Been having a look around for some good options for a rear extension using either splitters of a entire rear apron.

So far I know of 3 options ...

What I believe is the SSIII type splitter:



I don't really know the name for this type ... other than what it's listed as under Vincent's site:





And the last type isn't a splitter, but what I think is a rear apron:

either:



Or the Zephyr Lip:




Firstly, I wanted to ask if there were any other options. Which do you think would be most suitable? Also if there were any other international stores for these parts other than Vincent's site. (Like Vincent doesn't sell the zephyr apron, I don't think...)

I used to really like the Zephyr style ... but not I"m not so sure it works with everything else ... and the SSIII splitter just looks ... forced/ alien. Like it doesn't belong, I don't know, could be just me. But the last type of splitter I'm worried about whether it achieves what I set out to, in having a lowered type look for the rear end. (well at least not so high up)

FYI: I've currently got a Veilside design front, intend to get the matching skirts, but hate the look of the matching rear apron. As for the wing ... I'm intending to get the euro style raiser block. (Similar to GT4 SSIII raiser blocks, except thinner)

Cheers guys.

Never heard it called apron, only bumper lips and end caps. the UK slang for end caps is spats..

I don't think splitter is the right word, because aren't they supposed to be flat and low to the ground to direct wind away from underneath the car?

Like this Evo has an adjustable splitter
