Master rear spoiler thread -- Post yours here!

What is the general consensus on wicker bills? Personally, I really like the look and have been considering getting either the LiquiVinyl or ZL1 Add-Ons Wicker for the GT350 Track Pack.

I do not track the car. I know that is its primary use. I'm imagining that adding it to a daily as a cosmetic piece would not do much in terms of drag/aero on the highway doing 80. But maybe some of you have experience with it? Any stress on wing?

Is this the spoiler in the photo above? GT350 Track Pack

I have a Drake wicker bill in the garage that I have not installed yet, just test fitted it and was not a fan once it was on the car. I really like this one, just want to make sure I'm getting the correct one.

yes.it's a gt350 track pack replica....i've seen these in person,they tend to be poorly made and the fibreglass is wavy and bumpy with uneven paint...which is why i paid the extra bucks for the "ford performance part"!

My Ford Performance Rear Spoiler With Gurney Flap in Gloss Black (M-16600-FP) has arrived!

Now, before I remove the existing small spoiler and install the new one I need to decide: Do I have the new spoiler painted Shadow Black to match the car, or leave it gloss black?

Anyone with Shadow Black just stick with the gloss black spoiler and happy with it?

Just curious if you hold the spoiler (or the gurney flap) next to your car, is there a noticeable difference in the two different black colors?

it surely won't match the "shadow black"...but if you're doing black badges..they don't match either..paint matching would be a boss move,but i'd mount it in gloss black and never give it another thought,gonna look good either way!

"shadow black" has flakes in it...not the same as gloss.

I have not once noticed any flakes in my paint.

Yeah, the Gloss Black looks more darker than the Shadow Black. Not really sure yet if that is a bad thing… I may remove the old spoiler, clean the deck lid, then temporarily install the new spoiler (not applying the double sided tape yet) and stare at it in the garage and the driveway till I make up my mind.

If you have shadow black, go out at night and look closely at your paint with a bright flashlight. Youll be surprised how many blue flakes you see....

Left it gloss black! Can’t even tell a difference between the colors once I installed it.

American muscle is doing a deal on their GT350 style trackpack wings already color matched to shadow black for only $100, so I picked that up along with ZL1 Addons' trackpack wicker bill that's also on sale. Can't wait to get them on the car

Finally almost done, just need to decide to paint the uprights or leave them bare. I’ll probably do something to the brackets bases at least so they aren’t bare Al.

This is (likely) the first Zebulon wing on an S550. It needed some custom fabrication for mounting and Zebulon cut uprights to decklid profiles I sent him.

More pics this weekend…
