I am sure you all have addressed this somewhere before, but my search engine is broken <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600">:) </v:shapetype> . I see MM's with a wing type of spoiler in various pictures... On a side note I would really love to get my hands on the LED packing beauty Zack built.. That puppy is awesome! Oh yea I got side tracked.... What I want to know is... Many of the MM's I see pictured on the site have the wing type of trunk spoiler... I have the lip type (I see some of these also in various pictures)... What is the deal with the differing spoilers? Options years, what? Help a newbie out guys??? :confused:

The lip spoiler I believe is the OEM one and the top deck spoiler is an aftermarket add on. Both are really cool but I opted for the OEM.

Both serve no purpose other than to make the car more "sport". I put on the Ford spoiler just for that purpose....to differenciate my car from the "old man's" Mercury.

Read THIS (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7763&highlight=AVALON) thread for all the info.
The links to the pics are dead, but I know what you speak of.;)

Quoted from a VERY OLD THREAD:

I have had more requests for info than I can get to while my company runs me around the U.S.

I replied to many members already, and for posterity, who will search and find this thread, I will post my reply. Hopefully this helps. Rock-on!!

The spoiler I have is a ‘California Dream Wing’ model ‘1240-3L AVALON’ and I recommend obtaining it through the great folks at ‘Cover Up Inc.’ in Tonganoxie, Kansas. Craig Jackson, the owner and his daughter in law Ariel will be more than willing to help you out. The spoiler will come pre painted to match your MM color. BTW: They do all the spoiler installs for the Lincoln-Mercury dealerships in the area. 913-369-0077

I paid $256.87 for the spoiler, painted, and delivered to my door in mint condition. I spoke with Ariel, and she is aware I passed their name on to my friends at the MM.NET.

Good luck and Happy Motoring….tell ‘em Cruztaker sent you!

Mike,
Gotta ask, are you using the black in the color grid to post with? Reason I'm asking is that if you are it blacks out your posts for those of us that use the "black" forum screen instead of the default gray or the blue.

Great info I appreciate it... I gotta say personally I have the factory lip unit but I would opt for the aftermarket wing unit I I were choosing... Perhaps I will at some point.

STLR FAN I am using whatever the default color for the fonts is... Black I would guess... Should I change.. If so what is a better option???

Hmmmm don't know Mike. I'm using the standard color(which is black) on the "black" screen. When I'm typing it's black in a white "posting" box. But when I hit submit, it comes out "creamish". Don't know. It's just your first post is all black like nothings there. Now your last post shows up OK.

anywhere you can purchase the stock lip wing from, other than ford which probably wants like 5 beans for it?

How much for the one you removed?

I will sell it for the Dealer Price less $100.00 plus freight. Dennis. I will confirm the $309 I believe the Dealer charged me for the Primed one I had him send to Zack for the magic work. Some of that price included freight to Zack I am sure. So, I suspect less than $200 for mine plus freight. :)

I've got the bigger spoiler also. I purchased my Marauder used and it was already added. It gets a positive response, but I admit that I like the factory "lip".
