150mph daily? Isn't that kinda beating the hell out of that engine? These aren't NASCAR machines.

nope as long as you warm her up good first and all is well with the car, it shouldnt hurt nothing... of course i wouldnt be doing 150 with 410s or higher.. at least not for more then a minute or two.
but as long as your not revving the motor too high its not really and different then 100 (other then fuel consumption, tire wear, ect ect)

One thing I would recommend would be to have yourself and another person install the spoiler. It's very hard to do it on your own if you're trying to get it even. The last thing you want to do is lay it on the decklid with the adhesive and then have to take it off and do it again because it isn't straight. I actually had two others help me with this part... one to watch that the screws lined up with the holes and two on either side of the car putting the spoiler on.

dads are (my experiece) great help... keep an objective eye.
anyways just take your time and have the right tools ready
1/4 drive sockets and ratchet
fish line (dental floss breaks alot)
goo off
3m tape
rags and some windex to clean up excess and spills of goof off
and heavy gloves to keep the fish line from cutting into your skin
to take my oem spoiler off and clean all the crap off it took a good hour so be prepared to take your time
it should all work out for you
good luck bro

These spoilers, are they the exact same as the stocks that come with the Shelby GT500 KR?

So I got my spoiler today... I am very happy with it, but is it supposed to come with instructions? I only got the spoiler and a little baggy of bolts and stuff. Is this all it comes with?

It might be in with the packing slip on the outside of the box.

Anyone know??
