Default Ebay/Ikon Front Splitter

Anyone have any comments about either of these? Im more interested in the "STI Style" one than the "CS Style" but the STI style one is shown with a LT front end, so im curious if itll fit the LS front end nice. Looking to order today and take advantage of Ebays 15% off for the day.

Just got dropped off. Not off to a good start, the lip was twisted in the box. Who ever boxed it must have just been having a bad day, there is plenty of room in the box for it to sit normal.



Heres what it looked like out of the box. It is a very formable material, so i think itll be okay to be flattened out.





Threw some rotors on top, going to let it sit for a day or 2 like this.

Mmmm I would say something and see what they would do to try and fix this issue. That’s poor packaging.

I would think letting it sit out in the sun getting some heat would allow it to lay back down just fine. I ordered a Ikon splitter a few months ago and it didn't even come in a box, just came wrapped in plastic/bubble wrap. Still have not installed it...

Agreed. I really wanted a simple lip like this one.

I dont have any pics, and ive already pawned it off to my buddy with a LT1 car. Fitment on the LT1 bumper is great. Im pretty sure they are just advertising it wrong. It should say its for 93-97. It fits the LT1 front bumper pretty much as perfect as a flexible lip can.

The one they sold was literally a cut section of flat plastic. You can get a large section of the same plastic and make it yourself or possibly find someplace near you with a waterjet cutter to do it.

Ive been wanting to make one out of aluminum for some time now. it seems simple enough. It would be easier if I knew someone who had the lip so I could just copy it but shouldn't be too bad.
