    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    Well...The eBay part was NOT very good....I tried a basic extension to the air deflectors....this is a very first take on it...have ordered a 3" wide X 1/8 thick rubber roll from Amazon to drop the stock deflectors & do a more effective outer like my first try.... I'm ordering the 62KWh front...

    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    Very good question...if I were to make a guess---that sounds about right. The Nissan Parts page just gives a generic description: "A vehicle body part mounted flush to a body panel used to work with a vehicle aerodynamics used to create less drag and increased aerodynamics." I'm going to...

    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    I just ran across the factory front "spoiler" The part# is 62084-5SNOA & it looks like it is the same dark blue as the rear trim......I'm still going to create a left & right underside air deflector that is more than what is there right now, but I may just order the stock part from Nissan to...

    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    Hmmmmm.... Thank You All for thoughtful responses.... Very good food for thought. I'm getting the rubber I posted above from eBay in the next couple of days & am thinking how to use it right now. I'm liking the idea of doing a right & left side air dam to be more effective than the current...

    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    Well...I'm going to try a chin rubber....I am getting a good feel for the usage in the first part of my trips (up & down a hill--then 55 mph for 8 miles with a round-a-bout halfway through (55 to 50 to 45 to 20 & back)....So I "should" be able to quantify usage within a week or so after...

    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    Yes...As my post above...I'm now leaning towards that.....I measured the side of the front bumper skin against the air splitter & I think it wouldn't really work ....too much gap between the splitter & the forward edge of the wheel well ----I think that it would look wrong..... So, I'm going...

    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    OK...point well taken. I will still take measurements to see if it would fit well...it would really change the front-end looks. If it is not a good fit I will probably do a 2" lower rubber scraper chin.

    I'm going to do some measuring & see if it "really" will fit....If so, I'll push the button on it.... Will keep posted.

    Has anyone tried a front splitter in a Gen 2 for lower drag?

    I was cruising eBay & found this: https://rb.gy/4huhb4 Looks interesting....has anyone tried one & if so, were there any benefits other than the looks? It looks like the blue is "sort-of" close to the rear band.....

    My first.....

    Yes...I used E Pedal for the first time today & really liked it. I'm planning on changing the final drive oil with ULV sometime next week...will give me a bit of time to get a baseline from my driving mix of Hwy & City (we live 8 miles out of town on Hwy 140...mostly level with one...

    My first.....

    I'm new here (yes, I know---redundant) & after a couple of months of research & lurking here for a while.....I bought a <30K 2020 Leaf SV. The wife & I are retired & really wanted a "newish" car with low miles to do the 30~40 mile max one-way drive cycle. We live in Southern Oregon & were able...
