Video Review & Installation

Hey I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, and I’m checking out the Mustang GT California special spoiler fitting all 2010 and newer Mustangs, available either unpainted or pre painted. This spoiler is identical to the pedestal style spoiler found on the 2011 California special, this is a special edition Mustang that originated back in the 60’s, then later resurfaced in 07 for a few years, and then later in 2011. These limited run cars came with some pretty trick styling one of which included this spoiler. As for the spoiler itself, you can see why it gets that pedestal name, as opposed to a GTR or GT500 spoiler which mounts flush to the trunk lid, the California special is raised like a pedestal, thanks to the 4 legs or risers that give it its own unique look. Build wise we are looking at a full ABS plastic construction, which is going to be equal parts lightweight and durable. As I mentioned earlier, there are a couple of different options when it comes to picking the spoiler up, there is an unpainted option which I have here, obviously you’ll need to have this thing prepped and painted before installing on your ride, or on the other hand, you can spring for a pre painted color matched option for a few bucks more, which we have install on our 2011 GT behind me. The color matched option is sprayed right here at AmericanMuscle headquarters, using the same base and clear coat Ford uses in their factories, so basically you can expect a perfect color match for your ride. While the cover does install using the 4 existing holes left by your factory spoiler, you will need to drill 4 additional holes to get the California special bolted up. If this isn’t something you feel comfortable doing, then your local body shop should be willing to help you out, however if you are going to tackle it, take your time, use the included alignment strip, and you should be able to knock everything out in about 2 hours. So if you’re a big fan of the California special appearance package, and you like the looks of a more pronounced pedestal spoiler, then this spoiler option would make a great choice for your ride.
