Makes a huge difference, just the changes to the front bumper between the 02-03 bugeye and the 04-05 makes a big difference in the feel and ability of the car. Reducing lift/adding downforce is a huge advantage.

The SVX looks to be an easy add for a basic splitter in front and with some paint wouldn't even look out of place. Don't forget we have that huge bumper that sticks out then it heads back to the wheels, so it wouldn't even have to go farther out than the front bumper.

Oh and if you make the front splitter lower and put on some real sideskirts to keep air from getting under the car, you get free downforce for no drag added. Just doesn't work if you have to drive around town since towns have speed bumps, pot holes, and inclined ramps into parking lots.
