Making my own front splitter V6

[Colt]

Maybe something like the Stillen/Street Scene?



I suppose you could swap out those support pieces for ones connecting to the lower grille. As long as it's bolted to the lower grille, it shouldn't be going anywhere.

Something like this:

I like the idea of the rods going to the lower grille. So I would just connect it by the rubber guard and bolt it to the front grille on the bottom side and I should be good to go? How would I go about doing this and what about the side connector pieces? I guess I could bend the aluminum? How would I cut it also? With snips?

V6 models got screwed! Because the way the Bumper curves in at the bottom, you can't get a very good looking lip...

Very true, but at the same time, it doesn't look aggressive unless you have something down there, T2 and the Dusk edition are my favorite.

I'd bolt the 2 supporting rods on.

Find a way to keep that center support and use double sided tape there, or replace it with another bolted support rod, you don't want it to sag there.

Find a way to bolt the sides to the car as well.

If you connect in all these spots, along with the two existing holes, you shouldn't have any problems.


You should be able to use a saw, or you might get by with a dremel. Maybe someone else who has more work with aluminum will chime in here.

I wouldn't think the ACS T5 would be too hard. Remove the raised sections and you have yourself an APR style splitter. That's what I thought would be the easiest. The Stillen would be similar, but would come with the additional conflicts of how to make/secure the side sections.

I plan on getting the ZL1 front bumper so that will solve my lip issue!
