if thats a gt, it looks like the old owner swapped in v6 emblems, so you should go get a pair of gt side emblems

It is a gt, and the guy did put on different side emblems and back cap, though to be completely honest it was one of the things that sold me on the car, the horse and racing stripes stand out a lot more than the standard ol GT badge. Thanks a ton for the website for the spoiler, exactly what I was looking for. Under the color selection, the only black I found is Ebony black, I think that's what they call the standard black, though I'm not sure.

ummmm, is it a pony cap on the back? If it's a cobra, you may want to think about it.. IMO

My car had the 20's on it when I bought it too. Otherwise I would have 18" shelby razors. I agree with losing the spoiler, but if you have the money, why not look into the ducktail (I'm partial to that one ) or some other aftermarket one? And if the only piece you are gonna change on the exhaust is the axlebacks, then SLP's are hard to beat. I love mine.

CONGRATS on the Pony.. PLEASE loose that spoiler. I'm old so I think 17"/18" tires and rims look better

Congrats on the new GT. Looks is perfect shape.

I think the spoiler you have is the Steeda.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new car. The wheels are pretty nice but I would get a different spoiler.

I think you may be right about the steeda, but it still aint purty!

Alright, so it's settled, the wing is going. Thanks for the brand, looked it up and it definitely is the Steeda Street Wing with Carbon Fiber Winglets. Apparently the spoiler is about 300 dollars and the winglets are a 100 dollar set, so I think I could get at least 200. Sounds great to me, I can sell this and use what's left over for my SLP LM's.

You can get a GT 500 style spoiler, already painted to any OEM color, from the Spoiler Store on Ebay. That's what I have on mine. Price is very reasonable.

I think Ford Racing has CAIs and tune that come with a Ford warranty - you might need a dealer install, though, not sure, worth checking out if the warranty is that important. A tune should not void the entire warranty.
