I'm looking into getting a stillen front splitter at some point but in the meantime, I was thinking about removing the oem one altogether since you can barely see it as it is. Has anyone taken it off and not replaced it with anything, and if so, do you have a pic of the car without it?

I'm assuming you're talking about the air deflector under the front bumper? It's there to redirect airflow; removing it will decrease gas mileage.

Mine fell off at some point... Will be getting it replaced soon.

Yeah, that's it. I was assuming it was just a lower quality version of a splitter. It seems too small to do anything, but I'll leave it as is until I get a new one. Thanks for the info.

No problem. I thought the same thing, but my MPG's have dropped 2-3 since it fell off. Splitters are installed towards the front end of the bumper, so they won't interfere with the air deflector.
