Default Mutton Chop Splitters

If 6LE's splitter = "chinstrap", then what is on my car would be considered "mutton chops" I think. I got a 6LE splitter for free from a friend because he ran into a pole with it and damaged the very front of it. So, it was originally supposed to be a joke. I cut the splitter in half and got to shaping the sides. Then I spent more time than I thought shaping the sides. I then drove my car for a bit and said they were a joke to people to see their reactions. To my surprise, I got compliments from non-car people and car people alike. What do you guys think of them?

I will be taking them off until I get some sideskirts and figure out what to do with the rear bumper.

6LE or I am capable of making more (I have a laser engraver, he has a waterjet, neither of us think anybody would buy them)...

Technically, that's general Burnside, which is where we get the name sideburns from.

Mutton Chops:





And technically the splitter blew up from the slamming into the world biggest dip (4 times while leaving and returning to my friend house)....and cracking my front bumper too. The splitter kept my bumper together, since only the very front of it cracked..... and it was version 1.0. Which was way cheaper material than we're using now. But very comparable.

with some more refinement they could really work, they accentuate the lines of the base fascia imo, not bad.

They are already off... I'm going to leave them off of the car until I get some TA sideskirts and figure out what to do with the rear bumper. Took them off in November to lift my car off the K and pull the motor. Motor still isn't done (hint: it could handle 15 PSI if I could afford to go FI right now).

I think these would go great on a TA with a Formula bumper, or a Formula with TA sideskirts and rear bumper. Just can't bring myself to cut holes in the rocker panels for the TA sideskirts.
