    Just wasn't sure if it was supposed to stick up above the quarter panel like that , but after thinking about it I guess it makes sense , so it matches the deck lid

    Yeah quality was not one of Fords better ideas when it came to fitment, you would think it should be flush with quarter and maybe with some work it could be that way but mine looks just like yours

    If you grab another Grabber rear spoiler extension....the fit will be totally different. Sometimes it takes a few of them to find one that fits right....or at least "better".

    I was just trying to figure out what looked better, if it's level with the quarter panel it looks funny next to the spoiler , And if it's level with the spoiler it looks a little funny because it's not level with the quarter panel, so I think this is how I'm going to leave it , it should look good when it's all one color ( I think)

    that gives it the appearance the spoiler wraps around the end of the quarter panel...:thumbs2:
    if you look at this pic of when I was making that same decision you will notice that from behind there is a spoiler/end cap body line on the tailpanel. I chose to raise mine up as you did , that lines that line up, this pic is with it down.

    on the 71 Mav I had I molded in the spoiler and end caps, that gave the appearance of them all being one piece (no pics).
