I feel sorry for the car behind you! I have the CF one and not the eBay one, so hopefully that one is stronger.. I haven't heard any flapping or sounds coming from the front.

 

there were no cars anywhere close to me, so that's why i decided to try it...
also, do this...go to your splitter and press down the very front and see if it flexes at all...

i'm sure the carbon ones will not flex as much
the ABS ones flap a lot...maybe i should make a vid of me moving it up and down...at high speeds i can imagine it flaps and then on a down-ward movement, the wind can catch it and that's when it'll just snap...

 

whoa!! u even managed to get a shot at that speed that's what surprised me!

i haven't gone that fast yet, and i don't think i need to duplicate the experience... i would say though the inexpensive splitters are good for taking a beating as long as there weren't any damage on the bumper. hope the bolts didn't tore the bumper.

 

i still have yet to look under the car...kind of scared...haha
i have another bumper already (and front lip) plus the splitter was screwed into in only a few spot, the rest was into the undercarriage...

 

That's why you buy good stuff and not eGay stuff.

 

A buddy of mine got the same one I think. I'll have to let him know what happens when you get going a little too fast. Sucks it happened but atleast everyone is safe especially the F.

 

Too much downforce!! haha Damn that would be embarassing if someone was in the car.
"What was that??" "Oh...nothing..."
Are you changing it to the CF version?

 

LoL... i better get rid of my CF roof spoiler then huh...

if he just cruises around, i'm sure it'll be fine...but for some of us, we just gotta open er up once in a while...and if you have these, i'm just saying to watch out...haha

if you look at a lot of those other splitters or lips that protrude out, they use braces...that's what these need...maybe i'll take pics of how much these bend...maybe it'll help other understand what actually happens at speeds...

my buddy was in the car and he didn't really say anything...i think he was just watching the road...

i'm not changing to the CF version...i already have the AC front lip thats waiting to get clear bra'd...

 

maybe if you use rods like this car:

 

^ That reminded me of this:

 

where did you find that pic of IS??
i kinda like it haha
reminds me of true ACS kit..

 

in one of the threads in the second gen IS section

 

Damn I cant get them... My races go to 160 But I love this look.

 

resolution right here:

 

Interesting this post came up today...
I was sitting around the other day trying to think of a more rigid DIY solution for splitters rather than CF or ABS. I thought I'd template out the shape and have my buddy cut it out of 6061 aluminum plate on his CNC machine, then wrap it in 3M CF vinyl (or whatever, powder-coat, bang can, etc). Pre-drill the holes for the nuts/bolts, and also use turnbuckle style mounts.

Open for discussion, feedback welcome!
