Default C5 front ACI spoiler

Does anyone have any thoughts (PROS or CON)on a ACI front spoiler.

I think they look great on a lowered car, but I'm sure I'd tear it up!

My personal list:

PROs - Finished the front end of the car.
Also, goes well with the MCM hood.

CONs - None presently. I just had to adjust my driving a little more. That was it.
Oh wait... I always thought the ACI made the rest of the car look unfinished (too high)... so I got the side skirts (After Lori aka Btchn99) inspired me. I guess that's not really a con... just wanted to share.

FWIW, My car is lowered on stock bolts.

Here is a picture taken this past Saturday of mine. I like the ACI front splitter but as you can see, you'll need to be careful.

I have to get around to lowering this car one of these days.............

I think they look very good on the car, just have to be careful not to bump it up against something when driving.

A similar question was presented a couple of weeks ago.
It might give you some more opinions.

I hate that stoopid curb I hit...

The spoiler has been off for several months now. I've not made up my mind what I'm going to do about it. I may use it for shows etc...

I'm also interested in this MOD however I was viewing one this weekend at EG's grand opening. I don't believe I can use my BRA if I decide to buy one. Looks like it will not go all the way under with the ACI installed. Is this true or not??????

I have only test fitted one of those mesh, stretchy fabic type bras over the ACI spoiler and nose and it fit fine. As for a heavy bra - I don't know.
