Raise your black valance line to go wider and go higher up for an aero affect. Have the splash guards end at the valance line. If the valance line is widen, the splash guards shouldn't need to wrap around the bumper much if at all. It would be trying to get closer to the coupes rear valance design.
Why not just take that piece off and make a new one that is lower so that if flows with after market side sils. It is easy to pull it off. 3 screws and slide it twards the wheel.





I think it would look much better than the gaurds do.
