6LE Splash Guards any thoughts of making these for the front and then tieing them into the side splitters or just the underside of the car??

EDIT: AFTER LOOKING AT THESE PICS MORE MYSELF I AM GOING TO REDESIGN THESE. THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME SHAPE AS THE ZR!, SWOOPY (not straight like mine) OUTSIDE EDGE AND THEN A SMOOTHER (less of a 90* turn) BOTTOM.
Ok, here we go... SO, the current design splash guard I have looks like this...
I designed them as part of the "6LE Package" so they were dual plane to give a finishing vanishing point at the back (on the horizontal plane) for cars that were running the front/side splitters, front/rear canards and rear valance, and all together they looked great...
However, when I tried to install them on my friend Carlos' car they didn't work because of not having a place to mount them horizontally due to him having the old school WIDE SLP CME valance.
SO, I designed a more traditional splash guard for his car and figured I'd offer it to others as well. Basically it is similar to the ZR1 style splash guards...
But will NOT require you to cut them yourself (which it seems most people mess up to be honest). You can just bolt these on and go.
Here's some CRAPPY pics...
As you can see they adjust up or down, however you want them...
THEY ARE DIFFERENT than the ZR1 Design because they don't swoop in as dramatically at the bottom. I did this so they'd give you the most protection BUT if you want them to follow those lines of the ZR1 style more I can do that for the same price (if you also want them taller that is no problem either).
The price is $100 shipped ($25 cheaper than my other splash guards) for the pair AND they come powdercoated (knock $20 off if you want them bare).
Seen in the pics is a (dirty) hammertone black. I will offer it in hammertone black, hammertone dark grey and satin black BUT I can do pretty much any color you want (as long as you don't want color MATCH, for example I can powder coat in white but no guarantee it is same white as are cars).
They are WAYYYY easier to install than the ZR1 style you have to modify AND you can take them on and off easily in case you just want them on for track use.
Thoughts?

don't really like the third ones. looks too much like mud flaps.
the second one is nice. i like the adjustablility and the rounded bottom edge.
the first one is what i was thinking about. i like the horizontal piece which extends under the valance. is the vertical piece here adjustable in and out and up and down?
can you take some pics of the first and second ones front the front of the wheel well to show how they attach?
also, can the first and second options be installed on the rear of the front tire and tie into the side splitters?
thanks
tony

and considering you're the guy who thought just putting LEDs in was the best mod he ever did...

I would think you would have a little more respect for the product diversity I bring to a dead market.
As I've said countless times, all my parts are NOT for everyone, LOTS of my parts are simply something ONE PERSON asked for me to make for them, so I did and then offer it to others since I have the design already...
