EEEEwww, I'd hate to be the coroner doing death certificate on that body.
But back on topic, how about those fancy aftermarket front lip kits on lowered cars.
They look great for about 2 weeks.
But for the next 2 years the owner is often driving around with the lip bashed up, chipped, cracked after many hits with concrete parking lot blocks and road debris.

Window visors are great for rainy cities like Vancouver. When it rains 8 months of the year, it helps. You can open the windows a bit to defog faster. Get fresh air while it's raining. +1 for not getting water on my interior. When it's hot outside I can crack open the windows a bit so the interior keeps cooler when in a parking lot.

More neutral? Hardly. Higher threshold of grip, maybe, but far from neutral. Everyone knows that rule #1 in FWD suspension tuning is never stiffen just the rear suspension. If you find yourself flying through a turn a bit too fast, your toast. One lift on that throttle and the back end is going to be coming around with no hope for recovery. It's the very nature of FWD. Stiffening the rear end will only exacerbate the problem.
That's the kind of stuff you get with old Porsches.

But some of the guys with their cars slammed, under 1" of suspension travel left, negative camber burning up expensive tires every 7K miles, cracked front aftermarket lips, droning exhaust sytems, tires rubbing all 4 fenders, cut and rolled rusting fender mods, 235mm stretched tires on 10.5" wide rims, 15% tint all the way around, blackedout tail lights, they haven't had a chance to read this thread, .
