Driveway Labs front splitter
Thought there was a post for this, but couldn't find it.
I wanted to post a few pics. Been loving the new splitter, I have the 5" version. In photo: @Wonderbar @Mach V Dan

Looked on their website, the rear diffuser and side splitters look good and are functional. Once I get my suspension done, I might have to pick those up.

Here is the review on the Velox (ft86speedfactory) splitter and why He switched to this foam core carbon fiber. [ame="http://youtu.be/fv0DYOvElWg"]http://youtu.be/fv0DYOvElWg[/ame] Velox was doing the testing until driveway labs asked for changes to be made to the splitter design to perform better, and they declined. He then went and chose to go with this carbon splitter, at which point they cut ties with him.

I'm assuming the 5" one would make it that much harder clearing driveways and speed bumps lol. My car isn't lowered yet, but my previous car was pretty low.

For the splitter, we built what he wanted. He could not afford to do a production order and went down another route. The splitter in the video is not ours. It is a much larger splitter we designed for him which was not installed correctly. We designed our splitter with different goals in mind than that of the Wasp unit. Check the video below for on car testing of the Velox splitter. Please, lets put this thread back on topic and not make this Velox vs. DWL.

Not sure how posting a video pointing at the part the chassis mounted splitter ties are attached to helps disprove his video... But doesn't matter at this point.

No longer available. He was working with Wasp Composites, and had some issues with them. So he stopped working with them and is working on making them himself when he gets the time. I recommmed MPH Fabrications if you need one soon.

Testimony to the splitter's design withstanding a BMW X5:
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M0sC6NDbpo"]Carbon Fiber Splitter Crunch - YouTube[/ame] Can only see two cracks in the carbon fiber. The bonding separated between carbon fiber and foam, and foam is pretty mushy - but it's still rigid, it held up incredibly well. Keep making amazing products! @Wonderbar |
