You were bashing on a vendor, and recommended APR for a "functional" splitter. It's awesome that you are fast and furious going 140, thank god you didn't blow welds on your intake.

 

josh - no prob. i thought about powdercoating them but i might just spray paint them and say hell with it.

mike - its only a couple inches under the front bumper.

thing is about the angle, the bottom of the front bumper actually curves upward so the splitter points up slightly. ill try using the turnbuckles to get it closer to even though. not that worried about it because like i said, it lasted this long without them even.

sool - if it wasnt white then ya.

pfizzle - actually i was making fun of all the people on here that dont push their cars. and i mentioned the apr splitter because its the only other option out there.

myg37: slow and pretty

 

Does this splitter not bolt onto the actual bumper in the middle?

 

depends how you install it joe. i did 8 bolts across the bottom as well as 3m tape but it still tore out a couple.

 

I think it will look good with the turnbuckles painted black. Prolly have to PC them though which will cost like $50 which sucks.

 

i got my lugs done for $3/each so shouldnt be that much. actually just took off the old spltiter today at kevs and spray painted an old turnbuckle and tow hook. didnt come out that bad. im worried pc'ing it will be too thick on the threads so dont think ill bother.

new splitter will be here next week so im going to paint everything myself and see how it comes out. should be rebuilding my front end next week for the new look.

 

Be careful with powdercoating. Most PC companies raise the temp too high, and the structure of the metal is compromised. Find a company that specifically has a low temperature process; it will cost more. I've seen a lot of rims and turnbuckles break on the track, and PC was determined to be the cause of the failure.

 

my son has one for his 350z and its great. thats to bad it broke off on you

 

ya like i said, im not pc'ing them for a couple different reasons. and its all good since my new 1 will be here next week.

 

almost forgot to update you guys. ill post better pics once i get unlazy but this saturday...

cold and rainy this morning but still knocked it out at kevs in just over an hour.



painted splitter + painted turnbuckles + painted lower grills + painted tow hook.

 

^^^ Nicely done!

 

thanks bro. i cant keep track of this thread with mods moving it all around.

 

PC'ed tow hook? Now that is hardcore.

 

pc is for rich people. i actually found this sick blue @ home depot.

 

Woady,

Did it break your bumper? Like where the bolts where installed? Or just the splitter itself? I just put mine in I did 10 Stainless Steel bolts 1/4" diameter with lock washers and Lock nuts instead of the screws... Counting the two corners that I also replaced the bolts with a longer bolt I have a total of 12 bolts... plus I put as much 3M tape as I could get in that thing LOL!... I hope it stays there...
