Quick poll

First let me say i am currently not selling anything just to fend off the PM from NAM moderators :-)

I was interested to find out what would be more popular among mini drivers

1-a spoiler extension made of fiberglass wrapped in carbon fiber ( like the Palo Uber style )
2-a fiberglass front splitter wrapped in carbon fiber using Long Acre fixtures

I understand that both of these are hard to picture, so im leaving the products generic for now, but what interests you more. assume both of them are excellent quality and top-craftsmanship. Which one would you buy first?

Just trying to get a guage and thanks.

i would be most interested in a spoiler a la the PU, but all one piece. so it would replace the stock spoiler.

Probably the splitter, but only because the spoiler extension looks like a cheap tacked on afterthought and spoils the visual flow of the spoiler.

I too would vote for the splitter, but not just a piece of CF/FB like the ones out on the market, maybe something with a little more line; maybe targetted towards looks more than function... (I guess I vote it like this 'cause of my non S) lol.

Something like the Garbino, perhaps... A lip-kit rather than a splitter.

Just my .02.
Leo.

Wing Extension

How about if it looked like this one, but in Carbon Fiber?

Splitter for me, I would like it if somebody could come up with one that doesn't require those metal braces to be drilled into the front to steady it. They just look cheap and prone break/rust with snow salty roads. IMO...
