Any other plastic front splitter options besides stock?
The carbon looks nice and all, but it just gets destroyed on the street over time, and the roads around Seattle are far from friendly to low vehicles. Thoughts? Even mildly more aggressive would be nice.

I'm interested in the answer as well

Fiberglass is the answer. I just put on a cheap front splitter from C7 Carbon. I paid something like $250 for it and had it painted black. So far so good. I reamed out the holes on the bottom just lightly with my dremel tool so it sits a little farther back under the front bumper. Looks very slick. If it gets chipped up and scratched, it can be easily repaired. So far mine is perfect.

Yes comes in black primer. Needs a little work still but for the money it's a steal.

I like the look. :thumbs:

If you go with side skirts get fiberglass there as well. Front tire debris hammers them relentlessly and they sort of need yearly maintenance (filling/painting) to keep them looking good. Best to go with flat black trim paint so you don't get into much of a hassle and can do quick touch ups with a rattle can.

But, for me, Bill's Flat Black seems to be the best fix. The Flat Black has worked well over the years for me.:salute::salute: |

Bill On that topic, is apsis still the only game in town to buy Splash guards from? |

Hahaha.. oh man that is awful. I wish one of the vendors would address this. There are a lot of carbon options, which are functional and great, but they're just not practical for those of us who rack up the miles. There needs to be some kind of plastic option. Even then, I replaced mine twice in 20k miles. I was glad it was plastic!

I was actually thinking flat black for that reason. Does anyone have a pic of a rattle can splitter in flat black?
