CRT Lip & Splitters: Hot or Not?

After 2 years staring at the gap between my OEM splitters I did the CRT lip thing, which has received mixed reviews. Carbon weave matches the OEM carbon exactly and figment was 90%. Only OEM is 100% in my experience.

Lip was $400 from Autotecknic. EAS installed, which involved trimming the splitters a touch on the inner underside. Pretty straightforward. Ground clearance doesn't seem to be reduced.

Personally I really like it because it fills the gap between the splitters and looks a little more aggressive, but each to his own.

Hot or not?

Interesting...looks good! I still like my Reminora RCRT. It fills in the gap in the bumper to my satisfaction.

With all that going on, it looks like one is trying too hard. If given the choice, I'd go with just the splitters.

Ive been thinking about doing the same thing, but painting or wrapping the splitter to match car color and leaving the lip cf. This will look less "busy"

It looks good from close but the difference aggressive edges and curves is a bit weird. We need pictures from further away (full car). Gunmetal ZCPs?

i think i like it, if you are standing and looking at the setup it flows right, but if you squat to lower bumper level and view from the side it doesn't look so hot.

In perspective with the entire car it ties in well but I do have quite a lot of carbon on the exterior, which kind of helps it blend in.
