First off I want to give props to our Member KAILUAZ for being the first to try this mod on his Crown Vic.
Secondly, I would like to Thank Wes at Innovative Interceptors for sending this spoiler right out to me. Great price and always great service.



EDIT, UPDATED PICS

Man I gotta see this in person.




Sorry for the lousy pics, Its starting to get dark out and my camera blurs a little bit.

Yeah...blame the camera.:nono:
Low light = slower shutter speed.

I went to my local autobody shop and picked up 1/8 screws with washers and simply screwed the spoiler into the bumper.
Getting it lined up was the hard part, the screws zipped in very easily and its very solid.

Ill bring my camera to work tomorrow and take some upclose pics.

I thought it looked good on the Crown Vic but it looks great on the Marauder.

I always get lost in Jersey, but feel free to head to NY if you want to install it.
Wes at innovative interceptors carries this spoiler for $100 and free shipping.

gotta see some more pics. price is right. do you know if they do side and rear skirts as well? It looks awesome but makes the front of the car out of proportion to the rest of it.

Right on, that looks great, I think it looks like a factory option and makes a nice subtle touch. Unreal how it lines right up and is the same length as the Mustang.
Looks nice on the Rauder front end for sure!

I have the factory bra for my car, the lower part of the bra has straps that go through the rectangles in the lower portion. Do you think the bra could still be installed and removed with the spoiler in place? That thing has absolutely saved the paint on the front of the car on highway trips, so it comes on and off alot. That and in a couple of years, don't want gravity taking over the headlights. :D

Thanks for the compliments!
As for the bra question, If you are clipping the straps on the inside of the vents then its no issue, if you have to go under the actual cover then you may have to try to find a alternate method of strapping the bra. Otherwise it will be in the way and you will deform it but putting the straps over it.

Side Note...
So Far I have been through a car wash, speeds over 100MPH and accidently sc***** a parking bumper in a parking lot and its still flawless and hasn't moved.
My only concern is if this spoiler will fold back at higher speeds. Ill have to get a friend in front of me and see what its doing.
Other then that, the 1/8 screws have been holding it snug.

So right now $100 gets you the piece, not the screws? C'mon. The hardware should come with the piece once it is a "true" mod for the Marauder. All the hardware came with my pro-guard I just received, as well as instructions. I like the way it looks. Am very interested.

You could just use a few nuts and bolts with washers if your afraid of it ripping off. If you hit a more curbs in the future, you might end up ripping the screws out.

I think that unpainted black plastic will match up pretty good to that black rocker panel on the silver birch.

Stang guys paint them all the time, just add a lot of flex.

That front end looks familiar!

You think we can get a "group buy price discount" on this item if asked ?:dunno: Either way, it's a very nice addition to the front look of the Marauder.:2thumbs:

well you sold me on this mod. I went to the local ford dealer that I used to work at 8 years ago and they hooked me up. told me two days and I will have it for a total of $82.61 So I couldnt pass it up. Thanks again for sharing

Well I got my chin spoiler today. Put it on. Looks awsome. Was very easy to install. Just for your info the ford part# is 3R3Z-17626-AAA That is the correct part number for the mach 1 chin spoiler. I used 1/2" stainless phillips head screws with washer style heads. Easiest way to do it is to mask the center of the bumber cover and make a line dead center from front to back. The spoiler already has a hole in the center. SO then position it toward the front and then screw it into the the cover. Hence the line for dead center. Then tape the rears up. You will have to drill a couple holes for bolt head clearence. You will see what I am talking about. Besure to check and double check each side. work your way from the middle on each side back and forth to get it all the same. SO there will be no binding to throw the curve of the chin spoiler off. Its really very easy. Hope this helps.

I know its not a very good pic but I said I would get a pic so here it is. ANd for those who are planning on doing this mod. Make sure to mount the center first and work your way around (from side to side) back and forth. And when I mounted mine I marked a line dead center on the bumber cover and where my chin spoiler mounted was exactly 3 1/8" from the back edge of the underneath of the bumper cover in the center. Hope this helps some of you planning on doin this mod. It looks alot lower in the front now. I have eibachs on my car and now I cant get my head under the front. If you need more pics let me know. Ok I tried to load the pic but its to large?? Owell.

I just had a customer with this spoiler on his GT ask me to take it off, and he said I can have it. Going to see how it looks on MadMax. :D

In response to sweetair and gonzo50...

I had to raise the price to $110 on my website. Due to the large size of the box, UPS and Fedex count it as 'oversized'. I can check with my distributor to see if I can get a break if I buy more of these things, I can do a group buy at 100, so if there's interest, I can do it, 10-20 people will make that happen.

As far as clips and screws go, this is a piece for a Mustang, not a Crown Vic or a Marauder, although we are installing them on our panthers.


So right now $100 gets you the piece, not the screws? C'mon. The hardware should come with the piece once it is a "true" mod for the Marauder. All the hardware came with my pro-guard I just received, as well as instructions. I like the way it looks. Am very interested.

How much do you actually think I make on this piece once I throw in free shipping and the cost of my fuel to go to my distriubtor and get these pieces Bill? You can go to the dealer and pay MORE for this piece, plus tax, and probably have to wait for it. Or, you can get this from me for less, no shipping, and sent to your front door. Let me make three dollars. Is it worth 3 bucks for me to get something, package it, and ship it out to anyone? Probably not. But I do it because when I started my business almost five years ago, I committed to supporting those people with similar interests as me. Panther cars. Five years later, I'm still standing. Some parts I don't make money on, but I keep carrying them in hopes that with my customer service, you will return to me for your car's needs. Repeat business is what makes companies grow.

Just my two cents. I'll step off my soap box now.



In any case,

Then you will constantly battle chipped paint. The rockers take a beating with the way our front tires sit in the wells. Chin spoiler will get ate up with bugs, sand and rocks from the road.

Although it would look real nice.....

I know what you mean about the size of the box. it is total overkill. I picked mine up from the local ford dealer and was like what the hell is this. The box is HUGE!

They can be shipped rolled up with no problem, just let it sit over night and it will straighten right out.

Just added the Mach1 chin spoiler to my black '04 MM. Looks good! I use plastic push rivets to mount it. I used Dorman #45680, 15 black push rivets (about $5.00 at your FLAPS), had to drill 1/4 inch holes but it it's nice and tight. By using the rivets if I hit anything the rivets will shear off and there will be less damage to the bumper.
