RE: Shelby Spoiler Arrived...
*********I HAVE ONE TOO*****************
You beat me to the post. I just received one for mine as well : )
Very happy with quality and very happy with the look!
Two problems I ran into
#1 ) Mine did not line up with factory holes! The center holes were about 1/2 in off.
#2) There are also two holes on the ends that need to be drilled into the trunk. Problem here is that they come out odd on the bottom of the trunk lid.
They go through the outer trunk lid, then through about 1/2 in of empty space then through metal again. Makes it hard to get the screw in, but it is very possible to do.
Thing I liked the best was the "lip" that falls over the back of the trunk. Makes it fit well and look smooth.

RE: Shelby Spoiler Arrived...
Hey Mike, your car looked nice and clean without a spoiler but now it looks mean, and mean is better. Your car looks very complete now.

I'll be out of town today, but I will try to get you a picture.
Only reason I put the two on the outside was that it seemed to need to be pulled down on the sides to meet the trunk lid.
Also bought a spoiler from this place for my wifes saturn a few months ago and it has holding up perfect!

I ordered on the 4th, and received it today the 16th. The OEM is not too bad to remove, just 4 bolts, and heat up the adhesive pad with a blow dryer. Cut through the adhesive with some fishing line, and pop it off....Remove the residual sticky with some Goof Off.....The Shelby spoiler is not permanently installed yet, gotta stripe it. But it installs super easy, two of the factory bolts, and pre-applied 3M tape....

I'm glad I came across this thread, gonna pick one up myself. How long did it take to receive the spoiler? How hard is it to remove the OEM and install the Shelby?
Looks great BTW!

Wow that looks great! Ducktails are pretty badass.....I alsoreally like this spoiler next to my cervinis one. Maybe for that price of 190 I'll buy one and just switch if i ever get bored.
