Saw an ad in the latest import tuner magazine for a product called Wraptivo, made by Meguires. It said it's available at Walmart so i went and looked in 3 different walmarts and didn't find any. Called Meguires customer care and he told me only select walmarts will have it. Went to the one he suggested and found the product. (This was a product I needed to see in person before I bought it.)

Next I went to home depot on a hunt. The goal was to find something long, thin, and preferably plastic. After browsing most of the aisles, i came across some gutters. I thought to myself, hmmmmm, this might work. Easy to cut, long enough, had a rolled edge, and was only $5!! haha So I grabbed one and went to stuff it in the TL.

When i returned home, i went to work with my idea and it was so easy. The wraptivo was nice to work with. Cleaned the bottom of the sideskirts and stuck some double sided tape all along the customer splitter.

Took some photos earlier when she was wet. Enjoy!

 

Eric!

 

Wow nice! Def compliments the other diffusers etc!

 

looks okay. what's the point?

 

Probably the reason people do the lawn trim front lips. It just adds more depth to the car.

 

Fishbreath, because; Race car.

 

I think I have seen some of that stuff at Advance Auto. It looks really good!!

 

I bet it would protect your side skirts against the curbs of the world! looks good, really goes well with the rest of your carbon fiber.

 

o HAI!

Thanks!

Thanks. What do you mean?


lol.

Yeah they might have it. Thanks man!

 

Meguiars. Tough to spell out, I know.

 

i guess i just don't understand the purpose. just aesthetics?

 

The drivers side one is messed up already from a tow truck drivers error. The splitter will help it stay on now. I never bothered to have it fixed.

Damn i messed that up. lol. Meguiars. Meguiars. Meguiars. Got it now haha

 

Oh ok you are trying to figure what the fuck is the purpose of making something like this on my Acura TL. hahahaha.

The purpose is for moar downforce at high speeds. I don't really know if these will work or not on this car, but i've seen quite a few cars that have side splitters. The problem I had is no companies make hardly anything for this car, so i had to come up with it on my own.

And it could also be for aesthetics. I personally love aero mods on certain cars, and others might not care for it. On my car, i feel like the arc winglets and the varis vortex generators are now connected with the addition of this modification.

Does this answer your question?

 

got it!

 

I actually like it, since you have all the other aero mods done it flows nicely and matches.

 

^ I actually couldnt tell what was added.

 

The black piece under the side skirts...right...?

 

Cool, glad i could answer.

Thanks!

lol i guess i didn't exactly say what it was that i made.




*For people that might not be familiar with the car, the piece that we're talking about it is the lip that's running under the side skirt. They call it a side splitter.

 

hahah noobie

 

Hey I got it right

 

^i thought it was the roof rack

 

God damn, it's hard being under 22 on this forum.

 

Aaron it serves the same purpose as your fake rear Brembos

 

I should have turned my uber kewl puddle lights on for the puddle shot.

 

 

in that case, eric...are you pulling in any more tail with these splitters?

bc my life has changed drastically ever since i installed my rear brake caliper covers.

 

Not bad. I don't see how it'll help with aerodynamics at all, but I think it looks good.

 

 

I like the addition and it really does flow well with the rest of the aero mods that you have

I have been looking for some side splitters as well. It is great to see the ingenuity that takes place on Acurazine.

 

damn this forum moves quickly these days! Been lurking this photo gallery since 2004 and it's the fastest EVAR right now.

Tee Ells ftmfw!

 

You can thank Undying Dreams for being a PW.

 

I've got moar pics that i took that have just been uploaded. Bout to post them..

 

Here is the ad that started the whole idea.

 

Whole car looks great man, I'd like to see a comparison in CF weave between 3M and Meguiar's.

 

looks good eric! i think it makes everything flow alot better than before

 

Thanks man. My friend has the 3M stuff and i think hes coming down this weekend so im gonna look at his and compare. Probably will take a photo of the two side by side.

Thanks Ravin! I swear i saw your TL on monday in Concord. Was that you?!

 

yeah man i was there for the night on business. i was parked at the mall while we scouted some locations for a project i have coming up.

 

oh ok cool, i was like damn that had to have been Ravin. I was in the lexus stopped at the light by the chickfila, and you were turning right heading towards 85. Do work son!

 

I am going to make a trip to home depot sometime this week because of you.....

 

Looks good. Brings together the pieces you have on the front and rear now. Is just as thick as 3M dinoc?
