Much like your chin spoiler.......[&:]

I believe their purpose is to pointlessly block some light while draining your wallet for a look that really doesn't add anything to the car...

Oh and it helps glue my car to the ground. After installing it I was able to turn around a street cone at 180mph without braking.

looks like the very last mod you could
ever possably do and then, WHY?
stretchin for mods does not mean they look good.
tastefuuly done looks good not bottom of the
barrel mods. But to each his own. Buy em and
stick em on. They split the air and you get less
bug splatter on your healights. Or they trap more
bugs that are hard to get out of between the
splitters and the lens? Maybe honda-ism style
projector halo LED blackout halogen aftermarket
headlights and splitters, now thats a good combo.[:@]

The splitters allow the headlights on the Parnelli Jones Saleen (S197) to simulate the split turn signals on the original Parnelli Jones Mustang:

Chin spoiler doesnt block light and was only $60....

Style is function.
This is another mod that looks good on some cars and not so good on others.
I won't be putting them on mine, but that's really got nothing to do with anyone else's car.
