Re: how much $$$? (AzntaggeR)
What exactly is a spliter? 
I'd suggest checking sites like:
http://www.inlinefour.com
http://www.dmhondaparts.com
Sounds like something they might have.

it allows air to move faster under the car. when the air traveling under the car is faster than the air traveling over the car, downforce is created.

I was thinking the same thing.

Normal airflow = higher pressure
Higher pressure is like more weight, therefore it creates downforce. That's as dumbed-down a way to put it as I can conceive
This is why an airplane's wing has a more severe curve on the top of the foil. It forces air to travel faster, thus lowering pressure above the wing, thus creating lift.

yeah, having air move faster under the car than over the car, sucks the car to the ground. airplane wings are the opposite, air travels faster over the top than the bottom.

Re: how much $$$? (94HybridEX)
well im sure it has a perpose as Roger Foos Eh hatch had one on it. im kinda lost on his hole theroy of down force too. but if air goes really fast under car that doens't neccassarly create lift you have to get more air under then over....... so maybe it just streem lines it through.. i will shut up now

a flat peice of carbon fiber/fiber glas that seals off the bottom of the car. it makes the under side of the car flat so air can move even faster.
