I am trying to attach a photo of my solution.
It involved a custom trunk bottom panel with some brackets to trap stuff to.
The compressor is strapped in behind the tool bag.

Those of us with the upgraded brakes got a compressor since our spare doesn't fit over the calipers.
Hey Dot --
Did you mean upgraded wheel package(w/ 20x10s in the rear)? I didn't think Saleen had an upgrade for the rear brakes.

I don't have the upgraded,widerrear wheels (yet), so I don't have the compressor. But now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I'll ditch my spare and just get a can of fix-o-flat like I have for my '67...

The Dotster has 6 piston calipers in front, and original Mustang brakes were 2 piston (I think). So the stock spare from Fordwould not fit over the front calipers.

Jazzer is correct. El b... you sure you don't already have the upgraded brakes? It was my understanding these became standard for 2006 and were an option in 2005. If you don't have the brakes I urge you to get them. I can't imagine having a supercharged car with the stock ford brakes []

edit: It could be they just forgot your compressor.

Ahhh, I understand now.

I do have the upgraded front brakes. I do not have the compressor. Oh well, I guess I'll just pick up that can of fix-o-flat...

Looks good! On the stock Saleen or Mustang, there is no "bottom" to the area under your trunk bag; it's just that really thin "carpeting" material. I gather you have something that extends from over the spare tire to the left side of the trunk?

dramsey,

I got rid of the stock truck carpeting built a custom bottom panel. This allows access to the spare tire without having to empty the contents of the truck sides.

Some more descriptive photos:
