So you have messed up your front splitter / or want to keep it pristine? Try this

[AWE350ME]

Only took me a year to figure this out.

After another encounter with splitter to the pavement, this time uneven pavement in a construction zone, looked at the replacement cost of a new R front splitter and yikes! so I decided to take action, below are some shots of edge trim applied to the front splitter.

Actually looks like it belongs! The edge trim is from Canadian Tire, unfortunately, it came in gloss black so I bought some flat black vinyl spray paint and sprayed the trim its not a bad match to the splitter. The edge trim came with bead adhesive already in the trim, I used a heat gun to heat up the trim and adhesive, makes the install easier with the trim more flexible. I worked my way around the splitter a few inches at a time keeping my working edge hot. Let me know what you think. Pictures of bruised splitter can be found in the Ruby Red Forum.

Looks good to me. Easy fix if you accidently lightly roll into a too-tall curb.

That does look good. But when i had both my GT 350's it wasn't the edge that always scraped but on the corners underneath where they set a little lower.

Not bad looking at all. I wonder if or how PPF would stick to the spoiler as I was going to go that route.

ZL1 splitter guards help with the underside accidents, this takes care of the unsightly scrapes that happen when approach angle is not correct on driveways with steep tall curbs. Those seem to be my biggest boo boos.

Not sure it would work. I did inquire about wrapping the splitter when I had the car wrpped and the detailer recommended against it.

A bit off topic but who wrapped your car, what parts did you wrap, and cost? I'm assuming they did a good job ?

Car was wrapped by APShield https://apshield.ca/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6Kf2k7Tl4gIVlZOzCh2WOgO4EAAYASAAEgLMfvD_BwE
The entire car was wrapped, everything except textured plastic. It's was $4,500.00ish. The work is impeccable. Suntek Ultra PPF laser cut, all edges wrapped around and tucked. Only two seams on the front bumper but you have to really look for them to see them. He posted video of the wrap session on Instagram and can be seen here Pictures of the car are posted in the Ruby Red forum.

Same here. I use sand paper to remove the little plastic rough fraying that occurs

Love your car but that strip looks too gay. Like the Hellcat owners running the yellow shipping splitter edge protectors. Really? Pfffft. Not to mention it could whip off at the speeds and turbulents I travel. I'd rather just man up and replace the splitter if it came to that. Fortunately I know how to drive the thing and how to park it.

Thanks for your comments. It’s a good thing I am off to TrackAttack this summer. I will be ordering a new splitter, after I pay for my third set of track tires for this thing. I am on a budget and do occasionally like to eat and pay my other bills

Perhaps white would be a better choice, I think it would stand out a little more. Besides who wants to look like a Hellcat?
