interested in this also (gd3). all i've seen online are the J's racing canards and those only fit the JDM front bumper.

yeah the j's dont fit. i am waiting on my friend to let me try his from his EK9 they are R-crew ones for 99-00 front bumper. only other ones i can think of that might fit are DC

Haha yeah i was wondering about the size.oh well i already ordered them so will give them a try.those aluminum ones are nice.my friend works at a fab shop so i figured if the universal ones don't work out i'll have him atleast use them as some kind of mold and fab me up a set.i had to get a new front bumper awhile back and need to install my ducts back in it and was going to fab up a splitter also.

you need something in the middle or the splitter is pointless. im already making one out of plywood. seems like thats what everyone is running and wood is cheap $$$.

you can buy that universal rubber shit they sell on ebay to seal up the gap since our lip isnt even all the way across.

Yeah thats the kinda splitter i was talking about,not just like the arc winglets.and yeah i was just wondering how well the plywood would hold up to weather.might water seal it then have it vinyl wrapped.

yeah you can wrap in in vinyl. ive read people take it to body shops and stuff and use epoxy or fiberglass and paint it so it looks professional. im not looking to spend a lot on this because its probably going to crack and break.

with everything it will be around $100

this is the cost for a custom APR splitter
Cost:
The cost for the custom splitter is $340+ shipping (a pair of support rods and hardware are included).
Estimated working time: 2 weeks.

Yeah i dont want fiberglass thats why i was just contemplating wrapping it.i might even look into aluminum since my friend can get that cheap.

redrumm · #14 (**permalink**) 10-01-2009, 03:54 PM

Yeah that works too. Only thing you have to worry about is dinging it up and having it rip off your bumper cause it doesn’t break like wood ya know. Id run alum!!! If I could get it

you do alum
i will do wood
