so you don't like the roush spoiler?
man no offense to the rouch owners but i dont like ANYTHING that roush did to the stang... from the wheels to the spoiler. seems overdone. its just not a look that captures the feel of this stang... makes it feel like an 04 to me.

Mine came with one but I had it removed (and got a new trunk lid). That thing was just like a cancerous lump that just had to be removed...

Agreed. The stock spoiler is very tasteful and the car looks "naked" without it -- not as bad as a Lancer Evo RS but something looks missing on Mustangs sans spoiler. Some cars its the opposite. I wanted my 1997 M3 sedan without the spoiler because it looks silly with it. I've not seen the aftermarket choices for the 'Stang but aftermarket spoilers almost always look ricey to me.

I ordered my car with the spoiler because I like how it looks with it. It would be nice if you got a credit though for the spoiler delete for those who didnt get the spoiler

My spoiler came with my mustang with the sports package upgrade (also interior upgrade) that was already on the lot.
I like it. It adds to the appearance of the car. But it hard seeing when backing up into a parking spot on the road.
That I can't argue with. So I just park in bigger spots.

I like the spoiler and i have it on my car. I will probably take it off and put on an aftermarket one some day. IS the spoiler even functional, does it put down any downforce at all?

The only downforce it makes it from it's own weight (3 lbs). It will cause many times more drag than that, sorta like dragging a 30 lb sack of potatoes behind your car at highway speeds.

I chose the Roush spoiler.

I love my factory wing. Very close to the wings of the 69' / 70 mustangs, and the wing I had on my 69 Torino Cobra GT.

I don't care for the duck tail.. messes up the sleek body lines.

I don't care for NO spoiler - leaves the tail "unfinished" looking.

Seems the wing thing is VERY MUCH a personal thing. - sort of like the Red interior.. you like it.. or you don't..
i agree to him u gots to have the factory spoiler

i agree, it is too complicated looking and not simple enough like the decklid one
