JET951 may be able to get them done in carbon fibre in the near future. We are going ahead in the next couple of weeks with the first c/f hoods. There will be pictures. The guy we use will be able to do anything in c/f providing there is a mule to make a mold out of. We have a splitter to do this from I think?

A carbon fiber splitter? Wow, I would love to see that as a finished product. I personally love the looks of the A.I.R. one, but know so many people that bang them up, crack them, and have to replace them. I the GT ones are ok, but I know they are better for street clearance issues. If any of you guys can design one out of carbon fiber that has the looks, or close to the A.I.R. one, that it fits well, and doesn't have the clearance issues with rubbing, let me know. I would be interested in seeing this. Of course, pics are worth more than 1000 words!

He got it from www.essentialstyling.com here in the UK

I have to run out now pal. But that appears to look like a GT one, not the A.I.R one? Look at the A.I.R. site, sorry dont have the link now. Ill check back later.

Cheers my friend,

Man I love that splitter it has the looks of the A.I.R, but the clearance of the GT if you look at all the pictures. Def. a nice splitter to have if you can't clear an A.I.R, but don't like the looks of the Gt.

Ok, isn't a carbon fiber spliter sort of a bad idea? When carbon fiber breaks, doesn't it shatter like glass and leave sharp shards all over the ground?

Not really something I'd want as the lowest part of my car directly in front of the tires...

Nice pics! Sweet looking cars. And I do like that splitter too. I would love to see it in a CF verion fully painted and installed. Very kool.

Paul: That web site was nice by the way. I do like the looks of it. Does your friend have any issues with it? Did it fit right, or did he have problems with it at all?

I believe it was a true bolt on with no fitment issues at all. Rick has the same one which you can see here:



and so does another guy in our little UK community:
