Default GT Racing vs Performance Products vented nose?

Looked through lot's of old posts but could not determine which of these products people perfer?

Hard to tell from the picture at GT, but the nose looks better than the Performance Products nose. Anyone have any recommendation or have one of these products?

Thanks
David

The consensus is the Performance products one has some serious fitment issues. Some people have had luck reshaping and fitting it, but it doesnt sound like a prime/paint/install kind of part.

Perry has one and although his looks great, he says he wasted plenty of time on it and still isnt 100% happy considering the price he paid.

I bought the GT part a few years ago, and having never fitted any glass body part before then, I thought it was a challenge to fit well, althought it did finally look good. After a few heat cycles, the surface became wavy, which made it obvious the part was glass. The opening for the intercooler was long enough to reach back to the intercooler, and had to be cut to fit snugly, so it was easy to segregate the airflow from the two openings.
