They're out there... out for awhile now. It's the mounting points that gets tricky. The OEM R-airfoil has 2 bolts outside and stud/spacer/nut on the inside.
Carbon2Carbon has one for the non-R cars but uses 3 mounting points... so you get this below. If you do not repaint deck you'll have to put caps on the deck lid holes.:
I decided to catch the last Heathrow to Newark flight and will catch the first Newark to Denver flight in the morning. I want to pick up the car tomorrow. I will go back overseas on Sunday. More excited about this car than other deliveries. Photos and driving impression tomorrow.

Isn't great that we are talking about Mustangs in a positive way in a Porsche forum?
I flew all day and made it here...I picked up my R this morning at 11am MST. All the paper work, $, was done so I was out of there in 15min. I got a bottle of water and out of there. The folks at the Ford dealer were extremely nice, very friendly, NOT arrogant, just a bunch of good Joe's. It reminded me of the Porsche dealer that I bought my first Porsche in 1993 (a new RSA that the dealer could not give away). Back then they were just regular Joe's too...
Why did I buy a new Mustang? I am not as blue blooded as Waxer, but I do love Mustangs and own 2 other very nice ones, as well as my F450. But the real reason is because I cannot get a manual transmission in a Porsche GT car. Plus I like the Ford leadership...I am on the list for the 991.2 GT3/GT3RS/GT2/GT3RS if any actually have M/T.
My last new Porsche GT car purchase was my 2008 GT2. I now have a 72 911S/87 911 Turbo/94 Turbo 3.6/996GT2/997GT2/997GT2RS. And my wife has a '10 Cayenne GTS and in two weeks getting another '17 Cayenne GTS. (And I DD'd a 91 Turbo for 7 years -> DD a 6TT --> DD a 7TT) ... There were more...I have done my share of feeding Herr Piech and PAG.
Most of my cars don't have back seat, and I NEVER turned the radio on any car.
I buy only white or black cars. Keeps things simple, and it allows my wife to look the other way. NOT PTS but PWT (Paint without trouble). Recently I crossed the line and bought back my Silver '99 S52 M-coupe from the guy who I sold it to 10 years ago and he never drove it, and now a Blue Mustang. Therefore, my wife is aware that something is cooking...
To the car...Let me just say that I am proud to be an American! And I am proud of Ford. Nice car...really nice...I'd recommend you to buy one.
I was expecting horrible paint and gap after reading all the bad news. The gaps are perfect (to my eyes). They could be on a new Porsche (to my eyes). I love the color.
Engine is awesome!! very nice. Sounds is great. Pulls hard. I did not go over 4,500 rpm. I know that it will make way more power at higher rpm. The last time I was on this road I drove my GT2 and that car has a lot more torque, but not as much soul, no way.
Mustang feels heavy, but not too bad. The clutch is light and refined compared to any GT2. More refined than a 6GT2 but less than a 7GT2.
The Tremec is awesome! Wow...as it warmed up it got better and better...I have a TKO500 in my '67 and the feel very similar and direct.
The sound in "Sport" mode reminds me of when I drove a Nascar at one of those driving schools.
Brakes are good, but not PCCB.
Entry sill "Ford Performance" = cheap!
Recaros are awesome
Anyhow, that's it for me...I am leaving early AM and get to spent another night on an airplane and off to europe for a while.
ALL THE BEST.
My first and only car love...25 years ownership...I can buy 5 GT350R's for what I have in this car...
We should meet up one day. I'm also a very black/white guy.
Have 3 white 911s, always had black DD. Trading my black Raptor for a black gt350 that sit and wait at the dealership in Florida. Hoping to leave Europe next Monday so I can head over and pick it up.
I'm on a "list" for the 991gt2rs with some really weird options. Hopefully the car will be presented in not to distant future.
