DIY $20 side splitter!

[@TeddyGyro]

I don't see why people are hating on this. This looks better than some $200 splitters out there. Definitely gonna do this to my car later on

[@TheJMedia]

Thanks man I appreciate it! I've had it on the car for over a year and still holding strong!

[@nelsoncarino7218]

The J Media Can U Tell Me What Kind Of Material Did U Used Please!!!

[@franchisefred4066]

Cause it looks cheesy 😂

[@TheJMedia]

Quick update to everyone! It has been almost 2 years and the side splitter is still good on my car. Never had problems in rain or coming off when driving.

[@johnnycashh7148]

Where do you order the wrap from?

[@lowlifesrt4828]

What’s carbon wrap is that 3D or 5D

[@TheJMedia]

5d gloss carbon fiber wrap

[@lowlifesrt4828]

Thanks bro looks bad ass 🤙🏼

[@humblefam6462]

Regardless of what any of us says, this is an affordable and simple DIY for those that want that look without spending a few hundred bucks on real splitters. Seems less labor-intensive than most other DIY ideas too. If you're happy with the results, then good for you. They look clean imho and it seems you used the right material so as to avoid water/moisture damage. Nice work!

[@bondoman2k]

For the record..they sell these same base moldings at most Home Depots too (I did find one here that doesn't carry them). Lots of guys say to use abs..ok, maybe so but those take longer, and are actually even more work. And trust me, I'm an ASE certied collision tech and I can guarantee you being these are made of polystyrene, they are just as strong as the rocker moldings themselves. Now if I was doing a 'legitimate' front splitter and want a lighter version of side splitters, abs sheet cut to fit would be the way to go. BUT this is supposed to be a low buck answer than can be done fairly quickly, and it IS! Great job btw. Gonna start on mine tomorrow (for a Mini Cooper Clubman wagon). ;)

[@tonydavila2606]

Try it with abs plastic sheets. They sell them at home depo. A lot stronger. Some people use them for custom front splitters and rear splitters for time attack cars. Since the variety of cars are so big its hard to find actual splitters for not so aftermarket heavy cars. a customer of mine, as a 2012 base model Ford Focus, 5-speed that he boosted and build for time attack and you can find a lot of aftermarket parts for the St, but nothing really for the four-door sedan 5 speed,. Custom made him a splitter, diffuser and side skirts.

[@TheJMedia]

Thanks for the info man! Great to know that you can find materials at Home Depot to custom fab stuff!

[@lifebeingpoor1442]

Looks awesome bro! But why didn’t you cut it before wrapping? And did you end up painting the edges black? Thanks

[@TheJMedia]

Thank you I appreciate it! Yea I should have cut it first before wrapping haha. Either way works good! As for painting the edges black, I did it so that you wouldn't be able to see the white material from the sides after you mount them on the car

[@szabolcskatai7659]

Awsome video! Just bought some pvc window trims one side is rounded looks like a perfect fit. Just need to cut and wrap! 👍

That's awesome! Good luck with your project! I've had mine on the car for 3 years and still holding on good

[@highdeserturbanhomestead]

Thanks for the vid. You probably already answered this, but curious how you finished the ends? Did you wrap the ends as well or painted? This would be the area I'd assume could come undone over time. LMK.

[@TheJMedia]

You're welcome! Yes I had the ends spray painted black. Ends of the wrap actually stayed on for many years

[@iivv_nn]

What is that you used? I can't find it. Like door molding? Anyway, looks cool.

[@effewegugal3382]

I agree for the most part. I think diy accessories are the way to go if you have any skill at all. Just look at any Ring Brothers vehicle. They are all complete redesigns of the original then custom built, so what's the difference? There isn't one. Where I disagree is on the carbon fiber wrap. I think carbon fiber looks great. I think carbon fiber wrap is like wearing a Harley Davidson bandana and vest while you ride your scooter around town. The whole point of carbon fiber is that it's light and incredibly strong for it's weight. Using carbon fiber parts on your vehicle makes a statement that you are trying to achieve the best possible performance from your car, the way it looks is a good side benefit of the investment. These splitters would have still looked awesome in semigloss black. Leave the carbon fiber look for the people that are willing to pay for it. These splitters are great, carbon fiber wrap...RICE.
