Performance pack spoiler

I believe all S550 spoilers use the same bolt holes except the GT350R

It looks like you're correct, but you can add the GT/CS spoiler to the list as it has different mounting holes as well.

Spent a couple hours today removing the old tape from the spoiler and installing new tape. What a bitch. Now I just need some time to remove the tiny blade and do the install. Maybe tomorrow or Friday

I know it’s a little late now. Few suggestions.

When removing the tape a heat gun is best. Doesn’t take long.

For removing the blade spoiler. Take out the bolts and then get some 20lb fishing line. Use a plastic pry tool if you need leverage. Wrap it in something so you don’t scratch. Then take the fishing wire and gently work back in for so the tape releases. Then you should be able to get it off. You will need to re-position the wire as you go to get around the bolts.

Good luck!

When using a pry tool be careful how much force you use as you don't want to end up with some small dents the new spoiler won't cover. Heat is your friend and the fishing line works really well.

I just ordered a new factory takeoff PP1 spoiler off ebay for $300 shipped. It has a couple of imperfections, but I don't care as I need to get it repainted anyways and I can add my own double sided tape. There's quite a few PP1 spoilers for sale on ebay. Looks like dealers are taking them off if they have any marks on them for some reason.

Do any of these "spollers" (cue Darrell Waltrip) actually produce any downforce or are they just decorations? Downforce I could use, decorations, not so much.

Installed the spoiler today. Removing the lip spoiler, cleaning off the glue, buffing the deck lid, and putting the new spoiler on, 1 hour 15 minutes. Not bad and it looks great. My car is Oxford White with the black appearance package. So I put a black spoiler on. Goes great together. Once I wash the car this weekend I will post some pics.

One of my favorite moves was to change the pedestal spoiler/wing on a white GT/CS to black. And then to a "low" GT500KR wing. I find just one picture of the low wing, which Shelby folks said was the best compromise between drag and down-force. Wing was also part of the '07 "Pony" package.

Here's one with both my GT/CSs wearing GT500KR rear wing/spoilers:

Great looking cars Frank. Oh, do I like that black spoiler on the white car. Now you’ve got me thinkin’

I must have made a mistake somewhere. I'm wondering about disasseof the PP1 wing. Specifically removing the mounting pieces for paint. Like do these two flaps just pop off with a bit of pressure?

Yup, you accidentally PM’ed me. No problem.

Are you painting it yourself? If not, let the body shop worry about it. They might not even have to take it apart if they can get the spray down inside the groove.

 

[Daryl333]

No not gonna paint this wing myself.
Yea I'm probably overthinking this. Too much time on my hands.
Lol
