wow thats the coolest post of the day YOU THE MAN 
No one here should care what anyone out of the region has to say, since we will never ever see you face to face (in most instances) Mid-A'ers see each other on a reg basis so we tend to give a damn within the region usually.
I do like the ARP splitter, maybe it sticks out a little far? it's not my car!

OP He's right about the HID headlights.. The only reason I painted that part is because when I went to tape the reflector, I pulled the tape off and the chrome part came off with the tape. Not cool! So I had to paint the whole thing. The lights look really jacked up in the Pict @ night, I should have waited to post a daytime Pict but that will be taken care of this afternoon! :0 but thanks for the constructive criticism

so much cleaner and better ^
To the OP: Plz dont post up pics of your car if you cant take the critism. That splitter looks horrible on your car. It may just be the isntallation or it may just be the design.
Just learn to deal with it. Some will hate and some will like.

^-----Ahhh I like the APR one better.... also the one I have looks way bigger then the stillen one. If I were to push that lip back any further it would rub my tires!
as far as the headlights go, Im in the process of buy the 06-07 headlights or just putting driving light behind the grill. I havent made up my mind.

Dick!Looking at this pic and see the gaps that I'm talking (see the red arrows)
Maybe it's just a horrible angle or maybe the windsplitter really needs to sit back a little more? Take my comment or leave it as is and thank God that people even care.

Our 03-05's simply have a projector "lens" that happens to sit infront of all that light...part of the reason our cars have no defined cut off...
The point of my short story is that by painting your entire headlight housing you drastically reduce the amount of light output from your healights, but if you drive in the day time or just want "that look" than more power to you, and I wish you the best of luck in your travels...

I am not going to hate on this (I have no reason to, you made it your own) but I will offer my opinion!
I am a big fan of wind splitters and the APR is no exception. My concern with how it LOOKS on your ride, has to mainly do with the design on the stock front bumper. Since the bumper tappers back under it gives the appearance that the splitter is sticking out too far (although it probably isn't) In addition, I think there seems to be groove between the splitter and the tappered portion of the bumper cover, I am not much of a physicist but you are going to creating drag throughout the length of the bumper in that area. This is only speculation though, daytime pics from the side would probably make this evident if thats the case. My suggestion would be to have a small lip molded in that area to offer a cleaner transition from the stock cover to the splitter and also to make the base of the bumper cover more stream line.
As for the head lights, I am taking a guess you painted them to match the CS. I kinda like them actually, they are very unique, Good job. Could you post up pics of them with them on; kinda of curious if they look similiar to blacking the housing out.
