It's a direct bolt-on if you get the OEM piece; if you purchase a GT500 spoiler that is an aftermarket I believe that you don't use all the existing holes and you use some sticky tape. I don't have any pictures but I have seen some and it looks really good.

I think you have a double thread going on here for the same subject. Anyway, I installed one about a month ago on my GT. Not only does it directly bolt to your existing OEM spoiler holes, it uses a industrial strength 3M adhesive to insure security.

I think this spoiler looks the best on the S197's.

They are OEM calipers painted with Duplicolor red caliper paint. The wheels are True Forged Speed 7's. 19's all around.

What do you guys use to fill the holes that are not used?

You don't fill any holes, you use the 4 OEM mounting holes.

The install is very straigtforward. The hardest part is removing the adhesive left by the stock spoiler. Other than that, it bolts right up and uses 3M double sided tape.

The best place to order from is this place. Paint is a perfect match, great customer service is awesome and shipping was quick.

Went to the site and it claims they are only $90.00 is this correct? Ford want's 295.00 for one in primer.

Their is a difference between the spoilers from ford and the ones from the spoiler store posted above. The ones from ford (the actual shelby part) have 4 screws that line up with the 4 factory holes. The imitations only have 2 that line up. They have an optional 2 but you have to drill

That's true but to me it is not worth another $100 for two more bolts. It is the exact same thing minus that difference.

Once it is mounted on the car you cannot tell the difference between the $95 one and the OEM Shelby piece.

^ for true. I have no problem drilling to holes. and you save a lot more than $100 because you don't have to get it painted

You don't even have to drill new holes, it is just that the factory pedestal spoiler leaves four holes and the non-ford spoiler only uses two so you are left with 2 empty holes.
