If moneys not an issue yeah go that way. If it is a factor and you have the talent TrackSpec vents, Ninelives wing and make your own splitter.

Nine Lives makes a splitter to match their wing now, too.

Dang, I wish they had that 7 months ago when I bought there wing . I just finished making the whole laid down/forward radiator splitter air dam setup It's still a work in progress, so after seeing this I thought I'd order the PDF file for there splitter as a backup.
Thanks Stingroo.

I’d say there’s not a need for much but removing the pop up head lights and making sure the car is lowered and has in the factory front splitter .
