Default Roush rear spoiler

Anyone here installed one? I like the looks of it, and am just wondering how the installation goes and the overall quality of the piece.

Thanks.

Have seen the sites pics but I want to see it on more and from diff angles liked it a lot but it is to pricey for me so I went for the 3D500

I almost bought one but the gap between the rear and side pieces looks a bit too wide.

I'm with WeinerDog, the gaps were too wide and those huge supports along the back looked out of place to me.

what huge supports?? you must be thinking 05-09 also the side pieces have to be far enough apart or they will rub.

I'll go with RoushGT1's answer!

Seriously, I guess I'm fairly predisposed to already liking the Roush deal. The looks are subjective, and I haven't heard anything here or elsewhere that clearly indicates that I shouldn't do it. While all of the GT500 styling elements are sharp, I just don't wanna go that direction. Spoiler-delete is not where I'm going either!

Now about that 5.0 badge....

Haven't done an install on one but did read up on the directions on the roush site. Looks pretty straight forward as they give you a template for the holes you have to drill. Drilling into a new car does make me nervious though.

I installed the roush spoiler on my 2010 balck mustang Gt with no spoiler. It comes with templates...just take your time and line them up. Make sure you have sharp metal drill bits and a sharp center punch to mark the holes (use one sharp tap so you don't dent teh metal). Drill the holes slowly and take your time....don't touch the drilled holes (I painted mine and used silicone caulk to seal them) It really is not difficult. It just takes time and feels weird drilling holes in a brand new car!

I understand about tapping into that metal!

Does the car need to be ordered as spoiler delete, or does it not matter?

Doesn't matter. With the stock spoiler off I've been told you re-use all the stock bolt locations and the only holes you drill are on the rear quarters. It's been said removing the stock spoiler is a PITA though...
