BBS 18's look the business and the car "standing up" on the suspension is great.
What brand is the blue sway?
I'd suggest some tap on the nose to protect from scrapes in the absence of the chin spoiler. One other thought I had on the spoiler is to cut it into sections (so the front is one section, say 20 inches wide) and the left and right sections, then cut the corners through. Most of the scraping seems to be right a front and at the corners ... if these sections were cut, they could fold and scrape easily without the whole chin ripping off ... but still have aero effect at appropriate speeds. Just a thought.

i may try the cup splitter for a day as it is super flexy.

the sway bars are GMG.

I'd recommend putting the splitter on, even if you know it's going to get destroyed. It's surprisingly resistant to breaking and may actually protect the hard parts upon contact. I've somehow managed to keep my original splitter intact over 22,000km and 19 track days.
