Side Diffuser / Splitter install ---- NO DRILLING
Hey guys, I'm going to be making my own side splitters out of 1/4 in abs plastic. Wanted to get everyone's opinion about my idea. I am going to use the 3 existing body holes along with double sided tape to secure the splitter in place.
Bolts with brackets will go into the 3 body holes and come through the plastic splitter and screwed on with a nylon inserted nut and some locktite. I will make a L bracket towards the front that screws into the inner plastic fender lining and splitter. I will make another L bracket on the rear side to secure it as well.
You guys think this will hold up during normal daily spirited driving? Freeway speeds? Not tracking car. I know usually they are installed by drilling I think 4? self tapping screws but I don't want to drill any holes.
I saw Forcewerkz's Honda S2000 V1 Side Skirt Extensions Splitters/Diffusers for sale and they are advertised as no drilling/cutting to install. Anyone use them?
Let me know what you guys think! I don't want them flying off when driving!
Thanks!

I installed my side diffusers with 3M VHB 4910 Heavy Duty Mounting Tape
this is the same tape JDP uses on their rear diffusers.
No problems with the side diffusers staying put.

Thanks! Do you remember where you bought the tape and how much? I was looking online and it was pretty expensive on amazon and ebay.
Also did u have any rattling issues from the wind?

Nice! I found a 1/2in wide by 5 yards in for $18. Was going to go with that and i'll have about 24 inches extra for both sides to stick in different directions after i run one long strip.
They also have 3/4 in wide by 5 yards for $25. trying to save some money but wondering if i should go with the 3/4.
My abs is going to cost 40. Not too bad.
