Default Suggestions for a bumper cover/ splitter

I just purchased the OEM wing (cab style wing) for my 2004 C2 and have been told i need to balance it out with a spliter. This is good advice, but would like to know if someone makes an after market splitter that will fit on the stock 04 C2 bumper. Porsche does not make a splitter for the 04 C2 front bumper cover- which forces you to buy the aerokit 2 bumper or an after market of sorts.... I understand some drilling may have to be done, but if i do it right then great.


Chime in with the help - Thanks

Wellerdmac- Thanks for your help thus far. Will this fit on the 04 C2 bumper cover, or does it have to be modified?

AND if anyone did have to modify - share your pics please.

Thanks

I think there is a special partial splitter that works with that cab wing. It goes underneath the car behind the bumper...do a search and you can possibly find some info on it. I think LVDell had some old posts on this.
