Question Owners of GTS Splitters

MasterP · 11-07-2013, 03:01 PM

I've absolutely destroyed my Challenge GT Splitter, to the point it can't be repaired or would not be worth the trouble. Dallas is appearantly not as flat as the rest of Texas. I was considering repairing it, but it's slowly kept disentegrating as each day passes.

I need to replace it, and I'm thinking of a GTS replica. I'm normally against replica anything, but I'm bound to believe any front splitter is a cosumable.

I needed to get a feel if the rest of you guys are scraping and bashing your GTS lips on the ground.

Let me know your thoughts, Thank you.

I have hit mine a few times and it really holds up to the stress and to minor (botttom of lip) scrapes.

That is on this car.

Got my GTS Lip from Mode Carbon, the ground clearance is better than the challenge. Very pleased with my ride and the fit and finish of the piece.

I'll look into the mode, its the closest thing, I just wished it would wrap to the sides like the challenge.

yeah iam in the same boat. Looking for a GTS lip that wraps round the sides. Iam not game to dive into a chinese replica...

Saschi · 11-22-2013, 06:09 AM

I just got my mode lip. The fit and finish is outstanding. It's even more noticable with the matte finish.

why not?? You think most of teh vendors are making these parts here??

Do some research, nothing wrong w/ rep lips that are bound to break anyways. There's some cheap examples here in the US as well

MasterP · 12-05-2013, 03:35 PM

I'm with you on this. If I somehow destroy this new lip I'll just roll without one.

mkPOTO · 12-08-2013, 12:41 PM

go with Mode Carbon, there stuff is priced well and very durable. I'm placing my order with them shortly

sales@ESSTuning · 12-09-2013, 03:04 PM

I run the Mode Carbon without the lower section and I have no clearance issues.
