A bit of a loaded question. No, I did not have to modify the spoiler itself at all, however as you can see I am not running the standard Falcon front bumper, it is a very chopped up 65 mustang bumper/valance. I had to drill a few extra holes and fab a couple of right angle brakets for the ends but all in all it was very easy to get it to fit. It is very solidly mounted.

I figured for $65 it was worth the risk and even if I screwed one up on the test fit, once I had it perfected I could buy another. Truthfully I am supprised how easily I was able to mount it up. It also fits the Falcon width perfect because (fun fact for the day) the Falcon front ends were wider than the 65 Mustangs and closer in width to the 70.

Thanks, sounds like I can make it work. Funny that you say my question was "loaded".......my friends always accuse me of posing loaded questions...lol.

Really cool car, a older "NASCAR type" decklid wing would probably look a bit more historical correct, also other steering Wheel.

But it is a really cool car anyway. It probably is fast too! I love classic race car look.

Going to cut the riser down and see how it looks mounted about 3 inches lower and little a little further back. I figured I have nothing to lose. If it still doesn't look right then it's getting $hit canned.

Maybe make the test mounts out of 1/4" plywood or? instead of modifying the original ones thus killing resale?

Do you know who makes that wing? The tuner crowd might pay good money for it. Those APR wings are all priced over $1,100.
