Stonkin Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Later this summer i'm gona want to add a front splitter, i've been looking at a few and also chosen the kind of style i like. But then i thought it may look good to have a carbon front splitter. My car is black, gona have black wheels, tinted rear lights and light window tints eventually. How well would a carbon splitter wear with regards to damage, i dont mean chipping it on the front of curbs but the odd stones flying up on a normal painted front would chip it, but it could be easily repaired, how about carbon? Been trying to find some pics, but struggling a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 to be honest, it'll cost more to buy, be harder and more costly to repair and you'll probably not notice it that much on a black car anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 hahaha, you dont like the idea then? Only one i can see is the Seibon Carbon Fiber Front Lip that MVP do, but i cant tell from the pic if it comes up at the sides or is the same level all round? Just seen another one by Sard, but that just looks very flat and a bit boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 whifbitz do one mate but i think it's the Seibon one as well, take a peek at their website. i like the idea, don't get me wrong and have thought about it myself. but you'd have to be a pretty careful driver to get away with it (which i'm not) and a different coloured car to contrast with the carbon.

Stonkin Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yeah, this is the whifbitz one, but it comes up at the sides around the bumper which i dont like http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/parts/seibon/front%20lips/supra_large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I got the Seibon in for another member few weeks ago Must chase for some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 So are there any other choices other than Seibon or Sard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 The Modellista one - but TBH trying to get anything out of them - I think like some other traders too busy with USA work! Go Seibon mate Here http://miami-gt.com/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=31710466acc43a439e7cc981cb671bf2&keywords=seibon&osCsid=31710466acc43a439e7cc981cb671bf2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 AH! that helps a lot Paul, the only Seibon i had seen was the one that came up at the sides, ie, the TS Lip. Now i have just seen they do a flat one all around, the TJ Lip. Cheers for that link! Anyone have any pics of the TJ lip on a black car?

Ian W Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 that TJ lip does look very nice indeed mate but still not sure if it would stand out enough on a black car to make it worth-while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 To be honest i wouldnt really want it to stand out major, its the little things that catch peoples eye during a second glance that count. How does carbon wear with stones hitting it, does it chip? Would it help to put some of that plastic stone guard over the top of it, or would that make it look shit?

Ian W Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 well, i'd certainly be interested to see what it turns out like actually.......i think you should go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
