2010 Shelby GT500 Spolier
#15
I bought one of the S2000 ones off eBay and it was OK but looked a little out of proportion. Someone here (think it was the guy with the black 'vert) said he just cut off the metal part of the stock antenna. That's what I did. Looks much better. I used a Dremel and little touch up paint.
AM reception is fine, I don't know or care about FM.

What you did.
What you thought.
I went back to the stock antenna, for now.
Will have to consider that.

Regarding the original topic:
It was mentioned to me -- from a reputable source on this forum -- to stay away from dealership body shops.
I'm not sure if this applies to painting, but I was asking about work which included sheet metal alterations plus painting -- and it was presented to me in no short order that dealership body shops aren't always the best just because they sell the car.
I took this advice, went to a reputable local shop, and am very happy.
This doesn't imply a dealership can't do a simple paint job on a spoiler, by no means. But for future reference, I thought I'd throw in this fact I garnered from a helpful soul on this board.

I love the Gt500 wing. its on my list of things to do. I plan on doing the rear diffuser at the same time as the wing maybe even gonig to get the diffuser painted.
I just cut my stock antenna down to 5" and it looks perfect and I have not noticed any change of signal.

I also had my "Gurney flap" painted gloss black (it comes flat) to match the two gloss black strips fore/aft of the glass roof.
