I went with the street scene... Got it from Stillen for like 165 delivered and it took me less than 15 minutes to change it... VERY happy with it

Get the second generation StreetScene unless you want
to have to modify sheet metal as with the 3D Carbon model.

Mine took quite a bit of swearing, a few beads of sweat, a drop of blood or two, and about 15 minutes. My tabs didn't want to come out easily.

i think i got the second generation street scene? I ordered it from Stillen today for $165 shipped like Ajabair said. I asked if i needed to do any cutting or anything and he said he didnt think so and that i shouldnt have to. Thanks for the heads up 157db!!
