As you can all see from the picture in my sig, I own a black Crown Vic LX Sport. I have always felt that the CV Sport needed something more than just a center console and 5 spoke wheels to set it apart from the base and LX model Vics. It almost seems that the "Sport" (by its very name) cries out for a small rear deck spoiler like the optional MM one.
Now, I am not interested in attempting to make my car "look like a Marauder". I wouldn't even consider adding a rear deck spoiler to a regular Crown Vic... but I think it would look pretty sharp on the black Sport model with the 5-spoke wheels. It's just a small addition that would make a nice, subtle "statement" IMHO.
I know I'm not the only person who has considered purchasing the optional "dealer installed" Marauder rear deck spoiler for installation on a Crown Vic. I also know I could go to the local L/M dealer and have them order and install one on my car FOR me. Trouble is, I'm pretty fanatic about the way my car is treated. I know you guys feel the same about your cars. I positively HATE letting anyone work on it. I don't relish the idea of letting some so-called "service technician" who really doesn't give a rip about my car, start boring holes into my trunk and doing a half-arsed installation job.
I recall several months ago there was quite a bit of discussion on these boards regarding purchasing the factory spoiler and "doing it yourself". I've used the search feature to try to find those posts but can't find the particular ones I want. I'm not 100% sure that I WILL add a spoiler, but I'm leaning strongly in that direction.
If someone could supply me with the info or point me in the right direction, what I'd like to know is:
1) Where is the best place (price-wise) to order the factory spoiler (painted black, not just primed)?
2) What is the part number?
3) Where is the link to the installation instructions and tips that were posted on mercurymarauder.net a few months back?
Thank you in advance to any responders. -Cooper
