Headlight Splitters? Yes or No ?

Folks, I've had my eye on the 3D carbon headlight splitters for a while, and I like they way they look, but I just don't want to go "over the top" with my car's front end.

Please vote on your opinion ! thanks.

I voted yes Rob. I like them on the colored cars. GO, TR, Candy Apple. I had them on my Black GT/CS and they just didn't show up enough. I only pulled them off so I could put the black out lenses on the headlights. I think Al from Jersey had them on his Candy Apple GT/CS with black bullitt wheels and they looked awesome to me.

I haven't heard from Al in a long time. Not since he installed his Saleen.

I think you need to get rid of those amber markers on the front and go with black ones. IMHO

No... Your car looks mean enough! Keep it that way, never want to do too much.

I like my 3d Carbon headlight splitters. They are no more "over the top" than the rest of the car.

Here's a couple of pics of Al's GT/CS. Second one is from Atco last Saturday. Can't see the splitters that well in it - just thought it was a good pic.

I voted no, but am still contemplating. They are the one thing holding me back from the Saleen Heritage Facia.

^^ Um, I think you need to move the "A" to the right a half inch.

hmmm, looks like the "NO"s have it by a landslide. Guess I'll invest that money in some hood pins!

thanks to everyone voting!

I like the looks of them one standard headlights but I have never seen them with HID's. I have a feeling they would look pretty bad when combined.

Normally I like the splitters, but I think with your stripes, scoop, etc I would probably leave them off.

You can just have the body shop cut the spliters off and sand it down smooth. I've seen the Saleen Heritage front with them removed, and you wouldn't even know they were there.

Whom is that directed to? If you're talking to me, I haven't actually bought them so there's nothing to put up. I created this poll to help me make up my mind.

thx
