yeah, I am sure i will assuming I can get someone local that can match the vinyl in my stripes. I'm a bit worried about getting the new spoiler striped and it looking good. I'm hoping they have some of the grabber blue ones painted up already so i don't have to wait four weeks to get it.

My 3d500 spoiler came in today. i am so glad i ordered from cj pony parts where the gurney section is painted flat black. CJ gets them shipped direct from the factory. the paint is perfect and isntall was a snap. the hardest pary was getting the factory spoiler off the car and cleaning up the black goo. Now i just have to get teh stripes put on the new spoiler and I am golden. pics later.

For me, the MGTL exhaust is perfect: not so loud that I have to worry about a ticket, but definitely louder than stock...and MUCH better tone. There is some drone around 1600-1900 RPM, but with the 3.73:1 rear end I usually don't drive in that RPM range much.
I did the X-Pipe at the same time as the exhaust, so it's hard to differentiate, but it does have the "modular" sound I loved with my previous mustang ('99 Cobra).

pedestal spoiler to 3d500 = No Bueno
Went on vacation last week and my car was in the shop getting some body work done on the front fender and rear quarter, so I figured I would just have them swap my spoiler and decklid panel while they had it. Decklid panel went on easy, but when he went to put the new spoiler on he said the mounting holes arent the same. said the 3d500 spoiler doesnt come up far enough on the decklid and 2 of the mounting holes are exposed, and would have to be filled and painted
. That blows! I'm not trying to get into bodywork to get this thing done. Thought it would just swap out with no problems. I guess it's only a direct swap out if you have the regular spoiler. I guess I'll be keeping the pedestal on...

I guess I'll be keeping the pedestal on...I'd be willing to bet you could find someone with the same color that wants the pedestal spoiler. I'd imagine it would be simple to swap decklids.
