looks good! Just be REALLY careful pulling out of driveways. I love my 6LE splitter as it really takes all the scratches that I'd have under my nose....and it just bends and then bends back. Just be careful so yours doesn't crack.

i like it thicker.. the only thing i wish is it was molded into the bumper like all the ahem... production splitters out there... instead of just handing in front.

its amazing that you can do that all yourself... congrats very skilled you are.

now... are you ever gonna market those blackout eyes???

Looks great! Since you are good with glass though I personally would have brought the sides up to the bumper like canards.

My splitters don't have that because they are just waterjet cut...

However, for those mentioning thicker and for you mentioning the edge, we offer them in 1/2" ABS (twice as thick as the normal ones) and also have an option to bevel the edges...





Definitely be VERY CAREFUL with driveways. Another reason I did ABS was to simply protect the bumper from scrapes (and scrape this thing I do )

Why not just mold it into your bumper though and have a Dick Harrell style bumper?

That's what I'm gonna try next and use this splitter to mold another to make a Dick Harrell style bumper. I am looking for a cheap one locally, if not I just may ebay one to my house and use that. I think that will be my end of summer project. This was just a first attempt to see how it would turn out.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!!
