Here is a link to the $100 GT500 spoiler on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...mZ110223290690

I am debating the same thing for my car. I like the Roush wing the best but can't justifythe extra $250 (painted version... over the ebay spoiler). I think I could use that $250 better for other mods, but I definitely want to get rid of the stock spoiler. For me I think I am going w/ the GT500 because I like it alot as well.

For those with the Roush, is rear visibility affected, because it seems higher than most rear spoilers?

For those that bought the eBay GT500 one, did you like the quality and match of the paint?

+1 and it says the GT500covers the factory holes butdoes it utilize those holes for mounting otherwise how is it mounted?
and i guesswhen ordering you justspecify what color you want since they just say painted...?

I installed a dozen of Roush spoilers and all of them had the center piece slightly warped.
The front corners on the top have hard time to stay flush because of it. Not very impressed.

Also, buy it painted if you decide to go with it... Too much prep for the bodyman, you'll end up paying for the difference regardless.

I prefer my spoiler over both Its not too flashy, still functional (to an extent) and just fits well. Although it does do away with the 3rd brake light. I'm still fairly new to the stang world, but i think this is a cobra spoiler. If im wrong someone should fill me in!! Between the 2 you have asked about though, the roush just screams "I'm gonna stomp a mudhole in your a** and walk it dry". If you want to maintain lower visibility and keep more to a sleeperish look, go with the GT500. Either way you can't go wrong.

TPony love the car!!!
and pascal how does the roush spoiler go on... does it use the factory hole and then some 3m, especially wondering about the side parts of the spoiler because i read that the roush wing turns your tail end into "swiss cheese"

The side pieces require you to drill 4 holes per side to attach. AND some 3M tape [8D]. Don't think they're going anywhere!

Does the GT500 spoiler fit with the stock 07 V6 spoiler?
