Non-Sport Bumper Owners, anyone else want a front splitter???

I contacted Stillen and asked if they had any plans to make a splitter for the non-sport bumper and didn't really get a clear response, I was thinking if I could find other non-sport owners that want one, that I might get a better response. Am I the only one interested in something like this? I think it would look hot on the my VR!

Are you sure the Stillen splitter wont work? Seems like the underside of the front should be the same length. You may just have to leave the support arms off like most do anyway or modify them to work on your set up.

The difference is on the underside. The bottom of a sport bumper dips lower in the middle where the main vent is. Our non-sport bumpers are essentially a straight line across. Length would be fine, but they probably wouldn't match up correctly with the different shape on the bottom side.

And yes, I would like to see a simple lip for non-sport.

The splitter is the aerodynamic addition you can seen in Kidcane's pics (the black fitting under the front bumper). I believe I am correct in saying that the purpose is to "split" the air so that it goes above and to the sides of the car to create downforce at high speeds, rather than going under the car which causes lift and poor traction. In honesty though, I just want it for the looks.

I prefer the non-sport, even if it means I can't get a splitter.

If any one needs a used non-sport bumber (IP color) they can have it at a reasonable price. Warning though, it was cut-bumped on the passenger side. It's totally repairable and comes with the black insert screens. I decided to go sport-bump during the repair process and this original Journey one is hanging in my shop.
