I just had to make the same decision, and went with the splitter. I think the IPL bumper gives our cars more of a 'wedge' look up front, while the splitter looks more 'muscular'. Obviously the splitter is the cheaper and easier option. It also looks more 'custom' when applied, especially w/ the turn buckles. The IPL bumper may or may not blend with your OEM side skirts, while the splitter blends nicely.

I think it's a matter of taste and the look your shooting for.

I went stillen splitter too, since my car is K51 the cost to paint the IPL bumper, sides and rear plus parts is just too high. I never liked the look of the aero front end but after many did it with dropped cars it doesn't look bad. After a friend did his in the same color and I saw it in person I was glad I went with the splitter.

I was a fan of the splitter and was about to buy but then saw the IPL bumper & sides. I then planned to get the IPL but realized that it ONLY looked hot when your car is dropped. I won't be dropping mine for a while so I waited...I have Michelin tires and they seem to be cut larger than a typical 285-30-20, which actually helped fill in some of the gap. Now the price for OB went up so we'll see what the final decision is once I drop my car, IF I drop it.

If it's about the money, go with the splitter and be done.

You didn't say what color car you had. If you have one of the colors that are still < $300 and do plan to drop it, I'd go with the IPL front but get the sides as well.

Last time I looked they only had red and LP for the low price but you could give them a call to make sure.
