You might want to check out the spoiler from 3d carbon .com . It has the Gurney flap, and no drilling . Easy installation and it looks great. I have had many compliments.

I'm not a fan of the 3D Carbon GT500 spoiler because of the painted on Gurney flap. I much prefer the OEM spoiler although it is more expensive. You just paid a big premium for a Boss over a 5.0 so why not get the real thing?

..I trust Ford's R&D which most surely includes some wind tunnel time..

It's a direct copy of the OEM piece so the aero is probably very similar. Rumor was Ford was going to offer different height flaps like they do on the FGT but I don't think they made them available. The 3D looks fine I just prefer the real thing.

Gee, I guess I wasn't thinking. ;D The Gurney flap is not painted on , it is a seperate inlay, and it is as close to the OEM as possible. I didn't say to buy one, I just said that one might want to check it out. I have many parts that are not OEM

I should put the wing off my old Evo IX ;D

daddyfixer,

got any pics of it installed?

 

[JScheier]

Finished FRPP/ARP stud swap. Got them from CJ Pony for about $185. They don't keep them in stock, but shipped 6 days after I ordered.

Another 'easy' way to accomplish the install is to take two large, hardened washers and apply a layer of grease between them. Slid those over the new stud. Put the lug nut on and hit it with the air gun. The grease will allow slippage and greatly reduces the risk of stretching or otherwise damaging the threads on the stud.

I would have taken pictures when I did mine, but it was too damn cold and I just wanted to get done

Is the regular 302 spoiler the same as the regular GTs? Saw a GT driving and it looked like it was the same.

yep

 

[CaliMR]

I don't know how to feel about that.

 

[VoodooBoss]

It should be pretty easy to see how I feel about it.

I don't know how to feel about that.

Well, the Boss is essentially a GT with a different motor and suspension....................

a base one to boot... ;D

That is as it should be ;D

I decided I don't care it is the regular wing, other than that you would think they would put one with more downforce given it is a "track" car. GT500 wing is growing on my though. I'm thinking 302S grill, then underside scoops, then maybe the wing if I have the monies left over for it. Eventually the LS suspension or something comparable aftermarket if I end up tracking it a lot.

Another winter mod completed. My wife's awning for track days so she can grill lunch for us in the shade. It was her Christmas present ;D

Oh and it was sunny and 47 today. Now I've officially driven the Boss year round as this makes 12 consecutive months that I've been able to drive it 8) Definitely a first in my lifetime being able to drive the Mustang in the winter. It's usually 5 months of hibernation.

Nice!
If I bring along homemade brauts for everyone, can I invite myself to the party?

I'm OK with not driving the Boss--don't want to get into the salt residue.

Great looking trailer, gotta like that awning, how long is the trailer? Do you have any trouble loading the Boss with the front splitter?
