Just got this email reply from APR regarding a carbon splitter for the 03.5 msp.




Hi Chester,

Thank you for writing to APR PERFORMANCE.
Currently, APR does not have the requested application Splitter.
But, we would able to custom make one.
For custom make a splitter, we will need a bumper shape template.

First, use a large sheets of paper or cardboard, place underneath the front
bumper.
Draw the bumper bottom outline.
Fold it up then send to us.

Cost for custom splitter; $305+ shipping
Estimated working time; 7 days.

Sincerely,
TEAM APR

it would be cool for them to make a cf one but wouldnt they need to do proper rresearch and development or so i feel...i mean cardboard. no offense or trying to knock you making a good product but id rather they use a real protege bumper and do proper rnd work but thats just me.

So far no one is going to release a splitter for the 03.5 msp. There was a GI thread awhile ago, but nothing ever came out of it.

It's really tough to do that with our lips b/c the front end of it is a full inch higher from the ground than where it meets the wheel well. Our lips are VERY hard to work around... believe me when I say I know.

It's not hard to work with these lips. I did this in one day. Looks good and adds a nice touch to the front of the car.

I used cardboard also to make my template.

Definitely not DG. Made them myself and just used a piece of cardboard to get the shape I wanted.

I guess they do resemble the DG P5/03 MSP splitters.

How big is the gap between the 3.5 lip and the splitters??? It looks like an inch or two, but I really can't tell from those pics. It's REALLY tough to form them to the 3.5 lip b/c of the way the lip curls up towards the front. That is what I meant from post #7.

After I posted my reply I read your thread on the extension you created. You truely did work with the lip. Sorry about that.

The curve isn't that bad on the 03.5 lip. I guess the front were it starts to curve and then meets the splitter is about a half inch. Not bad at all.

Here is a straight on shot.

no i wasn't saying yours, i'm just saying it looks sweet like that, i was going to do them like yours but i didn't think it'd look good on a silver car, so now they're only yellow at night (thumb)

The template I made was from cardboard. Once I had the shape I wanted, I transfered the shape to plexi-glass. Once the patern was traced on the plexi, I cut out the shape, and then sanded the edges flat and once smooth I painted it black and then put a coat of clear on them for protection.

Drilled the holes through the plexi splitters and bottom of the lower lip and bolted it all up with stainless hardware to avoid rusting.

There was no outside company that made these. All done by myself in my garage and in one day.

Hope that helps you guys out that want to try and make them on your own.

hope it comes out ok. you might wanna hit up your local high-end stereo shop to see if anybody there does CF work. Might fit better than a cardboard template, but that's just a speculation.

i'm officially inspired, i'll be taking on this project asap, but i'll probably do a 1 piece splitter similar to that of the MP3 but slightly more stuck out, may need dampers though which i'm not sureweather qualify as rice or not, but oh well... to each his own.

i definately would, but two factors would hinder that progression

(1) the MSP has just been through it's second major accident and will be gone soon.

(2) i don't have an 03.5 lip any more, it's P5 style with fogs.
