What is the purpose of a front splitter?

[DiAsher]

The purpose of a front splitter is primarily decorative. Adding a front splitter can make the vehicle look more aesthetically pleasing, but its practical effect in terms of modification is actually quite limited—it mainly adds a bit of personality to the exterior. Car modification refers to altering the external appearance, interior design, and mechanical performance of a factory-produced vehicle according to the owner's preferences. It mainly includes two types: body modifications and performance modifications. Front splitters are typically made from materials such as fiberglass (resin fiber), one-time molded PP (polypropylene), or PU (polyurethane). PU material, which is a type of soft rubber, is the most commonly used due to its high flexibility and resistance to damage from minor scrapes. However, it cannot withstand high-temperature paint baking as it may deform, and front splitters tend to be relatively heavy. The downside of installing a front splitter is that it can easily get knocked off or scraped when driving on rough or uneven roads. For many car modification enthusiasts, a front splitter is considered an aesthetic accessory that enhances the overall appearance of the vehicle. In racing cars, the front splitter serves as an aerodynamic component, designed to reduce the amount of air passing under the chassis, thereby improving stability at high speeds.
