Universal Splitter

I just took my stillen lip kit off my car today because Nismotic is buying it. Well now my car just looks stock up front and need something to give my car the lowerered look again. Was thinking of a splitter since i can acctually get some gains with it.

Anyone have experience with this? Im not the craftiest person so i couldnt make one myself. What are other options besides getting the stillen lip again?

I thought they were supposed to keep you grounded with some downforce. Sure maybe not that much is acctually being applied but damn how fast were you going over the hill?

Some one made one, do a search. But Why not just buy a Ionic lip, its about the same price and looks 3870923x better.

if anything i would just buy the stillen lip again. I think it looks alittle better then ionic. I know someone had made one and he said he could feel the difference at higher speeds. The main thing about the splitters is that they will create more downforce then the ionic or stillen lips.

Maybe for a true race car, but for a daily driver good luck with that.
How would you even know what the correct positioning of it would be for ultimate gains? Eyeballing it?
Have fun not scrapping it, I really dont see it being too forgiving if you were to bump it.
In the end, for a daily driver its just for looks just as the Ionic or Stillen lips.

well im not saying i want extream downforce. I just know that i took off the stillen lip and the front end just seems alittle looser or something. Yes i know i wouldnt have the right angles. But it would be nice since im going to start tracking my car now and not just at a drag way so and additional downforce would be helpful. Im really just looking for ideas besides the 2 lips that are out.
