that's a bummer. I always thought the magnetic idea was genius :/

I then sprayed the back of the vinyl tint and put it on the light. After moving it around for a while I finally got it lined up. Then I sprayed the outside of the vinyl tint with the soap and used a felt covered squeegee to push the bubbles and water out. Next I used a hair dryer to make the tint stick a little better. Then I put the MMD tail light surrounds on.

I was thinking about doing something with the spoiler. Never thought about the bottom of it. That's a great idea!

IMO it's the best spoiler look you can get on a 2011+ mustang

That black underside that comes factory on the CS cars is actually a plastic piece, not just paint or vinyl. I was surprised by it. It'd be worth a little time with plasti-dip to try to re-create though, I love the look. (Although you can't tell on a black car, lol)

OP, I'm honestly surprised, I like it.

Looks nice! I ended up paying $100 to have mine painted this Feb. had the magnetic panel for 2 years prior and the paint blistered under it.

My car originally came with the little spoiler. I bought the one I have on there off of Ebay pre-painted. I thought it looked pretty familiar to the GT/CS spoiler. Was hoping the bottom would be black. I think I might take it off this weekend and spray the bottom.

Thank you. I also did not know it was a plastic piece. Learn something new everyday.
