Half of me feels the same way as Ivan but the other half wants something that's integrated and not to announce that it's an "add-on". Actually, more and more, I'm leaning towards the well integrated seamless look. That said, I also agree that if it's too conservatively styled and subtle, why even get it.
It's kinda tough to tell with the pictures of this RDSport splitter though so I'd like to see more if it before passing judgement.
As for Federico, he's hot and cold. I had several long conversations with him in the past and he was very cordial and did not come across arrogant at all. But then I've also sent him emails that have yet to be answerd. haha

Maybe my characterization of Federico was a bit harsh after just getting off the phone with him. But the man's aloofness can definitely leave you with a bad impression.
And like ECF said, I will reserve passing judgment on the splitter until I see some better pictures (which btw Federico said he has none). Especially on a lighter color where the lines will be more pronounced.
I'll keep you guys posted on the progress of the quad diffuser.

Good idea ECF, I'll e-mail them. And maybe one of the OC guys could do us a favor and go down there to snap some shots. Off the top of my head, I can think of the following who live in Irvine: alpinewhite, NeRwEEzy, ImSort0fABigDeal, bosg, MikeBuzzsaw?

That's M5Power's ride and the splitters are Vorsteiner. They look similar to the OEM M-Tech CF splitters (probably where they got their design inspiration from). He's also sponsored by Voresteiner: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry490339.
