DIY garage spliter/lip
I know it's stupid and cheap(which is the best part) and hardly noticed as much of anything but I got around to doing it and it looks SO much better along the front.
Without it my stance and such still looks good..... BUT! It's just too plain along the bottom edge. So lets see what we can do about that.... It's nice that we have this urethane guard here that we can straight up attack! Line up starting from the rear to make sure the lengths are all right and I started from the corner and worked out with the self tapping screws. You can see I edged it off so it blends into the bumper cover. I did the same in the end to the back edge by the wheels to. Then TA DAAAA!!!!! I'll have to remember to get some daylight pics of the whole front all done. I'm gonna "spat" the rear in the same fashion and then turn the stuff upside down and line the edge of the sideskirt area like a accent and double sided tape it to make sure it stays in place along the top against the body. Comments? -Gaddis

Re: DIY garage spliter/lip
When i get material I'm gonna fiber glass it and get something more solid. Them maybe make it into a whole 3 peice lip with some slits to use for vent ducting up to the brakes or something. I can't wait to move to California. I"ll be working as a tech/aprentice for a buddy who does CF/FG fabrication and he told me I can develop what ever parts I want in my spare time or down time. I've already gotten the okay to have him help me with doors, hood, fenders, Gran Turismo style spliters and Venturis, hood, etc.... I really can't wait. Well I can... till my Impreza is running I told my self I can't move.

Re: DIY garage spliter/lip
I'd like some carbon fiber engine dress up, I can't find any engine pics of what I'm talking about right now but like plastic cover in front manifold around the power steering reservior or maybe the center peice in the manifold. I would totally buy those if you made em =)

Re: DIY garage spliter/lip
I contemplated this at one point, but the rolls of this stuff didn't come long enough to do the entire front end of our huge cars. I never thought of just doing the edges likes this.
Good idea. Please post pictures of the entire front end. |
