J's Racing Front Splitter - Protection?

***jsnymeyer*** · 12-29-2009, 06:17 PM

I recently got my hands on a J's Racing front splitter and have been wondering how I can protect this bish from harm since A&J Racing no longer distributes them anymore. The options I've come up with so far is, 1.) to just get it painted normally; 2.) get it powdercoated; 3.) get painted then add a clear bra; or 4.) get a vinyl applied. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Here are some pics for all of those who were interested:

Just paint it and when it gets chipped after a few years--paint again.

Haven't opened it yet, actually.

Buy as many as you can...hold on to some, sell them to other people in a year or two at an oustanding rate.

There are no more in mint condition. I bought the last one from A&J Racing, and I believe they were the only distributor for it.

Somebody somewhere has one...

***InfamousN*** · 12-29-2009, 10:55 PM

step 1. install it then take pics.

***jsnymeyer*** · 12-29-2009, 10:58 PM

Why would I do that before I got it protected?

***InfamousN*** · 12-29-2009, 11:00 PM

why would you need to protect it? isn't it durable and made of quality material? i'm confused.

***jsnymeyer*** · 12-29-2009, 11:01 PM

Two words: rock chips.

***InfamousN*** · 12-29-2009, 11:03 PM

rock chips are inevitable regardless if you paint it and what not.

***jsnymeyer*** · 12-29-2009, 11:05 PM

Hence the clear bra and vinyl option

x2

***InfamousN*** · 12-29-2009, 11:10 PM

okay out of those options: i vote clear bra. even though i hate bras with a passion.

i don't like the vinyl for you cause..really, you'll just change your mind after you put it on.

***jsnymeyer*** · 12-29-2009, 11:12 PM

That's the option I'm most leaning toward, though. I can get NHBP vinyl.

***InfamousN*** · 12-29-2009, 11:15 PM

flip a coin.

Unless it's made out of metal, it can't be powdercoated

I need to use my brain.
