Default Splitter

Attached are some pictures of the splitter installed on a car thanks to a very nice and helpful person. This gentleman had recently purchased this car and got delivery of it on Sunday. Unfortunately it had an aftermarket front bumper on it. First thing he did Monday was remove the bumper and install the factory part hence the bumper in Porsche primer. Anyway the splitter fits the car and in his words "LOOKS KILLER". This splitter is going to New York and was set up for a final ground clearance of 3" based on the ride height of the intended car. This car has a higher ride height and thus we have more ground clearance. I can trim and set ground clearance of the splitter to pretty much anything you might desire. Hope the pictures help. It's been a fun design project.

Got mine installed today!

First off, Joe was a blast to work with. I gave him the specs that I wanted and he came back with an even better solution.

I wanted a splitter that I can use on the street and on the track as well. To clear speed bumps and driveways where I live and work, I was looking for a 4" ground clearance on the front. But for track, I wanted something lower.

Joe came up with the idea to add a second set of mounting points for the splitter, so that it can be set at 4" or 3" with the removal of 7 quick release screws!

The fitment of the front lip can't be any better. It was pretty much a plug and play just like the OEM lip. Took about 5 mins to install.

The pictures below shows the splitter at the higher position.

Will this fit a GT2-type front bumper?

Looks great! I think the adjustable mounting holes is a great idea; otherwise, Joe may want to start making a few more for drivers who use this on public roads.
Also, You may be better off balancing the rear with a fixed wing or at least having the OEM spoiler in the "up" position.

From what I have heard it will not fit s GT2 bumper. I would really like to make a GT2 piece. Is there anyone close to Surrey who could lend me a bumper or access to the car so I could do this. As usual you get a part FREE for helping me out with the development. Thanks Joe
