Spoiler delete is OK, but not my cup of tea. You will get many comments on personal opinions. I've read in the past, some people bought plastic caps to cover the wholes on the trunk. Try using the search function and type in spoiler delete. Good luck!

I hear ya bro! There maybe members that know of a reputable company that sells spoilers at a reasonable price, hopefully they will chime in.
My wheels are the Cobra "R" model, which were popular on the older models. I have wheel spacers, which allows the wheels to fit properly.

You can get GT spoilers from new take off. Think they were around $100. Otherwise you can find something else. People have gotten spoilers from the spoiler store on ebay. The reviews on that vendor here has been hit or miss though, but apparently the price is right.

You have wheel spacers? Those wheels must not be 98-04 offset then cause on our cars they stick out already, spacers would make it worse with the 98-04 offset.



OP, Sounds like you possibly have a Steeda spoiler? Pics?

GT500 from the spoilerstore at ebay. Mine is perfect. Price is so right. Stock wing is awful IMO, I can only imagine what yours looks like. $120 shipped, and it completly changes the look of your stang.

Wheels from the previous s197 stangs will fit our cars but just stick out a little. I use bullitts from an 02 with my drag tires. They look cool.

ok thanks ill check it out for sure!.. and yea it made my car look like a rice rocket like the guy before me tried making it an import or something idk i took it off and repaired his damages he left behind like minor surface scratches and the excess glue from it being slopped on.. and i went to the hardware store and got the plastic plugs and shoved them in the holes the car looks mean.. im going to try and get some pictures up on here soon.. and another question my wheels are polished i was wanting to make them black till i got my different wheels... at the auto parts store dupi-color makes a wheel paint kit to put a black tint on them and comes with clear coat.. the more coats the more black.. i was wondering if it would look cheap or if it could be done well and hold up for awhile till i got new ones??
