Default Poll: Overboard or Just Right - Trans Am with 6LE Splitter AND Diffuser?

I was the first to order the diffuser for my Trans Am . I have an itching to complete the look by adding the splitter to the front end.

Anywho-
I would like some opinions. Will adding the splitter...
1. Compliment and finish the look (i.e. Dodge Viper ACR-ish look)?
2. Start to give it an overdone sloppy look (i.e. Riced Out Honda-ish look)?

The car is Black and the diffuser and splitter will both go gloss black to match.

I won't have the diffuser until around January, so pics can't happen.

I honestly hate how the splitters look on F-Bodies. The Trans Am's look great the way they are, don't know why a person would ruin it with either.

I used to agree with them ruining the look, but in the style in this picture, tucked all of the way back and color matched to the car.

It'll compliment the look. Once the splitter is installed, it looks like it should have always been there. I plan on getting a diffuser myself to go with my CF splitter.

I think it'll all look great. if i were keeping the Trans Am I'd be buying the diffuser as well. And there'd never be a time where you'd see both the diffuser and the splitter at the same time, so they really won't take away from each other, or compete. You only see the splitter from the front/side, and you can only see the diffuser from the rear.

IMHO, there is no way Crimson ruined his car. To me, that car is perfect the way it sits since the lowered it.

Go for it man...I freaking love the look of them.

Personally if I had the money...I'd do front splitter, rear diffuser, side splitters, AND canards! I love the look...I just can't justify spending money on "appearance" mods when there's a million suspension/powertrain/drivetrain things that need attention ya know

Never really been a fan of that front splitters.

Now if the splitter was molded like the new ZR1s that be sweet.

If I had a diffuser I would mold it to the bumper and fill in the exhaust pockets and the carbon fiber splitter is the only one I'd rock, otherwise I would only want one that is molded to the front bumper like DH camaros.

im buying one for my 94 formula when funds permit. it will definitely aid with aerodynanics
and cooling as well as feeding more air into the radiator and a c condenser .
