CF Front Splitter on AW? Opinions or Pics

babino · 08-29-2006, 10:01 PM

I'm having a couple OEM parts installed on my car tomorrow and one of those parts is the Carbon Fiber front splitter. I've seen a couple pics and liked it enough to order them. I'm not necessarily having second thoughts, just curious to everyone's opinions.

Here is a link to a page with some pics of the CF on AW:

I personally think it adds a little sportiness to the car. How do you see it? I'm also having the rear color matched spoiler installed in case that helps everyone envision the end result + 50% front 35% rear tint.

Thanks for your opinions.

Is that the OEM splitter add-on on the AC CF add-on? It definitely looks different from stock.. I'm not sure what to expect now.

aapriadi · 08-29-2006, 10:48 PM

eerr i believe there's no acs cf add-on..thats the oem cf splitters

babino · 08-29-2006, 10:53 PM

Ok, thanks.

Can these be color matched? Any pics of the OEM splitters in AW?

i think from the link you have you'll find color-matched oem splitters in aw
if not search for marcus, his car has it and it looks awesome! cf on aw, color matched or not, looks gorgeous!

babino · 08-29-2006, 11:03 PM

Yep, just found that pic. Thanks!

i was against it... but it looks diff... I don't think it looks bad... it's different, but not bad! it's kinda interesting... b/c i can't take my eyes off of it!!

i vote 50/50.

Caster · 08-29-2006, 11:39 PM

It looks better color matched, I saw it on someones car. Its very similar to the Hartge front lip...

ALPINE6SPD · 08-30-2006, 11:57 AM

Im not crazy about it unpainted

ShinBalNom · 08-30-2006, 12:24 PM

as a AW owner, I'd say get it painted.

SE3P_to_E90 · 08-30-2006, 12:29 PM

i know that macboi had his painted. Looks real good. But maybe if someone decided to skunk out their car, then this would look sick!

i like painted too when there's no other black accents on the car, but it still looks good imo.

Here's mine...

Looks clean, nice ride!

Babino I think HRC's ride is enough evidence to see that you should get them painted

shragon · 08-30-2006, 01:50 PM

i think they look better color matched on light color cars.

i agree to this

or get it painted black.

i personally dislike CF.

but its your car! do what you wish

babino · 08-30-2006, 11:51 PM

Can they be painted after installation? In case I don't like the look after install that is. I'd at least like to see them on the car before I change my mind. Thanks for the comments!

hamo26 · 08-31-2006, 08:37 PM

heres mine, i was wondering if i should take my eyelids off. should i?

babino · 08-31-2006, 11:43 PM

Nice pics!

It was too late for me to change my mind, but after seeing them on the car I was pleased. I'll be out for the weekend but will post pics once I get back and can wash the car (got tint too so I can't wash it for a couple days).

Thanks for all the feedback!
