A splitter generates downforce on the front of a car by creating pressure differentials.

On an all out race car it acts as a downward force on the front of the car. On a street car it acts as a curb feeler
Here's an example of a splitter on a firechicken from frrax.com....

I am sure it does, but still not the most gracious looking thing. Form over function. The other thing I think it does is sorat make the car the be a front breather as opposed to a bottom breather for cooling. At the very least some sort of duct or scoop must grab air from the splitter and route it up to the radiator I would think.
