rjdmmfl1 has a silver car and ESP has a black car, both with the Stillen Splitter. They have a few pics on the Members Modification thread. Hit them up!

They're the turnbuckles and are meant to help stabilize the splitter at speeds in excess of 200km/h. They also look really good if you align them with the sloping sides of the grille. I kept them on for the aesthetic reason, but now have found another purpose; I hit an exceptionally tall parking stall bumper and the 3M tape on one side came off. If it wasn't for the turnbuckles (and the fact that I also bolted the far edges to the bumper) it would be hanging lop-sided!

lol... uhhh, yeah, splitters have been installed on fast cars for a long time... and as mentioned earlier, they help keep the front wheels on the ground at high speeds... not that we will be driving our cars that fast on a regular basis (I have hit 130mph from time to time)... as ESP stated, they are primarily for aesthetic purposes on our cars (especially the turnbuckles)

and yes ESP, I agree, I've hit a few of those stal bumpers also, and I'm positive that it would hav warped if not for the turnbuckles!

also, to the OP, here's the pictures Stillen took of my car when I grabbed their first production set...
