Talking Go factory.......

Yes the factory splitters are more, there is a reason for this. The don't crack and break as fiberglass will, and they seem to hold paint better...and they are Factory. When in doubt, buy factory. I have the factory front splitters, side skirts. The RS tail was $2,000 factory, $500 aftermarket...I went aftermarket, Getty Design. MA Shaw makes good stuff too.

That is sounding like its going to be my plan. Just bought a Ma Shaw RS tail for $299 (2nd hand) . . . and will likely go factory for the splitters and RS side skirts.

Dudley,

how do you like the look of the RS splitters(besides quality you mention). I was originally sold on them but have only seen them complimented with a tail which I dont plan on adding. I thought they might look a bit unbalanced without the tail. Yours look great in the front but I cant quite see the profile.

P.S. Eric, thanks for posting your pics.

Nice, Kelly.

I like the aggressive look but it is not practical for a lowered daily driver. I try to be very careful but those splitters seem catch ever burm. I took it in for service last spring, I specifically warned the dealer to be careful, and they curbed the splitters. The only solution is to put them on as you arrive at the track and take them off afterwards.
