Default A little diffrent idea for a front splitter.

I saw something on instagram a few nights ago and its been on my mind ever since. I saw a c5 that had what looked like a universal ebay splitter on the front of his car, it was a little different but actually looked pretty clean. I did some digging and found these... Considering giving it a try but not real sure if its going to fit like im hoping. Anyone else out there tried this or seen it done?

I 'really' like the mod of a splitter on a C5, but I have talked to guys and read about the cooling issue on putting one on. It's funny, I have already contacted a supplier of these and am going to meet him to see how fitment works as well as what it would look like. I want a split splitter, does that make sense, I will post pics of the mockup and get some forum feedback.
