Default Anyone have a bumper splitter on their front fascia?

Found this and while it is extremely cheap I thought it might add a bit of subtle aggressiveness to the crossfire. Any thoughts on how this would look and fit?

That looks pretty cool and for only 30 bucks even better

I just saw how it installs on the car. Not sure I am convinced that adhesive tape would hold it on very long after some high speed cruises. I am also afraid that the force of the air hitting the front of the vehicle could make the "splitter" become droopy in appearance. I do like the way it looks though.

cant seem to open the link. I wonder of push pins would also work in conjunction with the tape

I don't know, that auto adhesive tape is really good stuff. For 30 bucks I think it's certainly worth a try and see if you like it.

I think with pus pins, like the ones holding the hoodliner on, would hold it just fine. Certainly wouldnt hurt.

Just not 100% about the way it looks at the end where you cut it off

Well I bought it, gonna give it a try. Hopefully you guys will be right about the tape. I'm not drilling holes in the bumper. I'll post some pics and comments when it comes in.

I saw this a few months ago and thought of it. It may look good on an SRT front bumper because there is an abrupt 90 degree dropoff to the underside, but the regular bumper bends in gradually so it wouldn't look right. Just my oppinion.

my 2 cents, if it looks great they I would certainly drill a few holes under the bumper, not as many as their website showed though. Definitely at the ends by wheel well and about every 14". Id use 2x4" x 1/8 plastic as the washers.

Please post pics and comments on it

Some negative comments from past purchases...

this was a burn on me, this is a bad joke, this crap is flat! unlike the ad!

not what I was expecting, very flimsy, looks like it will fall apart

Cheap quality for the price

cheap replica material, high priced


expected better quality

I too, have been perusing this stick on splitter, even got underneath the car to imagine how it would attach and how it would look, in the end I thought it might look hokey. But I hope I'm wrong, so please post the photos when you get it attached!

It looks to be a cheap sacrificial lamb for those steep driveways that scrape up the underside of the bumper.

Today was nice so I washed the front of the car and stuck on the "splitter." I have to admit I like the look. Who knows how long it will last but I will drive around with it for a while.

Looks very sharp, remember paint and rubber intensely dislikes concrete curbs!

How's the quality of material?

Quality is eehhh. I would say its closer to foam than it is rubber. Extremely flexible. I don't want to guess at how long it will last but what can I say? For now it looks good.
