Looks nice, but it needs to be spaced out from the bumper cover to allow air between them. Otherwise it's not a splitter :\

I'm not sure how I feel about it... It's not bad looking but I don't know about on a bird.... Looks like it could be a bit on the rice side.

JMO but I think it defeats the purpose of The Formula's clean appearance
But if you like it that is all that matters.

LS1W66, I understand what you're saying. The Formula is all about being clean and understated. The splitter gives it a more aggressive look. It counteracts what the car is all about. Regardless, I think it looks great...and in the end, I suppose that's all that matters.

Here is a decent picture of it:

won't that create upforce from the air going up against our flat front bumper? im pretty sure there is supposed to be a good gap above a splitter.

Yea, that's what I was trying to illustrate. As it sits, it's not a splitter, just a shelf for road kill

It looks nice, but with that second pic (still dark and hard to see), it looks like it could lose about 3/4" in front-back length, or at least 1/2".
