I found my receipt and I got the material from Plastic Works Inc in Calgary AB www.plasticworksinc.com and the product code is 01CH and the description is 3/16” Carbon Fibre ABS
How much was the ABS plastic and how thick did you use? I’ve not been able to find any. I thought about using aluminum like a big construction sign then copying how you made the spilitter.
Dude that was an awesome fabrication. I’m inspired because i currently own a 2005 Bentley GT that I am working on-body kit and suspension work-all on my own.
Any tips on where to find the best deals on pressed carbon fiber? I see some options on Amazon.. what do you recommend sorry if I missed that on the video.
Great job man I went cheap and bout eBay plastic splitter for my car and we’ll I cracked it coming onto a gas pump island I wanna make my own outta sheet metal but the stuff you used looks great! Where can you find that at?
I want to do this to my car, I have a Ford Fiesta SE. it doesn't have such a fancy front bumper, and has a rubber air dam underneath the bumper. Do you reckon I should build my splitter off the bottom of the air damn, so that I get the aero effects the splitter are supposed to bring?
@@HQGARAGE thanks for getting back to me! I appreciate your input! My plan in tandem with this is to also build an underplate for my car, starting at the level of the rubberized air dam, supported by equally long brackets. If I build it from that, I was thinking to use ABS and have it extend past the edge of the airdam. I mostly am curious of if the splitter would even be effective and do splitter stuff if I built it higher off the bumper. I know that'd look cleaner, too. I just don't know enough as to the aero effects of both. Thanks so much for your time, I appreciate you!
Great work! Looks really nice, and the fins add a lot to it. Only thing I would be worried about is that it is just mounted to the bumper, is it not a bit flappy, when you are going fast? Most ones I saw are much longer and even connected to the frame. How was your experience so far?
I did the same thing but mine flew off after going 50mph. Is it because the plastic was too thin or is it because the splitter is too big? I wish I could show you a picture.
Great work! Looks Amazing.. Hey I have a WRX front lip that I'm custome fitting on a different bumper, but the lip is wider than my bumper like 2.5". Where do I cut to shrink it and make it fit? Love your wk, Thx in Advance.
I would maybe cut it in 3rds and have the pieces and connect kind of like this one 3Pcs Universal Car Front Bumper Lip Chin Bumper Body Kits Splitter Diffuser for Honda for BMW for Benz Carbon Fiber Look/Black www.amazon.ca/dp/B07YNLNW6T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iVtNDbJGFQ6HG
Hey, I loved how your splitter turned out man. I've searched the internet and called around but wasn't able to find the material you used. I was hoping you could tell me where or how you found that material??
Hey, Thank you I appreciate that. I went to a local shop here and went to buy Black ABS plastic and they showed me the CF looking stuff. Let me see if I can get you a Part Number.
I found my receipt and I got the material from Plastic Works Inc in Calgary AB www.plasticworksinc.com and the product code is 01CH and the description is 3/16” Carbon Fibre ABS
@@HQGARAGE yeah thats what I'm going to do now. At first I was going to pay 500 to get it welded. The thing about bolts is I can't get my hand in there. Bolted won't go no where
Can you take the bumper off? Would that help? The other option would be to use a product like a Rivnut. It is like a Nut that is fastened into the bumper and the bolt threads into it.
@@HQGARAGE yeah I could do that again. I took it off once to switch out my grill but when I installed the lip I just jacked it up. Just iffy about taking it off again. The only thing is I had crooked 1st time the drilled next to it 2nd time now scared holes too close
@@HQGARAGE ok, cool. I guess it's not a item that you see often or need for that matter on a regular basis so in my mind I'm thinking, special order, ridiculous shipping, etc. It looks like a strong material unlike plexiglass that would break easily. Anyway, I subscribed to your channel for ideas like the one you shared. I bought a body kit for my MR2 Spyder that I'll start installing when this Florida heat and rain turns a little cooler in the fall. I want a splitter on it like the one you made. Was it 1/4" abs? Keep the creations coming and thank you for the video. I'll save it for a tutorial reference for my upcoming build project.
Nice job bro! Looks nice. I just wanna give my humble opinion. Could you have made it bigger so you can mount it to the chassis? Maybe it would have more stability.
Thanks Man and yes I agree it could have been extended to attach to the chassis for sure. I actually ended up trimming an inch off and cut the wings off and it was rock solid. It was also just for show and would fill the gap between the bumper and the ground when I aired out.
@@HQGARAGEIt definitely looks real good. Im gonna have to try to make one myself using your method. I have a cadillac ats coupe, and we basically have no aftermarket parts. Everyone buys the same ebay front splitter lol.
NICE STUFF! It appears everyone is having an issue finding this abs carbon sheet plate, especially for the price you paid. Can you provide the man and model of the sheet plate or a link to it? In the US, so naturally I'd have to find and equal. Thanks.
Nope 👎🏻 I ended up redoing the splitter after I got the bumper painted. I used bolts, washers and Nuts to secure it down. You can see what I did in this video ruclips.net/video/sZHFNpYbtUc/видео.html
Wouldn't it be easier to just move the bumper back 3" then trace the bumper without the block? Also what thickness ABS did you use? Thanks for making this video.
@@HQGARAGE If you just move the bumper back 3 inches and trace around it then you wont get the extra width and the little wings on the side. If you want it to look a less aggressive then this is what you would probably do and also you wont get the little side wings. Either way its a pretty nice mod that you can put your own custom finish on, I like it.
Don’t use self tappers, there is a bit of a later video where I talk about using bolts as the self tapers will just pull out. ruclips.net/video/sZHFNpYbtUc/видео.html
Great video! I'm looking to make one too. Where did you get the abs sheet with the carbon fiber and what's the thickness of the sheet? Keep up the good work! Thanks!!
Just Google plastic shops in Calgary and there are only a few. I won’t support or shout-out the shop anymore after the last interaction and them telling me to stop directing people from RUclips their way.
For anyone else that ever finds this in the future, do NOT EVER cut Carbon Fiber without wearing a respirator. Once cut the fiber dust are like tiny floating spears that once inhaled, get stuck in your lungs and they do NOT EVER COME OUT. Not trying to shame the video, as most people don't know this, but never ever do it like this please.
Looks very nice but this is purely cosmetic obviously right? There is no way any of those attachment points withstand actual forces generated at the speeds splitters are designed for.
Awesome video Jeff! Planing on making something similar for my is300 I'm building on my channel. Just curious where the carbon pressed abs sheet came from? Thanks for the DIY. Keep up all the great work!
Wow!! GREAT, easy to follow video. I've been wanting a front splitter for my Charger. But some of the prices out are ASTRONOMICAL for something with quality, and/or is not going to fly off after you hit 2nd gear. And for showing the ease of how you turn up the sides too? I'M DOING THIS (LOL). After viewing several of your other videos, you've just gained another subscriber. I look forward to seeing more of Vlogs, and video uploads. (Side note: What carbon material did you use for the splitter, by the way? Please?)
Thanks for subscribing and watching some of my videos. I truly appreciate that. The Carbon material is actually and ABS plastic that had a carbon Fiber imprint stamped into the plastic to give it the carbon look. I have been told it’s nearly impossible to find anywhere
Hello. Great job sir, looks like its an oem ///M Performance part! Quick question: how thick should the ABS Plastic be? And have you had any issues with breaking since installation. Thanks in advance!
Dude first of all that is so well done great job!!! it looks amazing! I am planning on doing this to my 2010 Roush Mustang. I have two questions. where did you get the material from and what do you finish sanding it down with for that smooth edge?
Thank you 🙏 I am about to drop another Vid like this on making one for my M3. I got the material from a local plastic shop here in Calgary and I just used an orbital sander with 320 grit sand paper

Do you have any suggestions on how to mount a splitter on a bumper that isn't flat...i.e. an 08 m35 bumper? My bumper curves up towards the front rather than sitting flat like most cars
You could trim out the shape bigger than what you need and then heat it up to form the shape or if you know or have access to a sheet metal brake you could shape it to fit. The other option would be to make it in pieces and then bolt or rivet it together
@@HQGARAGE Appreciate your help, if the rain ever let's up here in Texas that'll be my project next weekend. Your splitter came out perfect, did you even find the correct rods?
@@HQGARAGE I might end up doing the same, everyone in other videos say all the ebay rods are trash. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos man, keep em coming👌🏾 If you haven't already, you should do a rear diffuser how to
Thanks Man I appreciate that. I found my receipt and I got the material from Plastic Works Inc in Calgary AB www.plasticworksinc.com and the product code is 01CH and the description is 3/16” Carbon Fibre ABS
Splitters usually cover the whole inner area for better aero. Tuning for looks: Race. Inspired. Cosmetic. Enhancement. Whatever floats your boat I guess just don't go full ricer. That's like mounting a cold air intake with no turbo or induction system.
I would look into getting a sheet of Aluminum or a material called e-panel. APR I know makes Aluminum ones for the strength and durability but also very light

whats the best way to drill a hold in the abs plastic to put the splitter rods in? wouldn't the abs crack around the drill hole when drilling?
I just used a drill bit and never ever had a cracking issue and I can tell you the splitter has seen some major abuse.
You are a hero, man. Much respect 🙌
Thank you so much 🙏 I appreciate that.
I love it ! I can’t find any solid lips for my e60 and this looks perfect ! What was the thickness and size of the sheet itself
I used 3/16” for mine. Thank you for the comment 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you 🙏
Nice one bro... I can make spoiler with that leftover sheet as well

@@HQGARAGE Will do! Finally someone who made an easy to understand video. Where would you recommend I could get the carbon ABS that you went with?
I searched on google for a local Plastic Sheet company and started there. They were the ones that actually showed me the Carbon fiber looking stuff
What size sheet did you use and what was the thickness? Love how this came out looks awesome
2ft x 8 ft was the sheet size and it was 3/16” thick
Great work! Looks really nice, and the fins add a lot to it.
Only thing I would be worried about is that it is just mounted to the bumper, is it not a bit flappy, when you are going fast? Most ones I saw are much longer and even connected to the frame. How was your experience so far?
I didn’t have any issues to be honest. Being that it is for looks it’s been perfect
Looks very good. Was actually surprised, DIY lips does not normally look that good, looks like you ordered that from some company!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that 🙏🙏
Is this for mostly looks? Hopefully you got the rods and connected the splitter to a the chassis/Core support to support the splitter.
It is for looks, It fills the gap when the car is completely aired out.
I did the same thing but mine flew off after going 50mph. Is it because the plastic was too thin or is it because the splitter is too big? I wish I could show you a picture.
It was probably because it was too big. I ended up cutting mine down and also had to use bolts instead of self tapping screws.
so cool - arts and crafts for big boys!
This is what elementary school prepares you for 🙌🙌🙌🙌
What did you use to heat it up? Like you did on the fins? A torch or a heat gun?
Ya I used a heat gun to heat it up and make it bendable.

I have used 3/16” and 1/4” ABS plastic sheet and the 3/16 was easier to work with but the 1/4 seemed much stiffer.

Where did you order the big piece of carbon fiber plastic from? I really want to make one of these! You killed this video man!
Thanks Man I appreciate that.
I found my receipt and I got the material from Plastic Works Inc in Calgary AB www.plasticworksinc.com and the product code is 01CH and the description is 3/16” Carbon Fibre ABS
How much was it?
I believe it was $60ish dollars CDN
Wear did you get the plastic to make it?
I got it from a plastic supply place hear in Calgary.
@@HQGARAGE thanks for the reply
My pleasure 🙏
i have a BMW like yours and will make a splitter also. nice job. p.s. the bottom of your bumper would look better if it was black.
Sweet 👌 thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback 🙏🙏
Hey bro what’s the name of the material you used for the splitter? TIA
It’s called ABS plastic with Carbon Fiber impression.
Nice job bro!
Thanks Bro 🙏🙏
Splitters usually cover the whole inner area for better aero. Tuning for looks: Race. Inspired. Cosmetic. Enhancement. Whatever floats your boat I guess just don't go full ricer. That's like mounting a cold air intake with no turbo or induction system.
Nice job!
Thank you 🙏
Probably wont get a reply since this was posted 2years ago but where else can i get these abs sheets? Home depot maybe?
If you Google plastic sheet near you and give the shops near you a call they should carry it. That’s how I found it.
@@HQGARAGE oh God, thank you so much man 🙏🏻 hopefully i can build something as crazy awesome as yours 🔥🔥
I believe you absolutely can 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
good job man!
Thank you 🙏
I got a 2013 sonic hatchback that I'm putting money into and I want a fiberglass sheet or one that is not pressed. Any ideas?
I would look into getting a sheet of Aluminum or a material called e-panel. APR I know makes Aluminum ones for the strength and durability but also very light
