Last year, when I was planning on getting this CDC Classic, I couldn't find any install photos, especially on how it gets attached to the front lip. So for anyone curious on how this spoiler get's attached to the front, here's a short 'How-To' on how it goes on.
This install is relatively simple, only a short Phillips screwdriver is needed.
Stock reference pic.
Here’s the spoiler all painted and ready to install.
Wipe down the contact area with some isopropyl alcohol. This is where the double side tape that’s on the spoiler will contact the lower fascia lip. Note: My 3M bonding tape came already attached to the spoiler (ready to install).
Remove the 2 Phillips head screws from the wheel well liner to front fascia. * Pic is for reference location of screws only. * I turned the wheel al the way to one side to make access easier.
Position the CDC spoiler on one side (I did the Drivers side) and use the factory screws to fasten the spoiler as shown. * Passenger side shown for reference.
Carefully position the front part of the spoiler into position and peel back the 3M backing several inches from the passenger side (or opposite end to side you fastened).
The center section of the CDC spoiler will clip over the center fascia lip. Don’t press down the exposed section of the 3M tape yet (on the spoiler).
Once the passenger side of the spoiler is ‘pulled’ over into position, install the 2 Phillips screws.
Now, slowly start to peel away the remainder of the 3M backing.
The center section can now be pressed down to mate with the fascia lip.
Lastly, press in the 2 push-pin fasteners up into the spoiler.
Warning! After installation of this spoiler, your front end will be lower. Forget about what you heard or read about the front ground clearance not changing, it will be lower by 2 1/2 inches.
Install complete!

You rule TacoBill!!! I'm about to do this mod this weekend and it's always good to have some good pictures to go by when starting a small project like this. Thanks for the info!
Very nice and great pics. Unless you are a bit crazy, CDC Classic is the way to go over CDC Agressive. ...gotta go, meeting with my shrink in a few mins.
That'll vary quite a bit. My painter only charged me something like $130 if I remember correctly. And, after buying this spoiler off my friend for $50 (he painted it himself and didn't like it), I got a great deal all around!

yes, Tacobill should open a Mustang shop for all of us who don't own garages, tools, etc. Or, even worse, people like me who just drive 'em not fix 'em! I'd be your first customer! although I might make you take off that big watch before working on mine! I hope you haven't scratched the paint with it. I made that mistake wearing my new Rolex when washing my car. Now my watch goes into my pocket.

Fear not! I no longer wear wristwatches, I just use the clock on my cell phone.
I'm even cautious of getting too close to the car while wearing my Mustang belt buckle!

Entry and exit on steep driveways can be a problem with CDC Classic or Agressive, even if not lowered. Neither one causes you to give up that much clearance but the fact that it juts out forward over 2" creates problems. Usually you can negotiate your way into most of these challenging driveways. Speeds bumps have not been a problem for me with Agressive and not lowered. With the Classic, damage is less likely and a bit of scraping on the underside is nothing to worry about. You do have to watch curbs though.
