Default I found my dream front splitter!

After endless scrolling on IG, I've fallen in love with a front splitter.

@Ken0038 made it himself. I DM'd him to see if he had any info to share.

I'm looking for a place that can duplicate it, but not in carbon fiber (front splitters take a lot of damage, hopefully in black coated aluminum).

There are quite a lot of places that make custom splitters for a reasonable price, I've started reaching out to ones in my area to see if anyone can do it. Has anyone had any experience with places like this or have recommendations?

I also see some national ones like ezsplitters and gorillasplitters that will make it and ship it to you. But i think I would prefer an in-person shop to fit it directly and install it if I can.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean?

That's a custom made lip on a 2006-2010 SC430.

Are you sure it's custom made? It seems like most lips are just mix and match, I recall on the other thread someone found a lip that "fits" from a 09 accord.

Honestly I'd just get a ebay lip for like $60 and call it a day. I just looked and the one these days basically comes in 3 pieces and you can adjust the corners of the bumper to fit your car. Polyurethane is also very durable and basically indestructible.

I was looking at those universal ones, I wasn’t keen about any of the styles I saw. I was hoping for a rounded splitter that traces the bumper lines.

It seems like there’s a lot of shops now that make aero, I’m going to see what my options are.

I have a splitter on mine and it's made of fiberglass so it's bendable to make sure it fits on the SC430. It comes unpainted so you will need to buy some good ol' spray paint to paint closest to your vehicle's color. Mine is black so can't even tell.

Technically that’s a lip, not a splitter, but it looks great and I would never know that was spray paint. Awesome job!

I found a place in LA that makes them, I went up last weekend for them to measure and test fit before they make it. Going back in a week or 2 for install.

I know you were asking thekiwi59, but I think it might be this:

Looks like its for the 02-05 bumpers.

^ thanks damn I've seen those before but $350 for a fiber glass lip is steep. Maybe I'll just try a universal one. I've only had polyurethane ones before and I like how flexible and durable they are.
