Make a custom Carbon Fiber/Rubber splitter for your AfterMarket bumpers

[Adon]

Lowered my car, and dislike bumper scrapes as you all do so I went to Home Depot and got a rubber garage door strip I cut it, and used 3M tape to stick it on. There is a few different ways to do this, and I did it my way. Pics below.

UPDATED PICTURES FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN THIS MOD

this is what you buy at home depot, it's a garage door liner that goes on the bottom of your garage door to soften the hit when your garage door hits the floor, so if you can't find it in the garage accessories section, ask a HD employee





this is the tape you buy at Lordco or Napa







And this is how you install it onto the bumper






and here's a picture from a few months ago the first day I installed it





and as you can see it survived being a snow plow through winter, so it's very tough and can definitely take a beating



and here it is now, you can see it sags slightly, but like I said I used it as a snow plow so a little has to give

[HenryLee]

[Triji]

Excellent idea, way to go!

[Kris79]

ohhh i am going to do this. can i get some snaps alittle farther back and in the sunlight

[Adon]

yea yea daytime pics from farther away are definitely coming tomorrow soon as I snap a few so you guys could have a better look....

for anybody wondering, it really looks good, it came out much better than I expected, it'll look 10 times better with the CF pieces I bet

[Adon]

ties in with your grille, bumper, and headlights nicely.

yea man, I guess that was the secondary +... I just wanted scraping protection. The CF pieces I got coming are for looks.. although it's gonna suck when I put them on and scrape the shiat outta them, I hope they last me a few months at least...

[escobar929]

looks great!

[O HELLA JDM]

sick sick...i might do this also...getting my nismo front end soon..hopefully itll be good too

[HenryLee]

Hey Adon,
Does that rubber splitter provide any protection for the bumper tho? seems kinda small and doesnt go back enough. But I gotta say the new pictures are making me become more interested in this mod..

Anyone do this on a kuruma Z bumper yet?

[Adon]

^ oh dude, it sticks out about an inch as you can see, but it's actually longer underneath the bumper, so yea the bumper is definitely protected. So aside from what you see it still covers about an inch and a half of the underbody of the bumper
