Very nice! 
I like the side skirts and I've always liked how flat that particular front splitter looks. However, what's stopped me from pulling the trigger has been those support arms. Did you need to drill into your front fascia? Can the splitter be installed without those support arms?

Since you asked, the side skirts look very good, but I'm not sold on the front splitter. Seems like (from the pic anyway) that it sits out too far and I do not like the support arms that attach to the front fascia. Just a personal preference though. Good looking car you have, that's for sure.

restricter is intended for racing applications which I do. It sticks
out pretty far for down force. The support arms are also part of the
package. Looks was second to down force.

Personally, I don't care for the aesthetics of the bolts on the racing splitters, but they serve a functional purpose. Same for the tow hook.
For non-racing C5s, there are a variety of chin splitter options that appeal more to the appearance of the car than the function, though do have some aerodynamic benefits as well, just not as much as the true racing versions.
Just depends on the primary purpose of your car
