Default Lower Quarter Side Scoop opinions

Anyone done a comparison, or has an opinion on the different quarter side scoops? I'm curious about quality, design and installation issues.
I like the California Special's but the cost seems unreasonable. Anything 'special' about them?
The Shelby CS6 design looks cool and I'm starting to lean towards them at the moment.

The Xenon side scoops are the only ones that match the fender flare. That is why I bought them. I paid like $125 with free S&H from Amaerican Muscel. All the other designs just look stuck on to me.

Xenon and CS6 are the exact same but xenon is cheaper. That is what I have on mine too

I have the Cervini's C-Series Side scoops, IMO I like that they didn't flow into the finder....

I still like the GT/CS side scoops, but they're $$.

look at the 3D Carbon ones before ordering


Here's how I'd classify them so far:
The 3d Carbon - probably the most elegant, should work on all most all looks short of all out boy racer
The Cal Special - most faithful to 60's Shelby styling, should work on most all looks
Cervini's - most reminisent of 60's performance Mustangs, works better as look becomes aggressive
The Xenon/CS6 the most rad design, adds a modern race aspect to the look, works better on the street racer end of the spectrum.

I have seen the Ford Side Scoops on a Shelby in my dealership they tape and bolt on but the cool thing is the air intake has a very nice black plastic grill to them not a sticker black out. When I look at the Xenon I thought the same thing they look like the Shelby CS6 but I think that there is more of a set back on the door edge then the Shelby CS6 has and I have never seen inside the Xenon but I think it is empty of any insert but the Shelby CS6 looks to have something inside the air intake part.
