Hey,
Classic Mustang here in OKC shows a listing for a Fiberglass spoiler and a
'High Impact' plastic. They show the plastic to be for fastbacks and the
Boss 351, the fiberglass is listed for 6 cyl and 8 cyl. Any reason to pick
one over the other? This will go on a daily driver 71 fastback, not a Mach
1.

Thanks for the help.
Scott

I believe only the Bosses received front spoilers from the factory
(dealer installed)
and they were plastic. For this reason alone I would pick the plastic
part for your
fastback. The plastic part may hold up better in typical service as
well.

Thanks. I was wondering why I couldn't find a spoiler in the shop manual.
