ARC front lip spoiler on my Mugen front bumper

Need some opinions. What do you guys think. Yes or no?

Honestly... depending on the theme of your car it would look good or ricey. IMO if I had a PWP with smoked headlights/corners, CF hood, black wheels with chrome lip, tint I would go for it!

How is this going to be attached?

I remember you having some problems with an under tray that detached. As long as you could get this to stay put, I think it would be a nice addition to the car.

There's 5 holes on the splitter,so I think it will stay put this time

I like your old one better, but I think this one is still nice since you have the full package going on.

i think the way the end angles upward is a little too much. i like the flat one with metal posts.
then again, if you keep this one with the "wing tips" angled up, it'll have a nice DTM look.

i think it looks cleaner without it. your car has the perfect combination of style and class, too many add ons will take away from it imo.

Lito, this may be a really dumb question from way out in left field, but have you ever thought of painting your splitter WDP? I think it would look hot. Of course you wouldn't be able to see the Arc insignia anymore but maybe this could make for a more subtle look?

eh... personally if it were me I'd leave it. Painting it just gives it more opportunity to get scratched up and then you would have to look at that. Plus its a splitter... it should stick out
