the wing quality as it comes sucks it takes a lot of time for a body shop to sand prep then paint not to mention it flexs constantly with the change in temp. When you bring it to a body shop they shave what needs to be taken off and wide the wholes on the lid to compensate for the sides not to rub. I also added to screws to the upper part of the bolt wholes for more strength. Double sided tape sucks you have to use like a permanent expoxy. I had to bring mine back 2 time sto body shop to have them redo the taping and still now its comin apart at bottom back so I have to bring it back. It cost me alittle over 400 all said in done with it on the car. Def a pain in the *** but it looks good in the end

Yeah, thats how they are. I sold mine cause I didnt want to deal with it. I got the entire saleen kit and ended up only installing the front bumper and side skirts. The whole thing is made of that thick, heavy, flimsy *** urethane. Although it does hold up well in small fender benders. Getting everything to fit correctly is a major PITA

Thanks for all the quick replies and good info. I had absolutely no idea it was gonna be like this when i ordered it.[&:] Im kinda pissed casue i think if i woulda known how much of a PITA it was gonna be i wouldnt have bought it but now that i have it i might as well put it on. Sitnlopro99gt yours looks awesome all finished, its after i saw a pic of yours that i bought mine. So i was thinking that i would just have it painted black like the stock spoiler so i could keep the torch red/black theme going. What do you all think? Also, are there any other things i need to know when putting it on? I know i need some sort of urethane glue and need to make the holes a lil bigger in the trunk. Anything else? Thanks for all the input and let me know what you think of me painting it black instead of red.
heres a pic of what it looks like now, im also going to fill in the mustang letters with black.

ya the black spoiler would look nice with the black inserts and the taillights.
