Bah, we're just ribbing him a lil about it. It's all in fun.

The purpose of a splitter is to give the front of the car some downforce and cut the wind. BUT, since these splitters are sitting so high off the ground they become nonfunctional.

It's cool if you guys like it, seems kinda ricer'ish to me since it doesn't follow any sort of function. I guess it's difference with this newer generation of Stangers having so many options. Us old guys from the foxbody era seem to follow the tried and true formula of - form follows function.

What's important is YOU like what you do to YOUR car.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Yep still not a fan. And I am aware that there are other cars with the same wheels. His car before the splitter was the reason I got the drifts. He now has rtr wheels btw

Hey, I love it. I think it's pretty damn funny. Haha

I wanted mine mainly to get rid of the sloped front. That OE lip just wasn't really big enough to pronounce itself in the front, so I didn't see it as it was there.

I actually kind of like the stock 11/12 lower front fascia compared to the stock 13 lower front fascia
