Roush spoiler of GT500 spoiler?

I can't decide, ugh. I think I'm getting bored of my wingless look.

Here's a pic of the GT500 but I can't find a good one of the roush. Anyone have the roush spoiler installed? Price is about the same, Gt500 is $278 shipped and I found a 2010 roush on ebay for $279 painted.

Gt500. Only mounts to the trunk and isn't three separate pieces. My $.02.

GT500. I highly recommend if you're going to go with a wing you save your factory decklid and look for one to drill, or trade with someone. It'll make your life a lot easier.

I wonder how much they cost from the dealer?

Can't imagine them being cheap. It's a lot more rare to find a wingless decklid than one with holes in it.

I know you're thinking of doing the same thing. Are you just going to drill the holes? I heard the 3M tape should be enough to hold it without the holes, but I'm a little skeptical.

Here's my Roush one. I think both look good. Anything to make the back end of these cars better is a plus in my book.

If I chose to do it, I would drill and install as if it came with it.

Right now I'm actually selling my GT500 spoiler. I don't know when/if I still want to, so I'm waiting until after I lower the car to make my decision.

Looked it up. List on the trunk is about $580 from Ford. Did an additional search and found on car-part.com some junkyards have like new painted decklids for that cost or less. Plenty of them available from $200-600, and a few even have the GT500 spoiler on them.

Bah, I'll just drill the holes. Why are you selling the gt500 spoiler?

That roush looks nice too. Stop tempting me.

I'd rather put the money into the suspension at this point, and I'm happy with the way the car looks. I'd have to paint it (mine is silver), but I just don't feel like it.

GT500. Period. How can you look at that 1st photo and not increase your pulse rate?

To me the perfect combo is the C/S front fascia, Boss splitter, and the GT 500 rear spoiler. I'd do it with my own car if I had a coupe and the money to do it.
