Any Convertibles With PP Spoiler?

Given one gets $0 credit for the deleted spoiler, how much does a painted one cost?

Thanks. I'll have more pix up this weekend. I ordered the PP spoiler through the dealership and they did the install. Dealership still has some prep to finish up today (including a wash) and I'm picking up tomorrow.
Next on the list is a full front PPF (Xpel) and a 5+ year ceramic to help keep it shiny.
My todo list this weekend includes, Catch Can, Side Markers and a Stubby antenna

$750 painted and installed which was $250+ cheaper than all of my local dealerships.

From Ford? I think around $2k suggested retail and ~$1,400 at discount dealers. So depending on what they go for used, it can make financial sense to NOT delete it when ordering a PP coupe if you don't mind the hassle of finding someone with any same color S550 and no spoiler to swap trunk lids and pay you $x. Of course for convertibles that's not an option.

But when ordering a PP coupe and wanting another spoiler that uses or covers the PP spoiler holes, it would be crazy to order with spoiler delete.

I meant on a PP convertible (the topic of this thread?). And I was being a bit sarcastic too, in that Ford doesn't give PP convertible buyers any credit for the forced delete of the PP spoiler, but will happily charge us thousands if we still want one.

Brand new freshly painted and install for $750.

That link isn't for painted. So the $750 could be more or less depending who paints and installs. But its about time they offered them someplace but the parts department. Until recently that was the only source and still over a grand unpainted from the discount dealers:

But Ford does a great job filling the holes in the trunk lid when one buys the spoiler delete option.

From what I've been seeing, it appears the issue is with the vert radio antenna clearance when opening and closing the trunk. However, a Stubby should fix the issue.

Much thanks for the clarification!!

I had read that the reason the GT convertibles can't have the PP spoiler, was due to the antenna. I was (wrongly) assuming it was the satellite antenna, being it moved from the roof on the coupes, to the truck lid on the convertibles, and being on the truck lid, the interference was between the satellite antenna and the PP spoiler's center pedestal. Glad that is not true.

The Stubby gives me plenty of clearance. Haven't noticed much difference in quality, though TBH it's been Sirus or MP3 thumb drive.

Is the mounting area on a convertible trunk a much different angle than a coupe? Those pics look like the spoiler is lower at the back than the front.

 

[Buzz]

They all look about the same to me. May be the angle of the camera?

What I comes to my attention, is the apparent difference in the gap/space between the leading edge of the downward side flap of the spoiler, and the fender directly below it, as shown in these two pics. It appears to be much larger in the convertible than on the coupe.
