4G TL RonJon 6-piece Splitter kit ** updated design, pg. 3 **
#122
I might sound like an indecisive first date right about now, but I am considering just going with a 3 piece wrap around front lip, 2 piece rear and splitter style side skirts. working on a final design now that incorporates design A with the other elements I mentioned. The 3 piece front lip will make fitment as good as can be with adjustments possible. It will also help a ton with the shipping cost and with the production costs. Concept pics coming tonight hopefully then we will schedule the car to be brought into the booth for the first measuring session.

I ned to make a few measurements and a take a look at the car's front and side bumpers in person. I might have some help from an experienced fabricator to build the prototype out of foam and clay in NY then send out the prototype to CA for the mold building.
I just need a local with a 4G TL to mock up a design out of foam. Consider it a mini meet. I'll bring the beer and sandwiches or pizza!!

the previous lip/skirt combination worked well together. the latest front lip I believe is the overall winner. however, the combination of the previous skirts with the latest lip does not work well together.

Hey Rondog The side skirts look better this way,it looks like the car is ready to take flight. The other skirts looked ok but they had that gap between the skirt and the door. this is a sharper look and compliments the car.

Setting up a donor car as we speak, ordering the materials and scheduling in the booth time. I believe we will be making it in CA since the design is pretty much nailed. Before I was unsure, but this is the best concept out of them all. We should be ready to rock in a 3-4 weeks with plenty of progress shots. I'll be creating a new thread to post progress and take preorders. Now the only thing to figure is whether it should be abs plastic or polyurethane. Urethane is more expensive but alot more forgiving with durability and fit.

WOW.
I wasn't feeling the initial side skirts, but you really nailed it with this front/side combo. Can't wait to see what you do with the rear-end.
Just curious though, are you trying to make it so that this kit can be put on without drilling? I was reading through the posts but I couldn't really draw the answer to this question. If so, I think that makes it so much more appealing to me(and several others I'm sure).
Great work! Please do keep us updated with each step, I read through each post of this thread.

Thats what I'm thinking, I mean it's not going to be a HUGE difference, but I'll post prices on both after we are well into the prototype, then we will decide, because I could end up changing my mind back and forth a ton of times, lol. Poly would end up costing similar to what the CL kit costs, around $1080 for the lip kit, while ABS might end up being more similar to the cost of the Accord kit, which is $800 or so. We will also be working on some ABS materials like a replica Carbon fiber, and a prepped and primed version, so there are advantages and disadvantages to each.

Rondy, this looks terrific! Finally, a front spoiler kit that actually wraps around the front!....what a concept. I think it puts the Aspec front spoiler to shame.
