Pic Request: Cars with OEM Front Splitters ONLY

[MyKmYk]

Hello Everyone,

So I've done a or two and am having trouble coming up with pics of cars with the OEM front CF splitters without the front lip. So if you have this setup, especially in Tanzanite (can't wait for mine to arrive) please post them here.

Here are my contributions... All images are the property of their respective owners:

Cf splitters only look good on dark cars. Makes that white car look like it’s missing a bumper.

I agree with this as well. I was thinking of running only CF splitters but then saw a Ferrari Red with one and it didn't look as good, like it is missing something. If I got the splitters, I would also get the lip, but that's for my car.

yea. i see a ton of guys with light colored cars running the front lip/splitter in black. looks horrible. i'd opt for non CF splitter or lip and just run bone stock and add an aftermarket one from mode carbon or something. at least that retains the original design language and still gives retains that low to ground look.

I have a Tanzanite F80 with the CF roof on order and I intend to put CF mirror caps, rear spoiler, and rear diffuser as well. My thought was that I need the CF splitters to balance everything out, but my love of the lip is hit and miss. Sometimes I love the look, sometimes it makes the car look too "boxy" [for lack of a better word]. I also know it would ultimately be damaged even if I was very careful, based on my past experience with road hazards.

this to me looks much better:

and it gets worse as you move farther away from it

I didn't think it was that bad until you just focus your eyes on the lower center intake. Then it just can't be unseen.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm still on the fence.

Different strokes for different folks lol. I actually feel the opposite. I think splitters compliment light colored cars a lot better than darker cars. I saw CF splitters on a black M4 and you couldn't even tell they were there. I didn't see the point? Darker cars definitely need an aggressive front lip for the lip to stand out. Lighter colored cars work well with just splitters imo. But if you prefer a more "subtle" look, then I understand. But hey every one has their own taste.

This. Also, with the black kidney grilles, the black/CF splitters and lip look dope. To each his own

+1 Why would it look better on dark colored car? Because you can't see it? Doesn't make sense to me either. I tried numerous front lips on my AW and settled on the MP because it's substantial and doesn't look tacked on like most of the other lips.

I really like these from iND if you are going splitters only. I perfer this as I work about scraping with a lip.

Yes, I was thinking about going this route... I guess I may have to give the guys at IND a call...

I would do pinstriping instead of buying (overpriced) painted.

Looks the same and is reversible if you change your mind or want to sell.

I personally didn't mind it without the lip. Although I am about to install the RW CF M Performance version lip because I love the look with the lip add-on haha.

Does anyone know if you install the front splitters with the lip, and then you decide after the fact that you'd prefer to go without, can you remove it without damaging the splitters themselves?

Answering my own Q... I spoke with IND yesterday and they confirmed that this was possible, though you will have drill holes on the underside of the bumper.
