I've been thinking about getting a splitter myself but i can't see it looking good on a car that has stock suspension. I think it looks a lot better on lowered cars so i'll have to wait. Can't wait to see the finished product!

For the record, my car is on stock suspension. Whether or not you think it looks good is a different story, though.

Considering your $200 deep BEFORE any body work already I don't see how $500 would have broke the bank, lol...

For those wondering what bumper they are talking about, here's the one I sell...
