SilverHorseRacing Headlight Splitters

Well, since SHR is in production of the much anticipated louvers, I thought I'd suggest a next project. These are made by a company in Orlando - Vantage Sports Cars, but not advertised and are $160 a pair. With the awesome reputation for quality, and the willingness to bring quality products at a fair price, I figure Marcello's the man for something like this.



Wouldn't these be a little easier to design and manufacture than the louvers, and even the blackout panel?

(Maybe I'm wrong), but Agent 47's aren't headlight covers- they're an aux air intake. But yes, I'm hoping for framed ones that don't look so 'tacked on'.

Personally, I like the look of the 3D carbon splitter better. I don't care much for the framed version, it looks tacked on. The only thing I don't like about the 3D carbon splitters is the price. It seems high for a piece of plastic.

+1 on the look and the price. I'm still on the fence about these, but the price is definitely one thing keeping me on the other side.

Exactly. If the 3d carbon splitters were $40, they'd be on my car. I personally prefer the framed ones, and if they were $80, they too would be on my car.

(well, one or the other )

Yeah, it'd look kinda funky with one of each....

Do them in different colors too.

On the serious side, do they block much of the headlight?

I doubt they'd block much light. Actually, some lighting theories say it might improve visibility.

Ultimately, what I'd like is to mount the splitters overtop of a piece of headlight tint, and give it the look of a 70 Boss.



Oh, and
