My instinct tells me to keep it CF. Your thoughts?

What I would do is take the splitter and the front end and bring it to a body shop to mold the two into one piece. Either that or just paint it to match your car.

that would be a similar look to the rep lumma bumper trinity is selling...I've seen some members do that to trunk spoilers on e90 posts...gives that CSL look on the trunks....might look good with the splitter...

Bad idea. What happens when you damage your lip, you'll have to repair the whole bumper.
