Here's a picture of the splitters I just installed. Give me the good, the bad and the ugly.
How do they attach? If they aren't attached to the chassis, but to the bumper than they are going to bow down at speed and be counter productive as they will add drag but little to no downforce.
who cares about the function,they will be cracked/scraped and otherwise obliterated in about a month:tongue:
As the stuntman says, "they might be somewhat functional, but if I like them that's all that really matters," and I do like them - for now.
What's the center-piece that your using for your custom-fab'd front-spoiler? I've found some interesting splitter side-pieces (via ebay as-per your rec'), but not sure about the center portion. Perhaps the urethane garage-door weatherguard edging stuff is applicable?I bought the splitters off of eBay for $80 shipped (listed as universal splitters). They are PVC and the finish is first rate (it actually matches the finish on the OEM spoiler). The duct in their middle matched my brake coolers so that worked out well too. The material is too flimsy to be functional without the brackets, but with the brackets they firm up nicely and I would have to think they would be fully functional. They are the same height as the OEM spoiler so they don't lower or raise the front profile and they can be mounted so the sides don't stick out beyond the sides of the body panels (not noticeable from the rear of the car).
I understand this look is a matter of taste, but their function was my goal, and I think I acheived an improvement over the stock setup. I know I will be channeling a lot more air, and with the design of the front fascia that air should hold the car downward. We'll see??
Happy Motoring!
