It looks like it's just attached to the stock GT bumper?

Anyone have any ideas who makes it or where it's available?

It is attached to the stock GT bumper...most likely it is the CDC (classic design concepts) aggresive spoiler...I myself have the CDC classic spoiler.

It defintely isn't anything made by CDC.

Check it out, the spoiler is completely flat and extends perpendicularly from the bottom of the bumper. CDC spoilers are angled downwards and are completely different in shape.

That looks like a Steeda splitter.
Steeda Carbon Fiber Front Splitter - '05-'08 Ford Mustang

Legend mustangs has something similar but a little more subdued.
Legend Mustangs - Where the Past Meets the Present! - Legend Front Splitter

Most splitters/chin spoilers attach directly to your stock bumper,

The splitter is offered by Silver Horse Racing for $299.00. Attaching stainless hardware included and it doesn't affect ground clearence.

Hmm, both the Legends and Steeda splitters are around $300 and (!)$400. I think i'll just purchase a OEM GT500 splitter ($60) and modify it to fit.

It's ridiculous the prices they charge.

Thanks for your help guys!

Sorry, I'm looking for a GT500 type splitter right now.

Thanks though!

Cervini Type III it fits the GT front fascia but it's 200 dollars and you'll have to do some painting to get it flat black. Fits like a glove and addresses the issues that hacking the GT500 lip does in terms of clearance.

Another option to consider.

Hmm, for double the price, that looks exactly how a GT500 front splitter would look.

What problems does retrofitting a GT500 splitter present? Ground clearance, etc?

It actually looks slightly different. The GT500 splitter has two protruding sections following the contour of the bumper up to the lower grill which is different then the GT bumper. The Cervini follows more closely the GT bumper and is slightly pointy at the center to integrate with the stock bumper.

The main issue with retrofitting the GT500 splitter is having to shave/cut off the center plastic section which leaves a visible gap that is both rough looking and that is aerodynamically incompatible with the car unless you plan to use some type of plate to block or divert airflow over into the lower GT grill. If you leave it alone it has a tendency of flapping which doesn't look very good and can potentially losen it up with time.

I have cervinis type 3 or gt 500 style splitter. it's a quality piece and looks great. It lowers ground clearance about one inch. It comes molded in white. I used a textured paint made for plastic I got from menards. Make sure it gets scoufed well before painting.
