AliExpress front splitter
Has anyone tried one from AliExpress? It’s their anniversary on Monday and a lot of items will be discounted. I was thinking of trying one. Going to pick up some quad tips too.

If you look at all the different options it seems like they are all the same few styles/design. With these Chinese sellers, you never know, they could all be coming from the same factory. I think feedback has been pretty good overall with the quality of these.
Some people have suggested it’s the exact same stuff that some US dealers are selling here, with a huge markup. This is why I was thinking of trying a front splitter from Ali for under a hundred bucks. |

Yeah most the carbon stuff is going to be chinese there are places that have better examples than others the support afterward is what matters so def research where you are buying from. If carbon isn't your thing maxton designs makes some nice looking kits for our car that comes black. It's quite a bit cheaper than even the chinese carbon and feedback seems to be really good. Good luck though.

Does this look like the right one with the tabs? I’ve also seen some that are listed as g42 compatible but there aren’t tabs like this, but it’s a straight edge along where the mounting holes are.

Mine had tabs, but the ones I purchased were from autoid. Judging purely on photos they look similar.

Yes to drilling for extra security. I dont trust 3M tape when im driving 200km/h.
No hardware was included. I bought self tapping screws from local hardware store and ive added 3M tape as well. Will do the install soon and update. |

Fair enough but even spoilers only use 3M tape and handle massive force haha

VHB is very good in compression and shear (slide) force, but it is not good in tension. Anything that experiences forces away from its attached surface should be screwed in.

I tried to install the front lip today and unfortunately it does not fit.
The middle section is short or incorrect although the sides fit perfectly. I have submitted a refund request on AliExpress and will update on the status. Either i get a correct piece or i get my money back |
