The Cobra wing is bolted on by 7 bolts. You will need to drill 3 extra holes on the top (basically in front of where your 3rd brakelight currently is) and 2 on the backside which is more optional and harder to measure out. The GT trunklid harness is not a direct plug and play to the Cobra spoilers brakelight wiring plug and will require splicing in. If you want everything to fit nicely and OEM looking then your best bet is to spend the $60 or so for a Cobra trunklid harness from Ford that way you can just plug it right up and also buy a Cobra trunklight. The GT 3rd brakelight piece has the trunklight embedded in it and installing a Cobra wing requires the removal of this piece.
Don't forget that your GT spoiler is held on by 4 bolts and 2 of which are used for the Cobra wing. The other 2 in front will then be exposed so it's up to you on how you want to cover them. Some people fill it in and paint over it. You can also get some nylon hole plugs and paint them to match your car and just plug them up as a quick and easy fix which is what I did.
I pretty much followed this write-up when installing mine which you can look over as well: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-foru...-write-up.html
These things are hard to find but if you can also get the trunklid I would do that too to save yourself the hassle of measuring out the holes which is pretty hard to do. I double checked mine like 7 times and in the end was off by a little bit. Overall I am pretty happy with it but plan on purchasing a termi trunklid in the future.

Wow thats a good write up. It is much easier to just buy the whole decklid, but it is also around $500 from what i've seen. Is there anywhere that sells the a bolt-on spoiler? I've been looking since I got my GT and haven't found one.

I got mine for $230 which at the time I thought was a good deal and I guess still is.
I say "I thought it was a good deal" because just a 2 months ago I stumbled by a local guy parting out a non-wrecked terminator and I picked up the trunklid and spoiler from him for $175!!! The deal of the century. To be honest I was thinking about using the trunklid and then selling the wing but I decided to be a nice friend and sell the whole thing to a buddy of mine who really wanted one for his 01 cobra for the same price I got it for.
just kidding. Youre a good friend...wish i had you as a friend. lol
