I searched on google for a local Plastic Sheet company and started there. They were the ones that actually showed me the Carbon fiber looking stuff
This was a sick video! Great work

Awesome video Jeff! Planing on making something similar for my is300 I'm building on my channel. Just curious where the carbon pressed abs sheet came from? Thanks for the DIY. Keep up all the great work!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate the kind words. I purchased the abs sheet from a local plastic company here in town called plastic works
plasticworksinc.com

Been waiting for a video like this bro I had the same idea in my head to make one keep up the great content 👍❤️
Thanks Bro, such an easy and in expensive modification.
Great work! Looks Amazing.. Hey I have a WRX front lip that I'm custome fitting on a different bumper, but the lip is wider than my bumper like 2.5". Where do I cut to shrink it and make it fit? Love your wk, Thx in Advance.
I would maybe cut it in 3rds and have the pieces and connect kind of like this one 3Pcs Universal Car Front Bumper Lip Chin Bumper Body Kits Splitter Diffuser for Honda for BMW for Benz Carbon Fiber Look/Black www.amazon.ca/dp/B07YNLNW6T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iVtNDbJGFQ6HG
Wow nice i would buy one for my F30
Thank you, they are definitely easy enough to make.
😍😍😍 dammmmmnnnn that looks aggressive brother 😍 its going to look awesome with those rods 😁
Thanks Brotha, hopefully I can find the longer ones. I’m have a heck of a time so far
@@HQGARAGE i can imagine that feeling 😁
Nice job bro!
Thanks Bro 🙏🙏
it look great
Thank you 🙏
Great Video!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Nice job!
Thank you 🙏
I love it ! I can’t find any solid lips for my e60 and this looks perfect ! What was the thickness and size of the sheet itself
I used 3/16” for mine. Thank you for the comment 🙏🙏🙏
That came out HeLLa NiCe bR0 ~*
Cheers 🍻 Thank you 🙏
What size sheet did you use and what was the thickness? Love how this came out looks awesome
2ft x 8 ft was the sheet size and it was 3/16” thick
Brilliant
Nice one bro... I can make spoiler with that leftover sheet as well
Cheers 🍻
Looks very good. Was actually surprised, DIY lips does not normally look that good, looks like you ordered that from some company!
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that 🙏🙏
Dude first of all that is so well done great job!!! it looks amazing! I am planning on doing this to my 2010 Roush Mustang. I have two questions. where did you get the material from and what do you finish sanding it down with for that smooth edge?
Thank you 🙏 I am about to drop another Vid like this on making one for my M3. I got the material from a local plastic shop here in Calgary and I just used an orbital sander with 320 grit sand paper
@@HQGARAGE I’m just gonna have you make mine haha 😂 send you design idea soon !!
How much was the ABS plastic and how thick did you use?
I’ve not been able to find any. I thought about using aluminum like a big construction sign then copying how you made the spilitter.
Great work! Looks really nice, and the fins add a lot to it.
Only thing I would be worried about is that it is just mounted to the bumper, is it not a bit flappy, when you are going fast? Most ones I saw are much longer and even connected to the frame. How was your experience so far?
I didn’t have any issues to be honest. Being that it is for looks it’s been perfect
nice job
Thank you 🙏
Wow!! GREAT, easy to follow video. I've been wanting a front splitter for my Charger. But some of the prices out are ASTRONOMICAL for something with quality, and/or is not going to fly off after you hit 2nd gear. And for showing the ease of how you turn up the sides too? I'M DOING THIS (LOL). After viewing several of your other videos, you've just gained another subscriber. I look forward to seeing more of Vlogs, and video uploads. (Side note: What carbon material did you use for the splitter, by the way? Please?)
Thanks for subscribing and watching some of my videos. I truly appreciate that. The Carbon material is actually and ABS plastic that had a carbon Fiber imprint stamped into the plastic to give it the carbon look. I have been told it’s nearly impossible to find anywhere
@@HQGARAGE Some aluminum from Home Depot, and a carbon fiber wrap it'll be then LOL. Thanks again for your reply. Much appreciated :)
badass.
Cheers 🍻
Where did you get he carbon sheet and abs ?
Is this for mostly looks? Hopefully you got the rods and connected the splitter to a the chassis/Core support to support the splitter.
It is for looks, It fills the gap when the car is completely aired out.
Hello I think you did a great job!! 👍👍👍 Can you make one for me for my 2022 dodge challenger, scat pack wide body ?? Ill pay you
Great video! I'm looking to make one too. Where did you get the abs sheet with the carbon fiber and what's the thickness of the sheet? Keep up the good work! Thanks!!
Thank you 🙏 I got it from a local plastic shop here in Calgary. It was 3/16” thick. Thanks for the kind words.
Would love to know the name of the shop. In Alberta also and wanna make a splitter for my srt10.
Just Google plastic shops in Calgary and there are only a few. I won’t support or shout-out the shop anymore after the last interaction and them telling me to stop directing people from CZcams their way.
Much respect!
Cheers 🍻
@@HQGARAGE will this save gas mileage?
Nope, won’t save gas ⛽️ at all
@@HQGARAGE does it give you stability?
It does increase downforce on the front tires
Where’d you get the plastic sheet at?
At 6.00 mark, what does that thing called?
thanks for the video quick question where did you get the abs plastic?
Thanks for watching, I got is from a local plastic supplier here in Calgary Ab
Ware u get the plastic sheet?
Amazing
Thanks 🙏
Wow man this is amazing, would you be able to make one for my Range Rover if i paid you for it
I think we could definitely work something out 👍
Any tips on where to find the best deals on pressed carbon fiber? I see some options on Amazon.. what do you recommend sorry if I missed that on the video.
The company I used has asked that I stop sending them people looking for it. So at the moment I do not.
Dude you are freakin awesome
Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that
HQ_BMW of course man! I’d pay you to do this to my car you’re super talented
Great job man I went cheap and bout eBay plastic splitter for my car and we’ll I cracked it coming onto a gas pump island I wanna make my own outta sheet metal but the stuff you used looks great! Where can you find that at?
Thank you 🙏 I just googled ABS Plastic near me on Google and found a local plastic supply company
Nice job ! Where did you get the carbon fiber stamped abs sheet?
From a local plastic shop
whats the best way to drill a hold in the abs plastic to put the splitter rods in? wouldn't the abs crack around the drill hole when drilling?
I just used a drill bit and never ever had a cracking issue and I can tell you the splitter has seen some major abuse.
Awesome
Thanks 🙏🙏
Hey, I loved how your splitter turned out man. I've searched the internet and called around but wasn't able to find the material you used. I was hoping you could tell me where or how you found that material??
Hey, Thank you I appreciate that. I went to a local shop here and went to buy Black ABS plastic and they showed me the CF looking stuff. Let me see if I can get you a Part Number.
I'm interested as well
@@HQGARAGE I'm interested as well
I found my receipt and I got the material from Plastic Works Inc in Calgary AB www.plasticworksinc.com and the product code is 01CH and the description is 3/16” Carbon Fibre ABS
I want to do this to my car, I have a Ford Fiesta SE. it doesn't have such a fancy front bumper, and has a rubber air dam underneath the bumper.
Do you reckon I should build my splitter off the bottom of the air damn, so that I get the aero effects the splitter are supposed to bring?
I would do it on the bottom of the bumper. I don’t think the air dam would be strong enough to support the Splitter.
@@HQGARAGE thanks for getting back to me! I appreciate your input!
My plan in tandem with this is to also build an underplate for my car, starting at the level of the rubberized air dam, supported by equally long brackets. If I build it from that, I was thinking to use ABS and have it extend past the edge of the airdam.
I mostly am curious of if the splitter would even be effective and do splitter stuff if I built it higher off the bumper. I know that'd look cleaner, too. I just don't know enough as to the aero effects of both.
Thanks so much for your time, I appreciate you!
Nice job bro! Looks nice. I just wanna give my humble opinion. Could you have made it bigger so you can mount it to the chassis? Maybe it would have more stability.
Thanks Man and yes I agree it could have been extended to attach to the chassis for sure. I actually ended up trimming an inch off and cut the wings off and it was rock solid. It was also just for show and would fill the gap between the bumper and the ground when I aired out.
@@HQGARAGEIt definitely looks real good. Im gonna have to try to make one myself using your method. I have a cadillac ats coupe, and we basically have no aftermarket parts. Everyone buys the same ebay front splitter lol.
really struggling to find this carbon abs sheet, is there a link available?
Hey I got it from this place plasticworksinc.com
Siiiick
Hello. Great job sir, looks like its an oem ///M Performance part!
Quick question: how thick should the ABS Plastic be? And have you had any issues with breaking since installation.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you 🙏 I used 3/16” thick abs and it has held up perfectly. It’s still on the car and looks perfect still
@@HQGARAGE Thanks again sir for the reply.
My pleasure 🙏🙏
@@HQGARAGE thanks for the upload and thanks for answering his question
My pleasure 🙏 thanks for watching
What size of carbon fiber pressed abs plastic do you use?
3/16” and the piece was 2’ x 7’
How thick was the plastic sheet? Great vid btw!
Thank you 🙏 The sheet was 3/16” thick
What did you use to heat it up? Like you did on the fins? A torch or a heat gun?
Ya I used a heat gun to heat it up and make it bendable.
Where did you get the carbon pressed abs materials??
I got it from a local plastic supply shop.
does that shop have a website i can order from? i don't see any places around here that sell glossy abs
Unfortunately they do not have a website and they would like people to stop calling asking for the material
Where did you get the material for the splitter and what is it made of?
It’s from a plastic shop in Calgary and it’s made from3/16” ABS plastic
🐐
I got a 2013 sonic hatchback that I'm putting money into and I want a fiberglass sheet or one that is not pressed. Any ideas?
I would look into getting a sheet of Aluminum or a material called e-panel. APR I know makes Aluminum ones for the strength and durability but also very light
Will the self taper bolts holds the splitter enough you think ?
Nope 👎🏻 I ended up redoing the splitter after I got the bumper painted. I used bolts, washers and Nuts to secure it down. You can see what I did in this video czcams.com/video/sZHFNpYbtUc/video.html
You can't use threaded rod and have them adjustable without removing one end. You need a left hand thread on one end.
Amazing! Am wondering if u could make one for an e60 m5 and I’ll pay u for it and shipping too?
I probably could, I would just need to find a E60 M5 to make the template from. Let me check around and see if I can find one.
HQ_BMW that would be great!
I will definitely let you know 👍
@6:10 what are those called? i couldnt hear well, these seem super usefull
The copper things are called Cleco’s and the screws were self tapping Bolts
@@HQGARAGE i meant the cleco’s haha thank you!
Hey bro what’s the name of the material you used for the splitter? TIA
It’s called ABS plastic with Carbon Fiber impression.
Is the plastic you got in the description?
It is not but I should add it to the description. I used 3/16” ABS plastic from a local plastic supplier here in Calgary called Plasticworks
i have a BMW like yours and will make a splitter also. nice job. p.s. the bottom of your bumper would look better if it was black.
Sweet 👌 thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback 🙏🙏
