Next Mod - Gauge or Side Splitter?
I'm thinking of getting the AreoForce single gauge w/ the air vent holder or the Roush side splitters (side & rear) for my 2013 GT/GS.
I'm leaning towards the AreoForce gauge - any opinions?

^ yeah, now that I've been looking more I'm leaning towards the splitters. Do you have the rear splitters? & if not, do you think it looks finished enough without? With my from splitter I didn't know if doing the side w/o the back pieces would give it an unfinished look.

Mine is on it's way. Ordered it last night and should have in a few days. Out of town from Saturday to Saturday so it will be a while before I put it on.
I have a California Special so I have a front splitter by default. I'm going to see how it looks without the rear before I order them.

OP.... When I put on the side splitters.... It always felt incomplete without the rear quarter splitters and the rear diffuser splitter. So I did two things... First I found a template for the Roush side spliitters and the RTR rear quarter splitters and diffuser splitter for my GT 500 rear valance. Bought $80 of 1/4 inch ABS plastic sheets and fabricated the splitters for the rear and sides. It came out looking nice... But I still wasn't satisfied with the edges. So I called CDC and got in touch with a sales rep who sold me just the splitters for the rear and sides without having to shell out for the pre-assembled RTR rear Valance. Apparently you can't find it anywhere unless its pre-assembled, but a call to CDC will get them for you for $199 Vs the $550 for the entire rear. The difference was the molded lip edge looked more polished. But also gave me a better idea of how to make that look happen on my home made splitters. So I'll likely use them again on my son's V6.
In the end I hope you're satisfied with the look of just the side splitters. ...
Also... if it comes down to functionality.... the gauge might have been more useful for you. But Aesthetically the splitters are a wow factor for the onlookers.
Just saying...
