    thanx; I had originally bought for a Mustang II that I owned; but the guy I sold it to didn't want it so I put it on the Comet just to see how it looked and thought it looked great so I kept it on there.

    Keep in mind that the Mustang had 2 versions.
    The 69-70 was wider at the spoiler, but the mount brackets were closer together.
    The 71-73 had the narrower spoiler wing, and the brackets were further apart. Closer to the outside of the car...
    The 69-70 also had taller brackets, so the spoiler sits higher off the trunk lid.

    Just a heads up because the look is totally different from one to the other version when you try them on the same body style.
    When you mount them to the trunk, you also need to know that they originally used stiffeners on the inside of the trunk lid for strength.

    Fwiw: Torinos/Fairlanes never came with a wing spoiler... unless you got it off the King Cobra. ;)
    Eliminators and Cyclones most likely used the 70 Stang version because they sit up very high.
    69 Stangs, even Bosses, never came with wing spoilers.
    The MCA made an exception years ago to allow them on 69 Stangs as 'original' because they could be had over the parts counter in 69. Effectively making them a 'dealer installed option'. But true factory, NO.
    Doesn't make sense to me. You could get frickin deer whistles over the counter from some dealers. Does that mean they should be considered stock?

    You gotta make the part stiff because of the multiple penetrations involved in the process.

    You could weaken the lid structure... :162:
