BTW - I dont think a ducktail is a "wing" type spoiler. I think its considered a "lip" type spoiler.
I've put it off for now. I'm not 110% sure I'll like the look, plus with purchasing, paint and istallation, I could be looking at close to $500, the way I figure it. I also just went out on a whim and put a short-throw shifter.

So, all that combined, I've backburnered the Ducktail...for now.

Personally I have not experienced it....I never have one complaint about the scoops!

Or the windows are down and the whine from the S/C and the sound from the side exhaust are kicking as I hear nothing but motor!

Or the windows r up and at 80+mph I am too busy concentrating on the road and sound of the motor (to hear when to shift next). It should be solved with a shift light


so no sound on my end!

jvecero3, sorry you didnt get the ducktail as I think they look better than the stock wing. I have no spoiler myself but may one day desire a change.

As for $500 for a ducktail - I got a set of Agent47 side mirrors that ended up costing that much once they were painted so its all relative.

Yeah, I definitely agree that it looks better than the stock wing. It is definitely still on my radar.

Really, what it came down to is that fact that I just didn't feel like spending that kind of money right now.

I just ordered this spoiler.

http://www.eliteautostyling.com/imag.../wtfoabs01.jpg which comes prepainted for $250. I will be installing it next couple of weeks. The paint looks like a perfect match, and it uses two of the existing spoiler holes from the GT spoiler, and covers the other two holes.
