Front splitter project
Bought a new front lip and had it painted. Decided to mess around with some sheets of ABS plastic and fabbed up some splitters.

Wow, that really looks good! How are they attached to the lower lips? I'd LOVE it if you could make me one! I've been thinking of getting my lips painted and these would definitely go a long ways in protecting the lips!

Subtle, but nice.

Umm no, they would crack with even very slight contact. CF is extremely brittle, not good as a splitter for a lowered, street-driven car.

I made these from 3/16" ABS plastic sheeting. I got a whole 4'x8' sheet. They are attached at the existing rear screw hole, then had to use new small lag bolts on the side and front (have to drill small holes). I cut them with a fine band saw but could probably make several from the existing template

Did you install the new front lip? If so, how difficult is that to do?

I have always liked splitters that are small like that. That is awesome! I was mainly thinking that it would save my lip from small scrapes on driveways and speedbumps. Too funny I was eyeing my ACS splitters from my BMW M3 in a few pictures and thought about the splitters in a small version for the Turbo.

Can you provide a template? Or pictures of the project as far as drill holes, lag bolts, etc. I would like to have a set like these.

Are you not worried at all about the aerodynamic untended consequences of adding splitters randomly to the air dam? Granted they may look cool but they may also create lift, no?

They are so small I doubt they would have any consequences. I was thinking of stretching one all the way across the front as 1 piece and taking it further out in front but was worried the aero forces would rip it off. If you look at the various pieces from tuners, they all incorporate a similar design

FYI

According to Sport Auto magazine the Aerodynamics of the car are as follows.

Front, Lift of 8 Kg.
Rear, Downforce of 12 Kg. tested at 200 km/h

Therefore a little extra downforce in the front would help balance things nicely.
