Autotecknic carbon fiber front splash guards

JRod1980 · 07-22-2020, 08:33 PM

Just ordered these little things. Curious, does anyone currently have them on? Any positive/negatives to share? They look pretty good (see picture).

I have the M skirts on my vehicle, but also have spacers (15mm front) too and I figure this wouldn't hurt to have as an added protection.

Just curious if anyone has any feedback on this product before I install?

Thanks for this. Just ordered a set myself. IND doesn't carry them so I wasnt aware they existed.

Installed. Pretty easy, 15 min max. Very subtle and hardly noticeable.

It is not. It's individual frozen dark grey metallic. IG: @frozen.f90m5 there's a few pictures there if you want to check out.

Just realized I don't think I have a picture posted with the skirts and mudflat, sorry. Here's one I just took. I hope this helps.

Yes, you remove the original rivets, sandwiched the splash guard in between fender liner and fender.
Then secure it with the new, supplied, plastic rivet.

Yes. I added some two sided 3m for added security but it doesn't come with it.

Looks great! Even I can handle this!

Do you know if there is one available for the rear wheels?

No if you look at the rear wheels there is no where to connect one unfortunately as I wondered the same thing

Meh, not a big fan.....but that would solve the issues with the Pirellis kicking up rocks to that area. My inner piece there on the rocker panel is beat to hell with chips from my Pirellis being on for only like 6 months. I really wish I had known about it before-hand because I would have either sold the Pirellis or did PPF there. I don't think I've ever had any car beat up like that from rock chips. Crazy thing is I don't think I have one chip on my hood....which is where most people get them.

MDJAK · 08-07-2020, 07:49 PM

I received them today. What kind of tool, if there is a specific one, do you use to remove the existing rivets? Ty

A small metal punch is what I used. Like a pick

I will add to this. I saw a video and the guy used a hammer to put the new ones in. Well that just broke them for me. But once they were broken down I was actually able to push them in slightly by hand and then finish with the hammer. They were just too long and flimsy for me

Thank you. Found that video.
