The cheaper one actually turned pink after about 8 months because it was anodized aluminum. The GTM is powdercoated and will virtually never fade. I hope this helps in your decision making.

Thanks, but unless I can find one 'gold' in color then I'd get it powdercoated in that color. I'd rather get the GTM, but $150 is alot compared to $30 - $50. Yes I'm a cheap *** lol. I'm assuming the anodized aluminum is able to be powdercoated too right? lol

It'll never be utilized for towing, it'll be completely for show. Kinda figured the cheap one would essentially dissentigrate if so lol.

Lol. True, but I'm going for a specific look. Once I'm done with the car it'll be what I call subtley elegant lol.

Thanks. This one may actually end up being the winner
Well this one, but 'gold' in color.

Actually used it to be towed and it worked like a champ. |
I may very well be taking the same route as you with powdercoating, unless I can find a gold one.
