Front Splitter/Winglets ***Price Update!****

***June 2010 update***
New thread over here guys!

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gaug...tml#post866260

********************

Me and a buddy made a set of these for my car. Laser cut, aluminum, 2mm. Just put them on tonight, and they look awesome! We were thinking of making a couple extra sets if anyone was interested.

***Feb 2010 update***
OK guys we have a couple of sets left and we have them at a new lower price of $80 plus shipping! A lot of guys wanted a set, so now is the time. Send me a PM.

-Tuan

***Oct 1st update***
Sorry for the long wait guys, but we finally have our first batch of splitters ready to go. We have 5 sets ready to be shipped. Price is going to be a flat rate of $110 shipped to your door. Send me a PM if you guys want one.

***Aug 10th update***
Ok guys so me and my friend finally got around to discussing everything today and we've decided this is what we'd go with for the sake of keeping the price low. Let me know what you guys think. We want to get everyone's feedback before we start.


-The price will be $100 plus shipping.
- We'll probably have around 5-6 sets ready to ship at the end of the month, and more after depending on how the first batch goes.
- Once again for the sake of keeping price low we've decided that the splitters will come unpainted, not drilled, and not include mounting hardware. (we've also decided not to drill the holes since not everyone is going to have a GD3 with the sport lip, this will make it more universal)
- We have plans to test fit a set on a GE8, so you GE8 guys sit tight!
- We can drill the holes, paint them, and include mounting hardware but the price will be higher.

Remember to let me know what you guys think, so we can produce some Splitters you guys will be happy with.

Thanks.

I was thinking around maybe $95, cause ARC makes some but theirs is made of ABS plastic and it sells for around $250 easy. Ours will be aluminum, so you know it'll hold up. If enough interest is generated we could possibly make different styles of fins. LMK what you guys think.

DAAYUUMMMM that is really great.
Such a good idea. Although I'm not sure about rockin' the ARC logo on them but hey, that's all whatever you wanna do.

I think they are a great idea, and you could probably make some nice money.

Damn, nice. If you plan on mass producing that, head over to YarisWorld and get a vendor status. That price will make 'em sell like hotcakes!

well i'm sure it would fit the ge8, you just gotta line it up.

GD3 Wagoon, we don't really have a price yet. I'm just throwing out a ballpark figure, once we get enough people interested i'll have something more solid. Thanks for starting a list!

color me impressed! Maybe if you followed the line of the front spoiler, sort of scalloped, it may look even better. I'm in once I get a little extra $$$

Is this just for looks, or is it 'sposed to do something?
If it's for better MPG's, count me in.

Yeah ill try to get some full front shots today or tomorrow guys.

dimpthepimp: yeah just some bolts and washers will hold it nice and secure.

md88232: it'd probably add a little downforce, but mainly i'd say for cosmetics.

Well the price isn't set in stone yet, its just a ballpark figure. It will however be around that price range.

If you guys could add yourself to that 'Interested' list up above that would make it a little easier to see who is all interested. Thanks guys!
