I'm a bit biased toward the GT500 'cause that's what I have, but the Roush is freaking sick as well. It'll give you that badass dragster look. They don't look good on V6's tho. The meatier looking GTs suit them better.

I think to an extent even the stock spoiler is functional. That's what I had on mine and I remember it did have downforce. There was once a fly that got stuck on it and couldn't escape until I came to a stop.





Though this is probably the exception and not the rule, I had to go through three spoilers from the Spoiler Store before I got an acceptable one... and even then it wasn't perfect. But since it's not the real deal I decided it was fair enough.
How do you know the fly wasn't just along for the ride because he really likes your car? He did leave when you stopped.

I didn't get the high mount brake light. I asked CDC if it was illegal not to have the light and they said there were only 3 states where it was illegal... I don't recall which ones they were now but Michigan was not one of them. I've never had any problem about that.

Has anybody ordered from them?
I ordered from them about 10yrs ago! I ordered a saleen s351 wing for a 1995 I used to have. Quality was good, no problems.

The 3rd light has been required since 86 on cars and 94 for trucks. Technically it is illegal to not have it operational, or to cover it. Having said that, I doubt that is gonna be something a cop looks for to pull you over unless he is looking for a reason to stop you.

What do you mean by "they don't look good on V6s tho. The meatier looking GTs suit them better"?

The bodies are pretty much the same. What's "meatier" looking about a GT? I know the engine's meatier on a GT, but you can't see that unless you lift the hood....... Just wondering

I used to not like the spoiler-delete, but now I like it a lot.

As far as spoilers go, for me it's either stock GT or Cervini Pedestal (American Muscle has it). I like how the Cervini one looks all old school. http://www.americanmuscle.com/cervin...stal-wing.html

The bad thing about the Cervini, is that it requires drilling holes and that kinda sucks if you ever want to return the stock one for whatever reason.

I've been thinking of buying a black GT take-off spoiler from newtakeoff.com. It's pretty cheap and I like black spoilers.
