Default GT rear valence on v6?

Is it possible to put a rear valence from a 5.0 GT onto a 2011 V6?

Thanks,
theACe

Sweet, thanks for the info. I looked at the GT500 valence already and I honestly do not like it very much, I think the GT valence looks perfect.

Thats just my opinion though.

Thanks guys.

I will say, the new 2011 rear valance is nicer looker than the stock 2010 valance. I swapped to the GT500. But I might have gone to the 2011 as well if it was available

what's the diameter for the gt500 rear valance space? do we need a bigger exhaust to fill it?

Install isn't to hard. Just be carefull with the rear bumper part by the lights. I didn't pull up enough before pulling out and broke one of the tabs. Pain in the butt to fix. Check out the roush website for an excelent write up of removing the valence.

I see you live in texas. I have my stock 2010 gt valence in my garage that I'll sell you for $50 if you want it. I'm in Round Rock so if your close we could meet halfway if needed.
