Looks like something we'd see on "Death Race 2000" (or in Japan).

Maybe if it was a little shorter I like the stealth look more.

On 2nd thought I wouldn't use these as a stool, I'd use these as a snow plow or an ornamental shelf of some sort..Bosozoku style haha but yes...the saying "Less is more" should apply here

For me too big, my selfmade splitters are perhaps a little too small?

real cf splitter is going to crack/break anyways. $150-$200 just for that

plexi glass wrapped in cf vinyl will cost about $40-$50

Thanks defcon, didnt know the word, yes, its a kind of plexiglass
you can do almost every shape you want.Then cut the edge around the whole splitter, because its too sharp. Put vinyl on it drill 3 "screws" on every splitter through the under side of the bumper. Very cheap and unique mod, about 5-6 hours work
Love such modifikations
Have the same kind of splitters in different shape under the rear bumper
Tried the same with splitters under the side skirts, didnt work because when it gets warm outside the plexiglass get a wave form, which looked ugly, I got them now in aluminium with carbon vinyl. much bettter and another cheap and unique mod

Got more pics here https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-photograph-gallery-144/white-pearl-black-carbon-789415/
