If you have any intention of EVER putting a ducktail on, delete the spoiler. It will save you in the long run because you won't have to get the holes filled.

Don't get the spoiler. The car looks so much better without one. Everyone has a spoiler, be unique.

yeah thats what i thought the ducktail was but wasnt sure. and perhaps your right without a spoiler is much more unique and im warming to the idea greatly thanks for the advice.

Im kinda Old School here. Im from the 60's and there were lots of different makes of cars with spoilers. To me spoilers say..This car is special. Something different. And usually with a bigger engine and better drivetrain. It was in the later 70s on up that spoilers got a bad rep as something put on low powered cars just to generate enough interest in the crappy car to sell it. The 2005 Mustang GT is indeed a very special car, and Im proud to have a spoiler on mine. Amen. [sm=patriot.gif]

I agree with redfire's post. The only down sides are if you are going for the Bullitt look, which means no rear spoiler. And it does block the rear view a little...

I'm with Redfire too. I like the classic 1969 Mach 1 look with the rear spoiler. Mine is staying as is... wouldn't want it any other way.

I followed a spoiler equiped mustang on the interstate the other day - we were both travelling a little over the speed limit. And boy was that spoiler flexing a lot! So in my humble opinion deleted is the way to go as it is a weight saving, an air flow improvement, and it doesn't look funny flowing around when you pass someone.
