Default Difference Between OEM GT500 Front Chin & Cervini's Type III Front Chin?

Does anyone know the difference between between these two front chin spoilers? I'm talking about as far as installation, craftsmanship (sturdiness, quality of plastic, etc), and fit onto a GT. There sure is a huge price difference between the two; Oem GT500 chinis around $60and the Cervini's chin is $219. Any information or input would be appreciated.

well the GT500 chin doesn't fit the GT without modification to it. and even those don't look good to me.

Yep, agreed...Which is why I went with the Willpak Industries chin / splitter. Excellent fitment, no mods....easy install....

Yeah, I love that Wilpak front chin on your car! Wish I could see your car in person so I can really study it. That is actually my front runner at this point. Only thing holding me back is the price on it, very steep. I know the oem GT500 front chin will require me to drill two holes at least. I think the Cervinis one will also. But if they both are of similar quality and fit, why pay more for the Cervinis one? But if the Cervinis one is actually the better of the two, then I'd definitely go with the Wilpak one since its only a little bit more in price.

The Wilpak requires you to drill two holes as well, at the extreme outboard position. It uses 6 existing bolt locations, and you drill two additional. Quite easy, as you are only drilling thru the plastic front fascia....

Good luck on your choice. If you are ever down OC way, you are welcome to take a look at it.....

oem needed modification. several holes. i like the look but definately can admit its not the greatest match with the car. anyways, for the few hours extra time it took it was definately the right choice at $60. and no shipping since i picked up from dealer.

Where do you get the Willpak spoiler and how much does it cost. I have a modified GT500 and don't particularly like it.
