Justin: The carbon fiber V-Series spoiler from MMD for the '15 and newer Mustang is a radical take
on one of the most popular spoilers here on the site, thanks to that beautiful full carbon fiber
construction. Now the V-Series will offer the aggressive rake along with the vacuum and fuse
carbon fiber finish, which is then buffed to a brilliant shine, all for the mid $500 price point.
Install is gonna go down one of two different ways. If you have a factory spoiler installed,
then chances are you will not need to drill. On the other hand, if you do not currently have a
spoiler installed on your deck lid, then there will be some drilling involved. So either way,
site is just gonna go middle of the road, two out of three wrenches on the old difficulty meter
and maybe a couple of hours to complete from start to finish. But
hang with me for a bit, guys, and we'll walk you through that job later in the video.
So the V-Series spoiler has easily been one of the most popular options on the site for the 2015 and
newer cars ever since it debuted on the 2015 MMD Mustang at the SEMA Show a few years back. Now,
both the unpainted and pre-painted options continue to be best-sellers here on the site.
And because of that, it was a no-brainer for our best-of video for the spoiler category,
again, for all S550s. Check that out if you haven't already done so. But now we have a new
and improved version, thanks to the show-stopping carbon fiber build, which I think takes the
already aggressive V-Series spoiler to the next level. So let's take a closer look.
Now the original V-Series shape is obviously still there, right? You get that aggressive
rake or angle here, and again, the cutout right in the middle, as you can see,
which I always thought vibe really well at the design cues around the license plate area. Now,
looks aside, that notch actually does serve some functionality benefits as well as it really does
help improve visibility out of your rearview mirror. But make no mistake about it here, gang,
the big story with this particular V-Series spoiler is no doubt that real carbon fiber
construction. Now the carbon has been vacuum formed and infused with a strong resin before
being finished off in a beautiful clear coat that really has been buffed to a nice brilliant shine.
It's definitely a killer look and one that certainly does add to the price
as the carbon fiber option is roughly double the price of the pre-painted option, of course,
which you can find here at americanmuscle.com if you're interested instead of the carbon fiber.
But this is one of those times where I'm really going to encourage you guys to go check out the
customer submitted images along with the corresponding reviews of the carbon fiber
V-Series spoiler because we're talking well over 105-star reviews and a ton of customer images,
which is definitely gonna give you guys a better idea or indication of how the carbon option might
look on your own S550 at home. But now comes a point in the video where we wanna walk you through
what it takes to get this spoiler installed on your S550 in the driveway. So without further ado,
guys, grab your toolbox and join us for our detailed walkthrough and tool breakdown right now.
Male: Tools for this install, an impact, ratchet, a couple of 10-millimeter deep sockets,
a 10-millimeter shallow socket, an extension, some scissors, and a trim removal tool.
First, we're gonna grab our clip removal tool and start taking off the trunk liner.
We're gonna go ahead and take the liner off of our bumpers here.
Unclip your trunk release latch, and go ahead and work it around the locking mechanism.
While here, go ahead and remove the rubber plug from the corners. Go ahead and grab
your 10-millimeter deep socket and start taking off these 10-millimeter bolts at the corners.
To be sure you don't drop the nut through the trunk, go ahead and close that up a little bit.
And we'll do the same on the other side.
Go ahead and grab your ratchet still with a 10-millimeter socket
so we can get these two center nuts taken off.
Now, as you're taking off this last nut here, make sure to grab hold of the spoiler
to prevent it from falling out of the top of the trunk.
And with that removed,
we're able to get our factory spoiler. Now don't be afraid to remove the spoiler.
There may be some adhesive from the factory holding it in place. It's just a simple tug.
With the spoiler now removed, go ahead and clean up the area that you're gonna be working with.
Make sure to get all that adhesive off.
At this point, we are gonna start installing our weatherstripping onto the underside
of the spoiler. That way we don't scratch up the paint on the trunk.
Go ahead and run it along the outer edges of the bottom side of the spoiler.
And after completing the seal around the edge, we're gonna go ahead and trim off any excess.
With the foam grommets that are provided in the kit, we're gonna go ahead and top
off the mounting holes. There's gonna be four along the trunk.
On the very corner of the trunk, you're gonna find another hole that you're gonna need to
cover up. Do not punch out the middle of that plug. Make sure you do that on both sides.
Now that we have our weather stripping on the underside of the spoiler and our plugs on top
of the trunk, go ahead and grab a buddy to hold the spoiler in place while we get the
bolts threaded. Hand threaded at first, and then we'll go in and tighten them up.
At this point, we're gonna take our 10-millimeter shallow socket
as well as an extension, and we're gonna eyeball this one to get this threaded at the corner. And
we're gonna go ahead and do the same on the other side.
Now with your bolts in place. Go ahead and take
your deep socket 10-millimeter and go ahead and tighten those down.
Go ahead and pull your trunk latch through the opening and get that back in its place
as well. And we'll go ahead and get our pop clips pushed back in place.
Don't forget to get your rubber plugs back in the corners of the trunk.
That's gonna wrap it up for this install and review for the MMD V-Series Rear Spoiler, fitting
