My cheap knock off aero is really starting to piss me off in terms of breaking if you just looked at it wrong, so replacement aero is inevitable.

Yea Josh, how do u do it? my front aero lasted me a week before i left a piece of it going into a gas station ....

Apparently with one of those you can run over cones all crazy and nothing happens.

Yeah I have, but that requires doing work.

Much easier just putting a new front bumper on and not having to worry about it breaking.

1. Buy some mdf from home depot
2. Cut into shape of splitter
3. Mount and let bumper sit on top of said mdf splitter
4. Hit cones , baby carriages, other vehicles with it
5. Make silly name like Texas splitter

i have no experience with S.S but Vertex aero holds up awesome. I've slapped nasty holes going highway speeds and shit hasn't even made holes

I got too close to a curb and it just barely cracked, its all in tact

You could use plywood for a splitter material to lol

INVSBL · 09-22-2011, 09:24 PM

fuck that, papermached cardboard

Must use Home Depot plywood for true "Texas Splitter".

:P

REVGASM · 09-23-2011, 11:09 AM

Shine aero is by far the best i've used so far. (Origin, V/S, BN). Definitely held up best, smaking rocks, hitting curbs going up drive ways every single place i went. Definitely best fitment as well. I ran over my side skirt once and it barely cracked the front portion of it.

Of course after time my front bumper split at the bottom, but even still holds together. I suppose the best thing about the aero is CHUNKS DONT go missing so it's extremely easy to fiber glass it back together.

But dont go buy it, cuz Sexy Style is ugly as fuck

shitty gas station pic

or use it as a ladder to take sweetass pics of the engine bay. TX FTW

Matej · 09-23-2011, 03:29 PM

If one mounts aero with zipties exclusively or employs other some such method which yields an equivalent or greater amount of elasticity, the fiberglass will not crack or break when ground contact is established.

SoSideways · 09-23-2011, 05:20 PM

^^ My front bumper is attached via zipties by the fenders, and is just resting on the piece that goes between the headlights to keep the middle of the bumper from sagging, and at the time, that piece wasn't even fully bolted on. The bolts were loose to allow movement on that plate.

Anyway, going up the driveway, didn't go on the right angle, even though I was sideways up it, ended up cracking a huge chunk off the corner of the bumper, and cracked my fender.

It's like that on both sides now, really fucking stupid.

Didn't have this problem with the stock chuki bumper + SE lip and lower.

That's why I want to go back to OEM spec bumpers and stuff, so things don't explode for no reason.

MrFairlady · 09-23-2011, 06:09 PM

I modified the OEM Side Brackets and Use the center OEM bracket on my V/S bumper Lowered the car down on 2 floor jacks and heard an AMAZING at the bumper - but not once single Crack.
V/S has been pretty damn good to me. Vertex has been the best I've delt with.BN sports I hear is like OEM. S14 will be seeing alot of that

jay70 · 09-23-2011, 06:59 PM

dont know why you took the camber out of the front dude. more camber in the rear than the front is fuckin stupid

This is my car. Sorry for photo sizes. Dunno how to re-size. And yes it's not low (stock suspension actually). Got Tein Super Streets and Cusco camber tops to go in soon. And yes wheels fail - Enkei RS01. I want bronze Work XT7's if they come in 4 lug. OR get those 4-to-5 lug hubs..... Especially when our dollar is so good against yours!! Hehe.

Pretty stock too got Apexi metal intake pipe and pod filter. Bosch 040 fuel pump. GK tech split 3" dump into stock front pipe (yep gay but for inspection centre and has been left on there) into 3" cat-back system into restrictive muffler (again for inspection centre) Will be changing these to full 3" system and twin 'shotgun' pipes in 2.5" or 3" out the rear.
