Trunk Swap and 2018 PP1 Spoiler Install

[KevinG]

Had someone on a Mustang FB group ask if I was interested in swapping trunk panels with. His trunk had the factory blade wing and he was looking for a blank trunk so he could get the Roush rear spoiler. So after a few texts and picture exchanges that our trunks were in excellent shape, we made the agreement. Figured his trunk was already predrilled perfectly from the factory with the intricate holes and slots that Ford utilizes. The trunk swap itself took 90 minutes taking our time. However the blade spoiler removal and adhesive strip removal took the longest.

This particular 2018 PP1 spoiler is kinda famous - its the one that Bill from CJ Pony Parts removed from his own Mustang in order to put the GT350 wing on on his Youtube video. After some convo, we agreed to a price and I picked it up in PA at a dog rescue fundraiser. the 2018 spoiler holes and slots is an exact fit for 2015-2017 trunk lids with factory spoilers FYI. I am very happy with the results and this 2018 spoiler is the best design from Ford in my opinion for the S550.

Just saw this post. Looks awesome. I have been trying to find a black one of these forever with no luck. Hopefully they will start becoming more common and cheaper like the R wings did.

You can find them, but I ain't paying $1K for a new one...LOL

I am looking for the PP1 spoiler as well, preferably in black, but anything will do. Let me know if anyone is willing to sell one.

How did you remove the factory adhesive? I'm going to be doing this when wing turns up.

heat gun, plastic scraper (used gently) and then goo-gone once all the foam was removed (will ruin the rag once you're done).

Is the adhesive double-stick? That be would a pain. It would require strong fishing line to cut the gasket. Any prying to distort the thin aluminum trunk.

Man, I took that stuff just off the bottom of the wing and it was a giant pita. That stuff is a real bastard.

I have a 2017 Mustang GT with the pancake spoiler, but want the 2018 wing. Are the holes in the same location between those years.

Looks awesome. PP1 spoiler is really sharp.

The trunk is steel. But it's not an issue removing the spoiler if you use a heat gun and some fishing line.

I have a black one I took off my black 18 GT PP1. Just saying. Have it still in storage. Factory paint still on it. Car was purchased in June 18.
