Default Yay or nay? Front splitters

I just added the brake ducts instead of the fog lights, I think that I like them. I also have a set of front splitters that I bought cheap. Do you like them on a base Carrara cab or is it trying to make it look like something that it isn’t? Everybody’s opinion matters!

I'm a fan of the splitters. I hope to add a ducktail one day soon, and maybe RS side skirts as well.

I think your nose looks good and clean as is. I’d leave it alone. My .02. Nice car.

Not worth the effort? Totally your call, but it doesn't do a thing for me either way.

If you like the way they look, add them. Mods are about what makes you happy (says the man with blue calipers!)

If you do decide to do it. I would have the brake ducts painted and the bumperettes shaved and painted all at the same time.
Top it all off with some Euro clear turn signals.

Take off the front license plate; you're done.

^^^^^This. I hate the front licence plates. And as far as the splitter goes I don't hate it, but it's not my cup of tea.

#1 - Your car = do what you want

I added Aero 1B splitters - I think it "balances" my car nicely.

Hi

For a long time I really liked the idea of the front splitters, but as time goes on I have started to prefer the original clean lines of the car without them.
