[size=2]Oh boy am I in trouble ! WAY too many choices. You're talking to a girl who tried out 15 shades of burgundy before painting my '65 ! I went to the bodyshop today for an estimate on stripes and a spoiler install. These guys do top notch work but i am still in "estimate shock" I also thought a ducktail was a ducktail.
He told me do do some research, but that Urethane was better than fiberglass to work with. They are going to help with color choice as they can custom mix paint but now I see that even the spoiler research will take a bit ! That last spoiler is it an entire decklid ?
This is a great thread and I will probably be here all night reading through ...looks like I'm in good hands with you guys Thanks for the extensive groundwork !
Just curious, how many of you with the CDC ducktail ordered it painted. I was wondering about the quality of the paint job. The price seems good, extra $100 for prep/paint/etc. I have a 06 Tungsten GT. May be hard to match that color, not sure. Thanks.
Someone in the past said you could buy some kind of push pin(plastic) at the auto part store that could fill the spoiler holes untill you painted the trunk or covered it with a spoiler??
Can you please post some pics of the C-wing? I am trying to decide between Street scene, 3d carbon, and C-wing. Thanks
If you're talking about the Cervini ducktail, check out the first and second page of this thread......there are at least 5 pics of it from different angles that I posted.
To my knowledge.....the Roush, both Steeda's, GEFRacing, Xenon, Cervini, StreetScene Gen2, and BBR spoilers all use or cover the stock holes. I'm not 100% sure about the others at this time. I believe all the 3DCarbon wings cover or use the stock holes also.

Finally I got my 3dCarbon tail in today! It almost took a month to get it in. I ordered it pre-painted and it looks great! No fish eyes or trash in the paint and with my car being white the paint is dead on! I will post some pics of the before and after shots. If anyone wants some shots of the spoiler off the car or anything special let me know something before this weekend. If anyone has installed one of these ducktail on there car and has some special insight, I’m all ears! Now, I'm already looking at stripe kits and I do have my ducktail on my car. I'm going to go "old school" a top and side blue stripe kit for Ford Racing. See pic below! I'll need to get my mirrors painted white quickly before the wife starts asking questions about the cost of my new toys and then she will want something new herself!
One more thing to add to this thread. I spotted an Ebay auction selling the Xenon for $205 + $20 shipping. I called a local guy, Bret Carson, who owns a company called Dealership Designs to see if he could match the price, since he carries this spoiler design. This particular design, marketed by Xenon, is manufactured using a urathane mold.
Urathane is a good material for bumpers but spoilers made from urathane are inferior to fiberglass because they tend to not hold their shape as well, and require more prepping due to pinholes in the injection process. It is apparently cheaper to manufacture with urathane than fiberglass, which probably explains the big price difference. Bret quoted me $400 for a fiberglass one, painted and installed.
Without the whole bottom rear kit added. I wonder how symmetrical it looks on just the stock ass end body? I'm thinking that spoiler might work for this "holes in the decklider"!
