    I think it looks way too big on a Maverick. I like the one on my car. I did a thread about it.

    It does... And the previous one looked way too small to some people, (I didn't think so, but I did hate the way the corners fit) and then there's yours. It doesn't look bad, but it appears to be nearly horizontal with the ground. Joe Dirt has the same spoiler I do. His is also more parallel to the ground, probably because I don't think he fought it as much as I did. I just don't know if that's very functional. Although I could be wrong.

    There's the MAS spoiler which isn't around anymore, that looks about right I think. Then there's others I haven't seen on a Maverick, like earlier 65-68 Mustang. Might have to try one of those unless I find someone else already has...

    One can adjust the "pitch" on the spoiler....just depends on how you mount it.

    Are you talking about your Shelby spoiler specifically, or just in general? I've tried and failed to get the angle where I want it on the two I've been messing with, but if you've got some tips or methods I haven't heard I would love to learn them...
