^^ Also curious to see how it looks after you scrape once. That is if its still attached to the car. Looks good though, goes with your car perfectly

yea theres a few different compounds you can get, some of those guys went with the soft rubber, some with hard some with extra hard... I got the medium rubber one and from the feel of it, I highly doubt it would curl up, unless it's exposed to like 40 degree heat day in and day out..

Deftronix, yea I dont think I'll have to wait long to find out

DIY ? I don't think you really need one, it's really straight forward probably like a 2 step process.

-Apply 3M tape on stretched roll of strip
-Apply strip carefully to underside of bumper

it's that simple

i added some industrial addhesive between the 3M double sided tape and garage liner to make sure there is not way to get off..and making sure the cuts on the sides are clean...thats pretty much it...but if i do another persons car ill take pics

^ damn, thats hardcore it'll definitely stick. Yea good idea take some pictures on your next install to show us. When I did mine I knew winter was coming and that I was gonna putting a new strip on after the snow cleared so I have a fresh one for summer. But that 3M tape I got from Lordco is still really sticks and I dread the day I have to get down there and take it all off.

This is a sick mod. Saw this on G35pinoy's car yesterday. Very clean looking. The title of this thread is rather humorous though "carbon fiber/rubber splitter" lol
