No photos at the moment.
Fitment is spot-on. The unit comes pre-drilled, and uses factory mounting points. The edges by the front tires use self-drilling screws. I simply drilled a small pilot hole, and then used the self-drilling screws.

The whole thing took me only a few minutes to install. The piece is quite tough, as I've inadvertently tested it against a curb, and couple of driveway scraps. Also held up fine to a (GPS verified) 150mph.

I got one of those splitters from the rennlist guy (CPR V1). Fit is great and hardware is fantastic. As soon as I can I'll post pics of it on my car.

Hi Folks,
I'm a new member. When I saw the remarks of some of the splitters on the market being too aggressive I wanted to share a couple of pics of my new splitter I just did for my car. I like to push the limits and then back off if need be.

Joe

My friend from Kansas S2 got a new one painted red, it cracked, gapped and chipped in 60 days.
He was not happy. We told him, he did not listen.


Had to drill and paint

Forget that, I don't want to drill or paint, AIR is thick and don't stick out far enough for me, it sits low near pavement, less aggressive than V3.

AIR, Just one more piece to touch up on weekly basis, I'm out.

Do you know which type of splitter that is on the red UK registered 944 with the two paint stripes on it? I like the way it tapers in towards the wheel arch rather than sticking out like on the grey car.
Thanks

I have also dealt with CPR and would happily recommend the product and services. Here you can see their race V3 splitter. Notice the deformation on the RHS. We didn't fasten the sides as we wanted them to have some upward movement available for riding the kerbs. It fitted directly on and took no time to do so.

Here is the carbon one on a guards red car. I mounted it with thru-bolts so as too be super strong. Large plate washers are at every mounting point and then the Stainless turnbuckles for support.

I am thinking that the weave is lost in the reflection?

Can anybody actually feel theirs working? All you've talked about is looks.

Yes! Car feels much more planted at high speeds (>100mph). Personally tested mine to 150mph, very stable.

Guys,

The splitters and their respective designs all have a place in this market. With that in mind I went about designing one that incorporated ideas from you guys...the actual end-users. The input I received was fairly redundant and uniform:

-a more durable unit. something that withstand, bumps, curbs, steep driveways, road debris impacts, road kill, etc....

-a cost effective unit. Something under $250 to make it affordable for everyone.

-A one piece functional splitter AND full OEM Batwing replacement...not just a half skid plate.

- Easy installation. No drilling, no painting (YES..it can be painted), no prep, etc...No one really wanted to spend an entire day mounting a simple splitter. It takes ~30 minutes to completely install.

-A finish that blends in with the OEM side skirts (orange peel) and looks like it is/was factory.

Hopefully this provides some better insight as to the V1 ABS/High Impact Plastic splitter.

Now...back to the regularly scheduled programming....
