Some more of the factory turbo S splitters and the techart splitters on my C2 which are the same as the ones on Southampton76

What light bulbs is everyone using in their clear corners? I looked into stealth bulbs to keep from having ugly orange bulbs in there but they're like $30 a set!

I just use the normal bulbs. No requirements here in this state to change, just as long as you have working bulbs. I intend to paint my clear corners with 50% smoke / tint paint so I will replace with the stealth bulbs then.

supplier is here (their web page is a mess but scroll down... keep scolling... when you get to things that actually LOOK like bulbs you will see a "silver" bulb that lights up amber. 1157 is the style needed): http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm

Are the factory Turbo S splitters similar to the TechArt, they appear so in the pictures.
I have an FVD in the garage. The reason I didn't install was that it replaced the plastic undertray but it didn't cover the area that the plastic tray did; the oil cooler and ac condencer were open to road grime and debris.

Look at the the other thread on here about the Techart splitter.. if you follow the link to the ebay page and look at the ad, you will see the 3 parts that make up the replacement for the original plastic undertray.
ThomasC2 that a look, thats what I have.
The 3.8 RSR is PITA to get on straight. I tried to get mine on and I just gave up and took it to my local bodyshop and they gave up. They couldn't get the front to line up without spacers. Those that managed to get them installed, they look great, but be warned, they are not easy. I have set in the garage.
I prefer the techart as it replaces the plastic tray as mentioned and makes mounting it so much easier.

Some members say their splitters are exact replacements.
Do you mean the splitters cover the exact same area as the factory piece ie, they have grills and cover the AC and oil coolers at the front corners? Or do you mean the splitters are pre-drilled for location and do not cover the coolers?
I too, would like to install a better looking and functional splitter, but it would be nice to narrow down the research to the ones that replace the originals for 1) protection of the coolers and 2) for ease of installation. Perhaps none will fill the bill.

The techart 3 piece fits the bill. Remove the plastic undertrays and they are a screw on replacement. They have cut outs for the oil cooler and AC etc. The others I have seen or tried fit on top of the plastic undertray and you have to drill them to get them to fit. None I have seen, besides the techart have pre-drilled holes and most are a PITA to fit because they don't come pre-drilled. You also need two people to line them up and hold it in place while one drills the holes
