Heres a little something I found on the stripe stuff. Its tough to see some of the images because its so small. Hope it helps. I wasnt able to find much on the spoiler, hopefully someone else can help. This info can be found in the 1999 February Mustang Monthly.
1969 Mach 1 stripe fitting instructions. This is from a Mustang Monthly Febuary 1999.

This is a brief summary:
This is an exert from the MM "How to" stripe a 69' Mach 1;
A common misconception is that the side stripes are straight and level with the rear side marker lights. Actually, they start at the rear and arc slightly downward before they move forward along the side. The downward arc is behind the rear wheel, and then does a level out and run parallel with the two body panel creases along both sides of the car. While the difference is subtle, the visual effect of the sweeping curve is more pleasing. Stripes that are installed "straight and level with the rear side lights," are almost 2 inches higher at the front than the original factory stripes!
The demensions identified here are approximate, measured along the curve of the body, and are based on the locations of cars measured with original factory stripes. Its always best carefully measure your original stripes before removing them.
The side stripes are actually three separate stripes-a wide center stripe with narrow stripes above and below. They are installed, and therefore are treated as one stripe. All side stripe demensions given are to the bottom of the lower narrow stripe, or the top of the upper stripe.
Now you're ready to tackle the rear fender. The position at the rear is determined by the side marker light which si surrounded by the rear portion of the stripe. Center the light bezel inside the "window" of the stripe, both top and bottom and front of the stripe is located 2 3/4" above the crease, measured perpendicular to the bottom front corner of the stripe. An alternative method for alignment of the stripe is too reference from the two small holes used to attach the bezel. A straight edge aligned with the theses holes identifies the downward angle of this stripe, and allows visual alignment with the stripes that are positioned lower, between the wheelwells.
Some measurements quoted in this article:
* Rear Trunk lid measures up 3 5/8" from the bottom edge.
* The downward slant of the rear fender stripe should be positioned the bottom front corner 2 3/4" above lower body crease.
* The side stripe are reference off the body panel crease. In the area between the wheelwells, this is essentially straight and level with the ground, 3 1/4" above the bottom edge of the door. The top of the stripe is 6 1/2 " up from the crease at both the front and back of the door, and center the stripe along it's lenght. Since the stripe is narrower at the front and wider at the rear, remember to double check that it's oriented correctly.
* A sheet of paper laid flat on the body panel on the crease helps to accurately position the stripe. Normal Factory tolerances at the assembly plants resulted in location variations or up to 1/2" from car, and even side to side of the same car.
*Use the same procedure to locate the short stripe on the front fender, identified by the mach 1 label and rear wheelwell short stripe. Make sure they both alligned with the door stripe and leave 1/2" too wrap around the door edge opening. Stripes between the wheelwells are all 6 1/2" above the body crease.
Some tools to use:
* ruler
* Spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of dish soap.
* wax and grease remover.
* Chamois,squeegee.
* Scissors, pencil and a roll of masking tape.
* Make sure panel alignment is as best as possible.
* Check stripes for condition and lay out in the sun until soft and pliable.
* remove old wax.
