I'm not quite sure what you mean are you comparing the T-series one to the classic etc one?
If so you can see the T-series spoiler extends slightly past the boot flattening out the bootline more & generally looking better but I believe it wont cover the bolt holes left by you standard wing so will require a little more work to fit comapared to the classic one which will. |

I believe all genuine AU Spoilers bolt onto the same holes!

low_au_classic, Fibresports should have the Classic style spoilers if you're after one.
mrghia, there's not a huge difference between them, but if you do a search I put some photos up a while back showing the difference. The TS one only uses 2 bolt holes though, so you'll need the other 2 filled if you're going from a XR spoiler to a bobtail. Cheers, Matt. edit: I found the thread, have a read if you're interested... http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...hlight=bobtail |

Im tossing up whether to get this spoiler. It looks good, but Im also a fan of not having one at all too.

If you go the TS one, you will need to fill the upper holes left by your old spoiler - just something to keep in mind; I got mine done for around $400 including repainting the boot lid and blending it in, and painting the spoiler (I did all the fitting).
