The shape's not bad, but for the money I'd go with a better known brand. Also, for some reason I've never found high-resolution pictures of extreme dimensions parts, they are always small and covered with their name. Makes it hard to appreciate what the actual part looks like, and that says a lot about a company.

Classic design concepts has spoilers like that. i had one on my 05 vert, the only difference is that they lack the cut out for the brake light, which is better looking IMHO. anyway, they still have some of them pre painted, they were used on the defunct foose stallion. they do require some drilling though. I installed mine with a bunch of 3M tape and didn;t drill, it stayed on there for 8 months without issue and i actually tried really hard to remove the thing. i think i could have lifted the car by that spoiler and it would have stayed on.

I just ordered the cdc ducktail for my blue mustang and it is sitting in my apartments office right now. I had one on my old mustang and IMHO its the best looking spoiler for the car. $175 +$19 for shipping from CDC.

Thanks Guys. I realize its a duck tail. I think i was getting at if anyone had used this brand and/or what they thought of the shape as duck tails vary between makers. I really like the CDC and think that is the one to get Considering that the one I put up is also made by the Hot Wheels company.
