RE: Definitive 05/06 ducktail + spoiler thread
Here are some pics of the Xenon spoiler I installed yesterday. And it does cover the factory holes.

Can you please post some pics of the C-wing? I am trying to decide between Street scene, 3d carbon, and C-wing. Thanks

To my knowledge.....the Roush, both Steeda's, GEFRacing, Xenon, Cervini, StreetScene Gen2, and BBR spoilers all use or cover the stock holes. I'm not 100% sure about the others at this time. I believe all the 3DCarbon wings cover or use the stock holes also.

RE: Definitive 05/06 ducktail + spoiler thread
Finally I got my 3dCarbon tail in today! It almost took a month to get it in. I ordered it pre-painted and it looks great! No fish eyes or trash in the paint and with my car being white the paint is dead on! I will post some pics of the before and after shots. If anyone wants some shots of the spoiler off the car or anything special let me know something before this weekend. If anyone has installed one of these ducktail on there car and has some special insight, I’m all ears! Now, I'm already looking at stripe kits and I do have my ducktail on my car. I'm going to go "old school" a top and side blue stripe kit for Ford Racing. See pic below! I'll need to get my mirrors painted white quickly before the wife starts asking questions about the cost of my new toys and then she will want something new herself!

RE: Definitive 05/06 ducktail + spoiler thread
One more thing to add to this thread. I spotted an Ebay auction selling the Xenon for $205 + $20 shipping. I called a local guy, Bret Carson, who owns a company called Dealership Designs to see if he could match the price, since he carries this spoiler design. This particular design, marketed by Xenon, is manufactured using a urathane mold.
Urathane is a good material for bumpers but spoilers made from urathane are inferior to fiberglass because they tend to not hold their shape as well, and require more prepping due to pinholes in the injection process. It is apparently cheaper to manufacture with urathane than fiberglass, which probably explains the big price difference. Bret quoted me $400 for a fiberglass one, painted and installed.
