You have to see it in person. They look much better. The splitters are not that noticeable and I think clean up the rounded curve of the front bumper a bit. I'm not sure how that is rice-just a good accent piece.

What justifies riciness? These splitters aren't about rice, they may add little effect on the front downforce but if you think about it, why would people get any type of bodykit at all? do they get any performance gains? Little to NONE, but appearance-wise? hell yeah. I got the idea for the splitters because I've been noticing how from a certain angle, the front of the CL looks somewhat lacking styling accents on the lower bumper corners. While making up for the weakness without sacrificing clearance, the splitters add better styling value than the Versus front kit, as well as the front TL kit which looks really bad when custom fitted to the CL.
For the non believers, you all gotta see them in person, for the whole time I had them on, people have been checking out the car even more, giving compliments on them. So it's all to each his/her own opinions, not everybody has to like them. They're just there for the market to have as an option. If you have a better idea of the front mod, please chip in.

Btw, they look good Ahmad, can't wait to see them go with the versus sides and rear. That combo setup has been in my vision for long, you get to make it come true!

Thanks, I will work on getting the pics with the kit soon! But i do agree, our front bumpers lack somthing and i think these made a very nice accent. I wasnt sure about them till i had them on the car, just looking at the pics from your car didnt have me convinced 100%, but now they are on, i am..and everyone who has seen this car in person has had something nice to say about them. Pics dont do them justice.

They look pretty good on black. I'm definitely not into the rice look but these actually look kinda sharp. I'm not sure they'd go on my SMR car though. Overall a great looking ride.
