Mach 1 vs PP2 Rear Spoiler

[StigyAus]

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the PP2 rear spoiler and the standard blade style Mach 1 spoiler?
They appear to be quite similar in photos but it is hard to tell. I want a relatively subtle rear spoiler and these seem to fit the bill nicely.
I believe the PP2 part number is JR3Z-6344210-AA. Does anyone know the Mach 1 part number?
Thanks

I haven't even seen a Mach 1 yet, but I'll bet the rear spoiler on the base Mach 1 and the PP2 are the same.

I as thinking about changing my rear spoiler to either a PP1 or the spoiler from the Mach 1 HP, But after having my PP2 up to around 100 for and extended distance and not noticing any instability, I decided to leave things alone. Why spend more money to get the same results.

Just for your info. The PP1 rear spoiler by itself is a neutral spoiler

I would bet money they are the same, just different colors. I thought I saw somewhere on here the Mach 1 spoiler is magnetic, while the PP2 is black.

Thanks for the info guys.
Does anyone have a Mach 1 VIN, then we could check the part number. I guess that would be different from the PP2 number though, even if it is only a different color.
Has anyone out there owned a PP2 and a Mach 1, or know the spoilers well enough to really confirm they are the same except for the color?

There appears to be a slight difference between them, here's a couple pic of the two. The red is the PP2. I wasn't taking pics of the spoiler so it's not the best comparison angle on them. It looks like the Mach 1 dips a little in the middle compared to the PP2.

Thanks for the try Arknsawchuck, but your Mach 1 photo has a glitch right on the spoiler

Moving to the PP1 spoiler would be spending money to get reduced performance.

Your existing PP2 spoiler is functional and is designed to balance the force from the PP2 extended front splitter. The PP1 spoiler is an "appearance only" item, and is designed to provide no force (up or down) while driving.

That's why it has a dip in it….

Zooks, I thought I said that in my original post.
Now the spoiler off of the M1 HP is the same as the GT 350R and does provide more down force; it also obstructs part of your view through the rear window. I sat in a GT 350 to test the view out, and decided it wasn't worth the loss of view for a little more rear end down force. Especially since after driving my car at my typical high cruising speeds on lightly traveled interstates and noticing no lightness in the rear end like I had in my 13 GT, I saw no reason to change spoilers.

Damn fact checkers...lol

I dont know what happened but it even messed up my original picture.

Yeah, unlikely your original photo was corrupted and uploaded as is ;)
At least you tried though. I can’t believe no one on Mustang 6G has seen both wings up close and personal.

Well no one seems to know, which is a shame and more than a bit surprising. If you’re selling one and could ship it to Australia, let me know and then I can get an up close look at one as I fit it to my Mustang. Thanks.

Yeah, I've looked through my other photos and no clear shot of the spoiler. There wasn't enough of a difference that it caught my attention when I was looking at the car. Most of the focus was on the performance/appearance pack car anyway.

With the premium Ford charge for the Mach 1, I’m disappointed they couldn’t have found a nicer way to mess up your photo …
