I did a search the other day on ducktails and found quite a few good threads with pictures... and also some where the pictures got lost in the migration. Anyways, some good info if you do a bit of digging.

The result for me was to go with the CDC ducktail over the street scene. I got the impression from the posts that the fit and finish was a little better on the CDC. Plus the CDC is a little more subdued than the SS and also relocates the 3rd brake light which I found I liked the look of. There was another ducktail that looked nice but I can't remember the name of the company but the price was like double what the others cost so that one dropped out of the running quickly.

CDC ducktail with running pony

Personally I think this is the best spoiler on the market but hey that's just my opinion.

Depends on if you have the factory spoiler. I do, and I don't want to pay someone extra $$ to fill in the holes and repaint the lid. So I'm looking for a spoiler that will cover the holes. Mainly, the new 3d Carbon GT500 spoiler or the Roush spoiler. Leaning towards the Roush.........

This is the 3D Carbon one piece that covers the factory holes. It looks exactly like the one on my GT500.

Does the CDC spoiler cover the factory holes? I was leaning toward it. How much does the 3d carbon piece run?

No, the CDC spoiler (and the SSE ducktail spoiler) both attach to the back side of the trunk and rear quarters, not on top, so they leave the holes completely open.

I wish the Roush one didn't require drilling
The 3d carbon 3 piece is nice and the sse generation 2 aint bad(its a one piece though)

My father got the prepainted one and I installed it for him. Nice looking setup and pretty easy to install if you're careful.

Just got back from a local car show, and there was plenty of Roush cars there- and one new Shelby GT500.

Before the show, I was really leaning towards the Roush spoiler- but not anymore. IMO, the new Shelby spoiler is awesome! Looks much better in person than in photos. That piece gets my vote!!!

He got a prepainted Street Scenes spoiler? Please provide a link, I'm in the market for one but haven't found anyone that sells it painted.

I have the Street Scenes and like it over the CDC for the following reasons -

1) no drilling required to mount it
2) leaves the third brake light intact
3) the height of the spoiler is slightly more than the CDC

The Street Scenes pieces require a multi-step process to prepare them for painting. I was charged for 1.5 hours of prep time, but the guy who worked on mine is precise. Also, the parts have to be carefully aligned to ensure gaps are minimized. The guy who did mine described them as 'decent'.

The CDC is also a good piece. The fit is right on the money.

I just ordered one (SS ducktail) from Kevin, I feel better about prefitting it before it's painted just to make sure everything is OK! I prefer it over the CDC for the same reasons as you.

LOL! Well I don't know if this will help you or hurt you, but I found this thread useful for narrowing down my search:
