Vekke's Solidworks CFD thread shows that a reflex curve can have similar effect.

I'm favoring the splitter for my XFi. I have a blank cut out of 1/8" ABS for when the motivation strikes.
ideally id like to extend my spoiler down and out a little farther to reduce wake size, then the last few inches, flip it up gurney style

julian was always saying in his videos to avoid front splitters because you want air to flow under the car if its got a smooth underbody. so confusing!
