

The 3 Piece Rear “Duck Tail” spoiler is manufactured in High Pressure polyurethane. I called the vendor, and guess what I have coming as a third replacement? The GT 500 replica, its not made of the same material, and won't have the rippling effect.

What could happen? Not sure on what your getting at here. Difference is its, one piece, doesn't sit flush on the tail ends, and slightly different angle. I would have kept the 3 piece, if it wouldn’t have been for the defects.

The vendor in which sent me the replacement 3 piece which was defective as well doesn't need them back. So before I toss them in the trash does anyone need the side pieces which are flawless?
Thanks
Thanks

RE: Definitive 05/06 ducktail + spoiler thread
Hey HottyMustang..........I too have the SSE duck bill spoiler. Did you install it yourself or have a body shop install? Also did your spoiler have any flaws? Mine looked like it was dragged on rough concrete. The corners were not crisp. To make matters worse my installer screwed it up by removing and re-installing it 3 times. Of course now it is seperating from the deck lid. Did you use the two supplied screws with your unit?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am now in the position of having to purchase a new spoiler, paint it, and install it after I already paid someone to do it. [:@]
Thanks for your help.

I just got another quote from a privately owned paint & body shop and it was $857 for everything. I know this guy does quality work also, the cost for paint/supplies is about $330 and the rest was labor.

I just got a quote on getting that exact same spoiler painted/installed, holes fixed, cdc louvers painted/installed, and the optional 3rd brake light kit installed. The quote is from a Ford dealership, but I've got a few more places I'm going to get a quote from before I have it done.
Quote:
$93.00-------mechanical labor(brake light kit)(1.5hrs)
$231.80------body labor(6.1 hrs)
$619.40------paint labor(16.3 hrs)
$423.80------paint(16.3 units of paint)
$15.00-------body supplies
$35.10-------tax
$1418.10----total
He said it could actually be more or less depending on how much time it actually took.

The body is a friend of mine so were gonna just do it one weekend. We will weld. I dont know what he would charge to have it done but i could ask.

Oky, here are some pics of the DCF ducktail spoiler. Sort of a combination of the Streetscene and CDC ducktails: has the Streetscene's flared shape and blocks out the third brake light like the CDC.[8D]
