Turnbuckles are on

After reading all the horror stories about the Stillen Splitter flying off and Stillen not honoring the warranty if the turnbuckle isn't mounted, I broke down and put them on and reinforced the splitter with some stainless steel screws. Splitter looks kind of cool, IMO.

i think the front end looks way more aggressive with them on rather than off

They definitely work on OB. Kinda nice detail to the dark look.

I think the car needs a non-stock sideskirts and something in the rear to to finish it off.

actually, they are if you go fast enough. I've seen a couple pics of them snapping off in the middle area.

Ya, I did that too. I am telling you guys, with my luck if I didn't put that damn thing on it would fly off. At least now if it flys off Stillen should cover it and replace it.

I agree, working on that. Looking at roof wings and side skirts, but I am getting an R2C Intake this week, so the cosemetic stuff will need to wait a little longer. Thanks for the feed back guys.
