Guess you're somewhat referencing this thread:

It's going to push in the corners... no need to go crazy, most racers use Home Depot diy splitters with great results.

I wish there was a decent splitter option for the Pre facelift front fascia.
Believe or not I actually think the OEM aero bumper is somewhat functional and doesn't upset balance of the car such that you need a rear wing.
