Default Autotecknic front splitters anyone?

Anyone running these? I like the look since I'm about to put on my Amuse front bumper...What are your thoughts? Yeah, Ebay bla bla bla...dont wanna hear it. I wanna hear how you think they look,and the install process. Don't care about functionality, just looks. I'm not too crazy about the Amuse splitter, so I'm looking for other options

I had those and at first it was nice. The quality was much better than I thought. Down the road I eventually took them off, I started to think they looked really stupid and sold them to some kid.

might as well get a full splitter (aka APR) and have it functional than waste it on these things.

Oh well, too late! I don't like the look of the splitter. I'm only after looks, not functionality. If I like it, they'll stay, if not, I wasted 45 bucks. I put a lowball offer and they accepted anyway.

The problem with buying for looks is, anyone who knows anythings it looks like you installed some cheap crap on your car.

Well, they showed up today. $40.00 even shipped. The quality is what you'd expect, kinda "crunchy" plastic but fairly thick. Once I get a coat of paint on, I'll put em' on my bumper. I still think they'll look good...and if they break on a scrape somewhere along the line, oh well...they were $40.00.

Those pieces are larger than I thought they would be.

Can you add an angled shot in better light to show the thickness?
