Moulding splitters into bumper?

Tallest · 05-24-2010, 05:01 AM

I've seen couple of members do it. Is this a hard job for a body shop? What's involved in such a job - bondo or heat gun or something else? Is this expensive?

I'm considering splitters but since my front bumer has few scratches i figured I may repaint it together with the splitters and have them moulded in. Cost wise it's pretty good on paint, but not sure if the moulding price will be high.

Appreciate your tip on the idea.

The cost to mold should be like 100-200.

I just ordered mtech with cf splitters and I'm having this done. I was curious as to how they did it, too. I'm getting everything done for free though

There are a few methods if they are a decent to good shop they shouldn't have an issue. I used to help out and learned a few trade secrets
