How'd the install go? Any fitment issues?
I didn't mind removing the bumper as I was replacing corner lights, badge, and adding their CF Splitter as well. However, I currently can't remount the bumper as the dive planes simply do not fit. Description and pics below. Tapout seem like awesome...
Dropping some bumper removal notes here, in case anyone found this thread while researching how to add dive planes.

Just did this last night and will share my findings in case they're helpful for anyone else who searches "bumper removal" or "how to remove bumper CT4VBW" or whatever.
Yes to all of these of these tips.
I initially had the car on ramps but bailed on that once I realized you essentially had to...
Coming from a Mustang GT PP2 with light suspension mods. I had ~20 track weekends under my belt with that car. I am decently comfortable with how the limits feel but I too was surprised how much wiggle I get in my 4BW, since I always heard how amazing the alpha platform was.
Mine feels like a...
Great call... This is probably one of mine that shows up only when I hit bigger sharper bumps and isn't an issue more of the time. Worth addressing if/when I hardwire in my detector.
Following this thread against my better judgement, ha... forums are so informative but put snakes in my head and make me worry about issues I may not actually have...
In this case, I'm lucky enough to avoid this one so far. The only one I can nail down seems to come from the rear decklid area...
That would explain it, wouldn't it.
Minor update... after one short round trip to the office and a medium round trip to the airport, car seems fine.
I'll keep an eye on it, of course, but no codes whaddya gonna do....
Nice! That's a good call. Bolts running down from wing to trunk is probably easier than rivnuts in the bottom of the wing and bolts running up from trunk to wing.
The holes in my wing are very small... Did you have to drill out the placements for the bolts you added? If so, I'm thinking a step...
Thank you very much, once again, for thoroughly documenting everything.
And yes, this confirms it. "You get what you pay for" applies to the replica wing, but not in the way I thought. I fully expected to roll the dice on finish and it being ABS wrapped in carbon vinyl. I was going to be happy...
Actually speaking of my post above about the wing, did either the OE wing or the TapOut wing have mounting provisions other than 3M VHB tape?
I haven't gotten around to removing OE wing but I assumed there'd be some bolts or posts or alignment dowels.
Just unwrapped everything. As expected, the TapOut frontend bits were packaged very well and look amazing.
Unexpected (positive) was that the replica CF wing I ordered not only looks to be real carbon, but the weave matches fairly well. Certainly well enough to "match" the front end while...
Sounds like they shorted ya on the gas. Glad it wasn't a repeat issue for ya. Hope that turns out to be the case here.
Good call... hoping any sensor glitches were temporary if that's the case... but glad to hear you agree gas is more likely.
And I like the point about the fuel itself. The...
Ah, that makes sense.... good intel and thanks for the detail.
I found the only place I could see with both a brake line and a bundle of wiring near each other... Right around the brake master cylinder/ fluid res, but sounds like this is buried behind the motor.
I checked carfax and my car shows this recall, but i haven't gotten a letter yet. I'm the second owner but I got the car with just 300mi on it.
I looked around under the hood and thought I had identified the area in question, but I'm not so sure. I'm a little surprised there aren't yet pics...
I have yet to track my BW but have over 20 full weekends in the last 3 years across 2 Mustangs in various states of modification. The biggest differences I ever felt came from tires, brakes, seats/harnesses, and seat time. That last one in particular was the biggest, especially when paired with...
Thanks for the reply... and the more I think about it the more likely this seems. It's the lack of CELs and/or codes that make me lean that way.
It's a nice day today, so I'll drive the car to work and see how it does. Probably top off the tank, too.
