If your looking for the shaker kit for the 2010+, I think the kit is the same except for a spacer that raises the unit up due to the new hood? I am not 100% positive and I would check with CDC? I think this is the piece you would need:

I think if you could verify this and find a used unit and use this piece, you might be able to save a few bucks?

I got mine on eBay too in 2007, it was $450 or so I think. You just have to be patient and look for a good deal.
I do a good bit of sheet metal work mostly with Aluminum and I have always found it easier and cleaner to use a jig saw (when you can't use a band saw). But what is most important is to use whatever kind of tool that works best for YOU.
When I cut the hole in my hood I varied from the printed instructions a bit, for one thing I cut through the template, hood, and blanket all at the same time instead of the printed method. I got no rough edges and perfect corners.

This guy (a garage in PA) had just one kit that I think it was for a customer who re-nigged. It was new in the box, and in early 2007 the CDC price was around $725 on eBay at most vendors. You just need to be patient and do daily searches to get the best deal.

Shout out to 2010 Shaker installers:
I understand that the Shaker and the tower strut brace cannot co-exist under the hood. Is it one or the other? If so, is there any noticeable handling difference when brace is removed? I'm not sure I like the trade off.

The S197 is also the strongest Mustang platform ever built so it can do without the brace.

Wow. That's definitely a great deal. But yeah, that's something I'll be looking for frequently on ebay and such. Thanks.
