TKX installed. Drives great but shifter handle needs to move towards the driver's side more.

That's what I'm using. It's offset 1" toward the driver's side and 1" rearward.

Last year my wife's 02 Mustang broke down in traffic (alternator failed, didn't notice until the engine just shut off) and some kind dudes ran up and helped push it off the road.. they pushed on the spoiler which is made of hollow plastic and it didn't work real well as a push handle.

I put a temporary spoiler on her car to keep it from being unsafe,

but I also kept my eyes out for a replacement spoiler in the same color so I wouldn't need to repaint it. Despite being a super common color a Mineral Grey spoiler never showed up so I found a silver one and yesterday I painted it. Also got started painting the grille and bumper for my F150 . They are not the same color but I also got 2k clear for all of them and that stuff doesn't last after you mix it so I'm shooting all of them at the same time.

It's dark in that photo because they shut the power off, we had to evacuate for a little while as a fire was coming through eating our neighbors houses. We're a few streets south of the action and got through safe so we were able to get home & resume living.
