I like the look of it, especially on the new GT-R. It's said to increase down force on the front wheels as well as channeling air into the radiator. Does it make that much difference or it mainly for look? What do u guys think? Having these on FWD isn't as rice as having big wings or is it? pushing down on the front of a FWD isn't really beneficial since we're just making the weight distribution worse? Thanks

The splitter for the Altima Coupe is finished, and should be available soon. Look for photos soon.

Im actually looking at a carbon fiber splitter to go under my 07 sedan just as like a cosmetic. Still wondering/debating if it will look good or not but keep us posted if you do it

Along with a few more stickers .... wasn't it about 4-5 HP per sticker?

that's only 4-5 HP, I'm thinking about racing stripes, that would be at least 20 HP

Will these be able to be installed on the Stillen front fascia or the Stillen lip spoiler or both? And of course, the all mighty question...will it be available ina Group Buy!!!

These pieces do have to be crafted out of urethane specific to the body lines that they are being installed upon, so for now it will just be the OEM bumper.

We have talked about our own lip spoiler and front fascia, but they have not hit the modeling shop as of yet..

We are having a altima sedan in next week, so for you sedan guys, we're not ignoring you, things are in the works..

I was wondering if we need to use the turnbuckles and drill holes in the bumper?

Looks good to me... is there a way to mount without installing the adjustment rods on the front?

The splitters do come with the turnbuckles.. but they are a secondary attachment, and can be run without them. The tape used to hold the splitter is the same for all of our body kits.. which is some mean stuff..

I personally like the look, it adds a definite flare.. but they are not attached before shipping, so you're free to customize like you'd like it..

Man,..If I still had the OEM front fascia, I'd get this splitter and put like 10 of those turnbuckles to make my ride look LOL

We have absolutely talked about it.. but it was designed to incorporate a little lip.. definite possibility.. but we would have to start in the rendering department first, and see what makes sense..

It hasn't been designed yet, but is one of our quicker items to run through the modeling shop, and we've done the coupe.. it's similar, but I can't estimate a firm timeline at this point..

Yes.. sedan is long overdue.. in much of not having the vehicle.. we have one for a small stretch next week.. should be some good R&D time.. not sure exactly all they can/will do in that timeframe.. but it's definitely on..

That's good hear Josh, thought you guys forgot about sedans. Sorry to digress from the splitter, I was looking at your sedan roof wing part # 108355 but there was no pictures attached. Do you by any chance have any pix of that? thx.

the mold has to be finalized before we can finalize pricing.. and with some of the more elaborate pieces we have been doing, which holds true to this splitter.. it's not as easy to simply grab a previous piece and base it on that..

the good news is the splitter has some definite styling cues that are unique, and should hopefully appeal to you guys..

that being said, the pricing should be similar to the more recent pieces we have finished...
