F32 DIY splitter extension

I want to add some body colour onto the base of front bumper almost like a splitter extender (to tie in with my body colour side skirts)

I’m not a fan of the splitter bottom bar being full colour either so I chose to concept my own..







The side flags need finessing and the base extending. I considered removing the side flags however the base extension by itself just didn’t do the original splitter much justice.

So I’m after any opinions or suggestions

Now contemplating doing a sharp cut off instead of a curve into the middle:

Took me a minute to figure out what you meant by side flags.

The vortex generators shoould come down in size lengthwise about 33%. They look too long and big by comparison.
Also the slant back angle looks somehow wrong, as does a straight back cut. Maybe a curved edge instead? Mock up with black tape amd see what you think.

Personally not a fan, think stock looks good enough and adding those makes it stick out too much, but that's just me I'm sure others will like it

I think they look better on challengers. Nice lil project though.

I love the mags, what's the model/specs?

Not big fan of the skirt extension though...
