Sweet looking ride! I'd love to put a GT500 chin spoiler on mine!

Did you do all the work to shave it down and install it?

yes I did, not hard to do just a little time consuming, here's how I did it.
there is about 1 foot of a reinforcement moulded on the chin spoiler on each side that you have to cut off flush so that it will fit flush with the bottom of the bumper, I used my dremel with a cutoff wheel, start by attaching the sides of the spoiler to the car using the top hole on each side, there are screws that hold the inner fender liner to the fender already there, then you can raise the spoiler up to mark where you need to trim, you'll trim most of it off except about a inch, after you get it trimmed to where it fits nice you can smooth it out by sanding down, be careful not to scratch the outer part of the spoiler that you will see, I did not have to sand because I was able to cut it off with the dremel to where it was nice and smooth, after it's trimmed and fits nice you are ready to bolt to the car, using the 2 outer holes on each side as a guide, mark your bumper and drill holes, then using stainless bolts & nuts you can mount to your car, the vertical ends on each side can be moulded to the contour of your fender opening by using a heat gun, I drilled another hole about half way down and used a trim screw on each side to pull the sides in, the last thing I did was drill another hole in the center of the bumper and mount the spoiler to the bumper so that the middle of the spoiler was supported, there are a total of 5 bolts that mount the spoiler to the bottom of the bumper, 2 underneath on each end and 1 in the center, 2 screws on each end that hold the sides, the last thing was to fill the rest of the holes with interior trim plugs, also I used some rubberized roof flashing and moulded a cap to cover the center opening of the spoiler that was visible before I mounted it to the car, it took about 3 hours to do but in the end it turned out great. Also you'll notice a little tab on the spoiler on top in the middle, I took a razor blade and cut it off flush, then I used some liquid nails and glued it back flush in the hole that was there, I applied the glue underneath the spoiler so you wouldn't see it.

Sweet! Thanks for writing that up! I may look into this as a cheap alternative for a front fachia upgrade!

the keyless entry keypad is ford part# 7L2Z 14A626-BA retail $85.00
the homelink unit was out of the visor of a 05 Town Car, I removed it from the visor and cut the hole to fit the buttons and spliced into the wires for the dome lamps for power.
