Default Homemade Front Splitters???

So I visited my uncles house while he was fixing it up and I saw this laying on the floor...



Some self sticking vinyl wall base...
Then i got an idea I think I could make some kind of front splitter out of them

Heres the attempt... I cut and put them on in about 10minutes
What do you guys think?







Got the idea from this...

Interesting - from the pictures it looks like the color matches and gives a nice look to your chin spoiler. I like the look, but wonder how it will stay.

Definitely creative! I think your car looks good without it though. I think the chin spoiler looks good on its own without any add-ons.

I was worried about the strength too so I just took them off and redid them with 3M tape...
Those suckers arn't going anywhere

I like em, but i think you should make em stick out farther in the front so they are more pronounced and more noticeable
