Perhaps the BEST "How To" video on how to install this spoiler. Well thought out and detailed, not to mention, a great presentation. Clear and Concise.
Thank you very much, It really does mean a lot. We really appreciate the support!!!!
The stock spoiler might as well be a piece of duck tape. Its so small, its almost pointless. Its only real purpose is a place holder till you get a new spoiler.
Lol. It really seems that way.
am i able to put a spoiler on aftermarket if a buy one that has a spoiler delete from factory?
Yes. czcams.com/video/GOLbc1GLuWA/video.html
Only thing it was good for tbh was that I already had my holes made for my new spoiler 😂idk wtf ford was thinking with this "spoiler"
I've been watching alot of these videos for my upcoming spoiler install on my S550 as well and yours has been the best by far! The allen key idea is PURE GENIUS! Good work man!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the support.
I've been watching alot of videos on how to take off my stock flat spoiler and yours is the best by far. I'll be taking mine of this weekend and adding a PP1 paint matched spoiler to my 23' GT Premium. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for the support. I also recommend using 40lb fishing line to remove the old spoiler (step 9). Just something I wish I added to the video later.
Best video on a spoiler install. Straight to the point. I wish all videos were like this one is.
Thank you very much for your support. It really means a lot!!!
Dude…. I rarely ever come across an install video that is so well done, you sir are a saint and a scholar 😂
Thank you very much. That really does mean a lot!!!
Genius! Wish I would have found this video before I installed my spoiler.
I followed this tutorial and my install today worked out great! The eraser wheel is a must. I used a heat gun to get the stubborn adhesive loose towards the middle of the trunk when prying the initial spoiler off. Thank you very much for the extremely detailed and noob friendly guide!
I am very glad to hear the install went smooth, that's awesome!!! Thank you for the support.
Sorry for my English, I’m not originally from the US, but my goodness this it the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Lots of genius tricks and it was very easy to follow.
Thank you very much 😊
This was a very good video, great tips on making your own guide studs. You made it looks very easy to remove and install the spoiler. I'm watching because I plan to change my spoiler soon. So its good to get as much information and perspectives as possible.
Nice work 👍🏽
Thank you very much. Let me know if you have any questions.
Awesome video. Ordered mine for my new Mach 1. Will be installing this weekend.
Nice!!!! If you have any questions, let me know.
Just installed mine 10 minutes ago. Thanks for the tips 👍
ANYTIME!!!! I'm glad to hear the video helps. Thank you for the feedback.
Ok I generally don’t write comments but this Video was awesome…well done pumpkin eater LOL
Thank you for the support, I really do appreciate the kind comments. 😊
Subscribed 🙏 that Allen key trick as dowel pins was an amazing idea.
Lol....it made the job a lot easier. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!!!!
Hey man thanks for the. Ideo its my frist time installing a spolier and this video was great amd very well done!
No problem at all. I'm glad it helped. Did you get the same spoiler?
very detailed,thank you!
The straw trick 🔥
Hey awesome job! Really nicely done video on how to do this.
Thank you very much!!!
I learned something from your video, the eraser wheel, I didn't know that thing exist. nobody tells me about it. Just ordered 1 for easy removal of that sticky VHB tape. Thanks.
Thats awesome!!! Thank you for the support.
Looks awesome! 👍👍
Thank you!!!
I have a 2018 Camaro and recently installed a spoiler on it, really wished I came across this video (all of the installation videos were poorly made and not very helpful), would’ve saved me a few hours and scratches on my paint.
Before viewing your video I attempted to remove old "base spoiler" but screws were easy but not the adhesive tape. I gave up and decided to research. I will try again. Thanks for the eraser wheel idea. Why ford uses so much tape is beyond me. Auto body shops must really hate that tape.
Fishing line really helps for the removal process
Very good vid. I was able to recreate your job step by step . You either need to be a teacher or a dad my guy . This video gets a 5 star 🌟 rating . Very thorough you explain the why's and when's perfectly. You get a sub for this video oj
Thank you very very much for your support, it really does mean a lot!!!
Literally ordered the same SpeedForm spoiler, cant wait to install it 🫡 thx for the video!
Very Nice!!!
Well done
Thank you
Wow excellent video loved the tips about using. Milkshake straw and the all wrench as guide. After watching make wonder how many people lost screw that fell inside the metal frame of the truck ?
Thank you. Well, I've done it more than once.
Great video, best one I found and was really helpful on installing my new spoiler. But of course nothing ever goes smoothly according to plan.
**When taking current spoiler off, only STAB the tool in. Do NOT stab and pry upwards. I ended up having 30+ small dents on the rear of the trunk from every time I placed the tool and lifted up a little bit. I wasn’t even using much force at all.**
I'm very sorry to hear that. Were you able to pop the dents put?
@@mcgurrentertainment Nope, there were about like 30+ small ones I wasn’t even going to attempt it. Spoiler stuck on fine, got the two side screws in, and the middles ones for some reason won’t thread in. It’s been a huge PIA
Just glad I have a magnetic stick to get the screws back that have dropped to the bottom of the trunk multiple times now 😂
Damn. And yea, I've dropped the screws in the trunk a few times as well when I did the first Mustang. Had to remove the trunk and tip it over to get them out.
@@mcgurrentertainment Yep, the last screw in the middle will only go half way in. Might give up and just leave it as is lol.
Video understated should have love views and subs
Thank you very much. That really means a lot. I greatly appreciate the support.
Awesome video my man! This explains everything in depth that the American muscle video doesn't such as the fact that the double sided tape is stickier than a fresh turd. In AM's video they just popped it off like meh, no biggie.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I've tried my best to show all the steps. Thank you for the support.
@@mcgurrentertainment One question for you though, did the eraser disk you used to remove the double sided tape leave hologram swirls in the clear at all. In the video it sort of looks like it did unless those were just smudges that cleaned right off with a microfiber towel.
Good question. There were some smudges after using the wheel, however the alcohol should clean the rest off.
@@mcgurrentertainment Cool thanks! I helped my buddy put a wing on his mustang and that tape was no joke. We used acetone and elbow grease 😂
It's crazy how strong that tape is. The spoiler nuts were just overkill. 😅
I just removed the stock spoiler on my 2019 today and I can attest to how awful the adhesive removal is. If the rubber wheel works half as good as the video suggests, buy it even before you buy the new spoiler. It took me a solid 2 hours to remove the adhesive without it.
I've felt your pain. The first spoiler I did took forever to remove the tape without special tools. The eraser wheel was worth every penny just after the first use. Future tape removal jobs became simple tasks.
I wish you would show a S650 spoiler install. They changed the decklid- Made it harder
I would love that. Just need to find one.
@@mcgurrentertainment if you’re near Pennsylvania you can install mine lol. It would be a good video
Agreed. Sadly, that's quite a bit away. Good idea, though 😁
Wow...I'm at the dealership right now. And you are 100% correct. You have to remove the decklid to remove the spoiler. Doesn't look difficult, but definitely extra steps.
Just got mine delivered today. Glad it came with the screws smh. Now I gotta wait a week to get them
They had one job...
@@mcgurrentertainment unfortunately yes and failed 😞 so now my car sits with no spoiler and holes in it as it rains
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. Plan B: pick up some M6 screws at your local hardware store?
@@mcgurrentertainment good news is that they are sending me a while new one for free and get to.keep this for so.e reason lol
Oh wow
Can you tell me exactly what spoiler that is... i love it and the video was pure brilliance sir. I can definitely do that on my own without paying a body shop... and did that come in that gloss black just as we see you installing it ??
I think the one I linked in the description was a SpeedForm 350GT Spoiler ( www.americanmuscle.com/speedform-mustang-2019-gt350-style-rear-spoiler-black-408139-ua.html ). Yes, it was gloss black straight out the box, and it's still shinny to this day.
The straw is a great tip. Definitely don’t want to drop those bolts.
Thank you!!! This was a lesson learned when I installed the spoiler on the blue Mustang.
Heat gun helps out a lot
That's a good idea as well. Good suggestion!! 👍
Do all S550's without the spoiler delete option have the same hole placement? Also great video 👍 I've been teasing the idea of getting a spoiler similar to the one you installed here
That is a great question. I would imagine they would to simplify the manufacturing process, however I'm not 100% sure. Also, thank you for the support, it really means a lot!!!
Great video man I like how you explain everything make it look too easy thanks for the video brother.
Thank you very much. It really does mean a lot!!!
I think the FP spoiler I bought came with the guides pre installed on the spoiler.
Very nice
I've been watching a lot of spoiler install videos to install it on my new GT premium - Race Red. I will say this is the best video! SpeedForm 2019 GT350 Style Rear Spoiler; Black in AMERICAN MUSCLE is out of stock. Can you suggest a website to get the same exact one?
Thank you very much for the support, it really means a lot. I can't seem to find the spoiler anywhere else and I called AM. Sadly they said, it's going to be at least 12 weeks. It could change, but they were not sure. I'm sorry.
@@mcgurrentertainment Thanks for checking with them.
yo man I don’t know if you’ll see this but i love your video! i have the same color car but my default spoiler is hardly a lip… do you think that i will have to drill holes?
Thank you!!! A majority of Mustang spoilers on the market use the OEM holes. However, you may encounter a few that are a little off.
This looks very simple to do, my only issue is I have no car tools.... and I'm inexperienced with car tools. However this looks super easy to do. Do you know what store that carries these parts? I have a fiber cloth, straws, and alcohol. Thats all i have lol
Well, it depends where you are located. Several home improvement stores carry tool sets as well as most Auto Parts stores. Or you can order online. It all depends what you are looking for and your options near by.
Wouldn't braided fishing line be better to remove old spoiler than nylon body tools?
I couldn't see why not. Thats a good suggestion. 👍
What is the low profile stock spoiler that came on your mustang before you removed it i personally like the small spoilers better?
Its just the factory spoiler. I believe the part number is FR3Z-6344210-AA.
@@mcgurrentertainment thank you!
I have an issue… so I removed the 2 top nuts when I did this and they fell inside my trunk lid and I got replacements for the nuts but the problem is they rattle around when I drive is there any advice you could give me to get them out? I’ve even tried earth magnets
Sadly, this has happen to me on a different mustang. You will need a 10mm socket and remove the trunk (4 nuts). It would also be a good idea to disconnect the reverse camera so you can turn over the trunk without constraints.
@@mcgurrentertainment so after I get the trunk off I’m guessing just shake it out huh? And thank u man I didn’t know if there was any other way and ur response time is on par that’s awesome dude for at 4:30 am😂
hey man do you know the type of screws you used to put on the gt500 spoiler?
Good question. They are M6 x 16mm. Similar to: www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-6mm-1-x-16mm-Phillips-Drive-Machine-Screws-6-Count/999994852
But what if the old holes don't exactly line up with the new ones? HELP!!!
How far off? Millimeters or inches?
Great video but why not just install the line up pins or Allen keys before putting the bolts in the spoiler
The spoiler and trunk holes have a fair amount of play when lining everything up. It was easier to bolt down the spoiler in the ideal position to ensure it would be perfect; then tape down the Allen keys. Good question.
Holes line up for the FORD factory "performance" spoiler?
Good question. Yes, my Mustang (Blue GT with white stripes) has that spoiler.
Does this spoiler cover all the factory spoiler holes cause the website says that it doesn’t but it looks like it does?
The spoiler covers all the holes.
I just bought a carbon fiber spoiler that only comes with 3M tape but not pre drilled holes for the factory screws. You think some self tapping/ drilling screws would be a good way to better secure my spoiler to the trunk?
That's a great question. Adding mechanical fasteners would be ideal when attaching a spoiler. I've never tried self taping screws for carbon fiber. I would probably try to drill/install steel inserts to line up with the factory holes.
@@mcgurrentertainment should be something I can easily find at Home Depot
If not, Amazon (www.amazon.com/Z-Externally-Threaded-Stainless-Internal/dp/B002KLPW96/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=1R6IM1D4FGOD9&keywords=Self-Locking+Steel+Inserts+m6&qid=1679079882&sprefix=self-locking+steel+inserts+m6%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyUTBONkJGM0NGRUFaJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODI0OTI4MkdQUE9UMDlRSDJYSyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODg1MzY5MkMyU0VDMktZNFM3RyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl) or Ace Hardware
@@mcgurrentertainment my only concern is the carbon fiber being too thin to properly hold the threads. I’ll have to get a better feel for the spoiler when it comes in. Thanks for your help!
Anytime
If you’re clumsy and the nut falls inside the trunk how I’m the world do you get it out?
Great question, and this has happened to me on my first Mustang. Best way would be to unbolt the trunk (four 10mm nuts), flip, and shake them out.
I ordered one of these and it came without the screws, I’ve tried looking for their size but found nothing so I’m commenting this as a last resort lol, do you think you can specify which size screws fit this spoiler? Would majorly appreciate it
If I recall, I believe they are M6 x 16mm screws. Similar to: www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-6mm-1-x-16mm-Phillips-Drive-Machine-Screws-6-Count/999994852
@@mcgurrentertainment you’re a life saver!! Thank you so much :)
Anytime
How did you black out the rear GT badge?
That is part of the black accent package.
Do you have to worry about the extra holes that weren't used leaking water?
Not for this setup, the double-sided tape acts as a gasket. Good question.
@@mcgurrentertainment thank you!
Do you guys know of a lip spoiler for a 2021 GT convertible?
I'm sad to say, I'm having a hard finding one.
@@mcgurrentertainment same!
Is a heatgun or hair dryer helpful?
I've heard a heat gun is helpful. However, the top choice is fishing line.
I have a UK GT. I popped the black rubbers off and there are no bolts. Is it possible the blade is on with just tape?
That is odd. I've never seen that before. Is it an aftermarket spoiler (not the factory lip version)? I wonder if someone taped an aftermarket spoiler to a "spoiler-delete" trunk.
@@mcgurrentertainment same blade style you removed. I'll take the boot cover off to check middle bolts.
It could be that previous owners got a ford blade and taped it. It does however look very factory.
Gotcha. If you don't see middle bolts, it's very likely to be completely taped on. You can use fishing line and remove it.
@@mcgurrentertainment can I just say I think your videos are excellent. Very clear instructions. I've used your GT mod instructions for most if not all my upgrades.
That's awesome. Thank you very much
would this a fit a 2023 ?
Yes
Spray WD40 for double side tape before removing spoiler and after for residues, and googone its easier....
Never tried WD40, very nice.
Where did you order your new wing??
American Muscle (AM), link in the description.
@@mcgurrentertainment😅
how long are the screws?
They are M6 x 16mm. Similar to: www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-6mm-1-x-16mm-Phillips-Drive-Machine-Screws-6-Count/999994852
thank you so much @@mcgurrentertainment
Name spoiler ?
SpeedForm 2019 GT350 Style Rear Spoiler. Link is in the description if you want to see the price.
You could have used fishing line or dental floss to cut through the double sided tape.
You are correct
I can't even get the damn latch cover off 😂
Somethings it can fight you. I've done a few Mustangs; some come off very easy, others will fight. You'll get it. If I can do it, anyone can.
@@mcgurrentertainment I got, brother. 😂 I kid you not, that was the hardest part of the install, imo.
Lol. That's awesome. I would like to see the finish product.
Go gone would have helped too
Very good suggestion 👌
The smaller one looks better.
The factory one?
Yeah it does
Spoiler Alert!!! Sorry, I had to…
It's all good
I cringed. Fishing line plz.
I'm sorry James, I let you down. 😔
@@mcgurrentertainment All good man. Was just messing with ya. Nice walk through on the whole process. Saved a few people the headache of figuring it out I am sure. Guide pins ftw.
Thank you for the support
No wing looks better
That’s a nasty 🤢 wing
Thank you very much for the support. And you are right, it does look awesome. 😀
I said remove it completely. It will look better
The fact that they did not put studs into the spoiler for ease of installation makes this a DO NOT BUY product. There are other brand spoilers that have the studs and dont need this level of engineering to get the spoiler on straight. Totally DUMB BUMB.
Ok
My PP1 spoiler from American Muscle has the studs on them.
