Wind Splitter

Amtron · Post by **Amtron** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 8:46 am

Hey, I'm all about the crazy ideas, and just got another one.Has anyone seen, or installed a wind splitter on a vibe? I think it might look decent on my Vibe if it was lowered. I'm assuming (although haven't looked hard) that no one makes them for Vibes...but I think with a little effort and some money you can make whatever you want.This site carries universal wind splitters. I was thinking the last listed one would work.http://www.andysautosport.com/...ions/This is it the full front wind splitter installedAnd here is the actual wind splitter on its ownHere is the photoshopped image I made of what it should sort of look like if there was a wind splitter on a Vibe:

I don't think I've seen anything like this before. You could try it out to see what the results would be likePersonally I'm not feeling it for a couple reasons. First the support rods in the photo look like they're drilled through the bumper cover, second I live in an area where it can snow quite a bit in the winter so a lowered car with splitter would end up being turning my Vibe into a snow plow!

first of they work, on cars going fast and track. cobb has one on their ms3 and this evox on a road tour had a cheap one...it broke off at 120mph though.This would be just for looks on a vibe. Since it is "universal", it may not look as good as you would think. Maybe would be better if you had suspension mods and a body kit?

I think the lime green looks decent. Well at least with the grey and all.

i think thats hot and i like the look and idea of the wind splitter(though not for my awd) id go with it if you feel like it.

I think I've decided it's too much work for something that is probably just going to rice it out. I mean, I've read up on them, and actually benefit the car in some ways, but it looks like it will all pain and no gain.

Yeah, Cobb made a CF one for their MS3. I would purchase it if it was produced but I dont have the time to make one myself to custom fit to the car..its a ton of work specially make sure its secure and wont break off at over 140mph.

yeah the wind splitter doesn't look to bad, except on lime green,j/k. It just doesn't seem to practical
