Default Front Splitter

Two different vehicles. Can anyone identify the two different front splitters?

The top is stage 2 and the bottom is stage 3. There are several companies that make these in various materials and finishes. My general take is that I like the less expensive ones since I inevitably damage them and have to replace them every so often.

This is my EOS stage 3.

IMO, the stage 3 looks the best but depends on what you really like.

They easily could be the same splitter. GM designed the splitter to be converted from Stage 2 to Stage 3. Stage 2 is usable on street and track while Stage 3 is supposed to only be used on the track. The extra width of the Stage 3 End Caps means they get damaged easily when the car is being serviced or parked near anything that is higher than they are.

Can you explain what the difference is between a stage 2 splitter and a stage 3 splitter?

Never mind. I got it. If anyone is interested, fast forward to 6:25 to get to the explanation.
