I've got mixed feelings. I like it, but its not fully flushed right. Take a look at the pics and tell me what you think?
I'm trying to figure out how i can re-mold the side so it can sit in 90 degrees of the bumper. If it does. I would definitely keep it.
Anyone got suggestions? I only mounted the left one and the right side one was just stuck on.
ITs definitely different that a full splitter. OF course I want to be different, but that darn corner is bothering me.
BTW, I didnt really want to wait around for anyone to make one, and I had these lying around from my failed attempt to put V-style splitters on the car. So the only thing I spent money on was some double sided 3M tape.

They don't look too bad, but how are you gonna re-mould CF?!?! 
The biggest problem here is that they look unfinished. If you can somehow finish them so that there're no holes in them, they'd look good IMO. Are you good with sketching and technical drawing? Just trace a wireframe pic of the splitter and sketch a few ways you'd do it and post it up - see what looks best to everyone.
