Default Will a GT500 chin spoiler fit a V6 bumper?

Just like the title says. End of the road, I want a GT500 splitter, a V6 bumper and then I'm going to try to mount a different set of aux driving lights. I'd just get the grill, but the half inch gaps on the side are not what I'm going for. On a side note, anyone know where all the V6 bumpers go when people swap out GT bumpers? There are websites that sell takeoff GT parts, but I can't find V6 part for the life of me.

It won't fit, but i'm sure you can modify it to make it fit.

I've never seen a site that sells V6 take-off parts, but there is some stuff on eBay.

As for the GT500 chin, it's a simple piece so it could probably be modified, but that would take some serious work and it would probably always look weird.

The GT500 chin has to be modified even to fit the GT bumper, which has a wider, less curved profile than the V6 bumper, so you would probably end up with bigger gaps to fill in and a lot more black plastic showing if you tried sticking a GT500 chin onto a V6 bumper.

A guy in my local Mustang club did the GT500 lip on his V6 - her's a link to the thread with pics:

I think it looks funny on a v6 with that fat black trim stripe.

That looks great on your car. I've been debating on whether I should buy one and try it. You may have talked me into it.
