Default C7 Winglets Installed on a C6 Front Bumper

Not my C6 but...What do you guys think?
Does it flow well with the car or does it look odd?

Honestly, I don't think it makes any difference. It adds nothing, but also detracts nothing. They're just kinda... There.

Too aggressive and paired with the ricer lights looks bad imo

It breaks up the lines to me, so I'd pass on it.

Looks like crap. Maybe if it had front fender guards that came out further and up the wheel opening higher it'd look more balanced. It just looks like some ricer bolt on crap like that.

Its the gaps that are questionable to me.
I could only imagine how much dirt, debris & leaves that little "pocket" probably holds.

Looks like a clean install.

Yet I kind of agree with posts above, the car's add on aero just don't look artistically balanced.

But if lap times improve + 1

Not a fan. It looks a little bit "ricer" IMO.

I'm sorry doesn't really flow with the lines of the car. Looks like you added a 90% piece of black plastic. I would pass on this mod.
It doesn't compliment your beautiful car.

I have to agree with the majority - it looks tacked on, not integrated. Not something I would add to my car.

May not be everyone's cup of tea but if you like it who cares what others think.

Guess nobody really reads, since many keep commenting as if it's the OP's car.

How about that, I didn't even notice but I'm also guilty of scanning and not a complete reader sometimes.
