Mustang GT Project

Looked the carbon splitter up and as you’ve guessed it’s fake carbon which looks quite cheap in the finish.

Hey there Alfa,
What sort of high speed was the splitter exposed too? Vmax?
I really like the look of (your) the PP2 extension, but am always afraid it will be left on the side of some highway in the outback, after I have run over it!
Are there physical screws or such, that hold it in place?
Enjoying your build. Keep up the good work!
Al.

Splitter looks great, now browsing the Maxton site considering one! They say you can add trim restorer to the splitter order, any idea what trim restorer is?

It's thin plastic piping that goes around the tip of the splitter to stop u bashing it.

You can buy trim protectors on Ebay, however the easiest one is to just use electritians tape (Well the hillbilly version), i whack leccy tape on my splitter for drag/track racing.

How rubbish when i spoke to them they'd told me it was a protection thing! Bit useless then.

Well I guess it might protect from the elements, dirt, etc but probably not going to guard against chips and scrapes

", with wide 3M tape and lots of fixings. "

I would assume the fixings; are bolts.

@SteveS appears so! They lead me to believe it was like the following (see the trim round the edge)
