Will GT500 Front splitter fit GT?

Will the simple functional Shelby front spoiler fit a GT?

best thing to do is go with a Steeda front spliter or a GEF racing front spliter, i myself am going with a carbon fiber Steeda front splitter if the GT500 conversion does not go through

it would not be worth hacking up a good splitter and bumper when there is one made for our cars already

Some one posted some photos from another forum. Either the guy made a pigs ear of it, or the chin of the GT facia is just not the same profile as the GT500 (as it looks). Surgery nonetheless is required on one and/or the other. Very tempting modification. I still like its shape compared to the others

The Legend splitter seems to integrate nicely. I've seen the Steeda and to me it looks too grafted on. Makes the car look like it needs a nosejob. The CDC looks OK but a little too "Classic" for my tastes. Splitters look more high tech (probably because they are).

So this guy did the Shelby GT500 splitter on his GT ... looks a lot better than that other picture set I saw posted a few weeks ago. That splitter was maybe forward 1/2" or so from where it shoud have been.

It is expensive but it is think. For the price of it though I would save the extra $200 and grab their entire front fascia.
