I have Had Numerous Requests For the Shelby Gt-500 Spoiler Asking if it Would work on the Standard Bumper. In My Opinion it would Be dificult to get it Adapted to a Gt/CS , V6 or Standard Gt Bumper. The Honeycomb and the Length it sticks it out would prohibit a good install. Of Course Somebody may come up with a way to fit it and That remains to be seen. Anyway here are the Pics so you can see what you are working with.

Those parts are from CDC, it's their classic front chin spoiler and their tailpanel and you can get them MUCH cheaper from them than from Ford Racing . http://www.classicdesignconcepts.com/

I have one on my GT. I installed it this week, so no pics yet. It looks exactly like the silver car that has been floating around the forums above though. It is not for the faint of heart.
I have done auto resto work for years and this is my expirience.
It took roughly 6 hours of fitting and grinding, and fitting, and grinding, and fitting to make it look right. I enlisted a buddy to help with holding it up to the car for fitting until I got it half fastened and centered. While 6 factory holes line up, it required drilling 4 addl holes in the underside of the factory bumper and I am planning on drilling one more in each fender liner as soon as I am happy with the angle of the side "wings". I used a mix of factory shelby hardware and standard things.
Also I ended up filling the holes that show by using black finishing plugs from McMaster carr which look perfect. For the center tab that shows. I cut the tab off and smoothed the splitter. Then bought a block of black delrin stock and machined a low profile custom plug to fill the hole which took about a lunch hour of machine time using the mill at work.
I have not found an off the shelf solution for the square plug yet but am waiting for samples from a plastic plug company that I ordered before I got antsy and just decided to machine one myself yesterday.
Was it worth it for me? Yes. But it was not an easy bolt on by far.
