Is anyone currently using these?

I've thought about getting them, but I wanted to see them on the car to see if they look good. I've done a search and I have seen the regular splitters, which there are mixed opinions on them as far as which colors work best with these and what not.

Anyway, if anyone is using them, or has a pic of our car with them, it'd be much appreciated if you could pass it along my way.

they will only fit the base line bumper.

also i think they were a ABT design but im not sure.

I know they are only made for the base bumper, that's what I have. But I'm also looking at this Carbon Fiber Version that I found on ebay with the link I provided above...

the link i posted is what they look like painted, ive never seen them in carbon before. I will tell you though be careful about buying carbon from ebay especialy from china. i bought a carbon front plate delete the same way and it looked like the guy that made it was drunk, the weave was all jacked up.

Yeah, I know.

I decided to try and photoshop something together, and this is more or less what I think it should look like.

** Not my car, I googled an image with the regular votex splitter and used it for this.

Those things were probably the biggest regret I had. The CF Splitters were very hard to work with. They had little flex to them and wouldn't fit right as hard as you tried. I eventually cracked the passenger side from trying to get them to fit.

i just got those too, and they really dont fit will at all, they are clearly too short and as you said do not bend. I am going to take it to a buddy of mine who is good at this kind of shit and see what he can do

thanks for the pics AudiTFSI3o3, I really just wanted to see how they looked on the car and now having seen your pics, I agree with E.Anderson, looks to ricey. Painted is definitely the way to go.
