gt500 spoilers...come on in!

[91frppgt]

hey guys, i'm looking at getting a gt500 spoiler off ebay that already comes painted...

my question to you is, does it use the factory holes?

 

[DarkFireGT]

It uses two of the factory holes. You can also drill 2 holes on the ends, but most of us haven't. The 2 factory holes and the 3M tape is more than enough. It does, however, cover the 2 remaining holes. Though, you'll want to use some silicone or something to keep it sealed.

thanks for the info!

This may be a pretty stupid question, and maybe it will all make sense when I receive my GT500 spoiler on Friday, but do you just squirt some silicone around these remaining holes?

Thanks,
Tom

Mine came with vinyl stickers to cover those other holes. I used some touch up paint to cover the bare metal in the holes before mounting mine.

I honestly just covered mine with electrical tape top and bottom. Do what you're comfortable with. Just seal it somehow.

I put silicone over the unused holes.

i put silicone over the unused holes and also drilled the two extra holes. The spoiler is real sturdy and looks great!

I put a Shelby spoiler on my '08 V6 and it fit perfectly. The shop that installed it said it was quite simple and it holds like a dream. But then again, my Mustang came without any spoiler so the holes were drilled.

I bought and installed the OEM spoiler before everyone had them a/m and prepainted, it uses all four factory holes, but with the 3m tape they have on the spoiler it would have held without any screws, so I'm sure 2 screws are plenty.

Thanks everyone for your replies! I got mine on this weekend, and it looks great!
I was really worried about getting it on there crooked tho, so came up with a plan that really helped me:
When putting the 3M tape onto the spoiler, I used an additional 5 inches or so, on each side. I then removed the sticky part of the extra tape but left the red plastic that covered the tape. I could then put the spoiler onto the car, without having to worry that it would stick. I got it where I wanted, gently attached the screws, and then used the red plastic that had covered the extra tape, to just pull it off the rest of the tape.

Hope that made somewhat sense... ESL

Good job
Glad you like it. It definitely adds alot of look.

 

[Tupperware]

Agreed. I like mine, too.

I drilled the extra holes. I figured it wouldnt hurt having the extra support.

I got my GT500 replica spoiler from Atlanta Mustang. It also only uses 2 rear bolts, the fronts aren't used so I just used some silicone sealant to seal them off. The tape along with the bolts is more than enough.

The GT500 spoiler is by far my favorite spoiler for the S197. I plan to get on for my GT this spring.

If I could redo it - I would go with the duck fin. But I am still really happy with the GT500

 

[MUSTANGLOVER73]

i have an oem gt500 spoiler and it appears to use the factory drilled holes. im having it installed and painted as we speak(at the paint shop)

I went with a Roush. That was a PITA. Had to drill quarter panel holes. Got it right the first time. Amen.
