AeroFlowDynamic's Front Splitter Review

Hello everyone! I was lucky enough to be the first to test out this splitter for this new upcoming company.

First off, I want to say that this splitter is fairly easy to install and does not require any drilling. There were a couple holes that had no use on the front bumper and we just used this to attach the splitter. Very straight forward and easy install. Had to remove the bumper, but that's a given.

This splitter is made of billet aluminum and then powdercoated black. It is made for the FR-S so it follows the outline of the bumper very well and has the two fangs.

Overall, it is a very solid piece that is easy to install. Looks great too. Onto the pictures!












Thanks for lookin!

Didn't see the side skirts on their site, but did they have to drill into your car to install those?

For the sideskirts, yes you have to drill. The front splitter tho, you dont have to drill unless you feel like you want it more secure. The holes that are there on our bumper are enough to support it though.

it clearly says in OP

"This splitter is made of billet aluminum and then powdercoated black. It is made for the FR-S so it follows the outline of the bumper very well and has the two fangs. "

This isn't billet aluminum. It is aluminum sheet metal.

The real question, does it work or just guessing it does?
