It splits the air at the base of the bumper, so the name is accurate. Reduces air going under the car, and allows a little pressure to build up on top. It's more than just a front lip (aka airdam).

But the rods look tacky, especially being non-functional.

Wow does that splitter make your black z so much meaner looking

Splitter itself look great, and really improves the not-so-good look front end.

I guess the supports just look out of place on an otherwise stock car. If they're not functional, it seems like modding for the sake of modding.

When I saw your car with the Stillen front splitter it sold me the look and I decided to buy it myself! ; ) your car looks clean and fresh just like mine. Now I hope that you did not use the self tapping screws that came with the kit. They are BS!!! The best method to install the lip is to remove the front bumper and install the lip by adding screws with a bolt on the inside of the bumper. That way it assures it will not be going any where. I've heard from people in the forum that the lip flies off after a few months.
