Default Difference between OEM, AM, and 3D Carbon GT500 spoiler

Hello Dan,
I am ready to get a new spoiler for Lucy and have decided on the GT500 one. I am trying, and hope you can help me, on figuring out what is the difference between the OEM, AM, and 3D Carbon versions? Does one stick out farther on the sides? Does one stick out back farther (hang farther over the bumper)? Do you happen to have pictures compairing the 3? I only ask because they look very similiar online and could use your help!

Thanks,
Matthew

Matthew,

There's actually only two "different" GT500 spoilers. The two that we carry are both made by 3DCarbon, but one is pre-painted and the other is not. The only other GT500 spoiler is the OEM, but we don't carry them at the moment because the 3DCarbon spoilers are identical looking to the factory. So, if you pick up a Pre-Painted 3DCarbon spoiler, you'll have the exact look of the GT500 spoiler with the correct color to match your factory paint!

Let me know if there's anything else I can clear up for you!

Thank you very much! You answered my question perfectly. I just wanted to make sure all three where the same minus paint (on the 3D Carbon one).

I'd like to note that the OEM GT500 spoiler has a gurney flap whereas all the replicas don't have the gurney flap.

Sorry, I forgot about the black gurney flap on the factory GT500 spoilers! Of course, you can add this to our aftermarket 3DCarbon spoilers, too. You'll just have to purchase it separately else where.

Thanks for catching that IndecisiveS197!

The gurney flap on a race car is meant to add/remove downforce (it's usually either adjustable or replaceable).

I'm not 100% sure of it's purpose on the GT500 spoiler. I don't believe it's adjustable but could be wrong.
