Default graphite splitter interest???

im able to get a couple more of these actual nascar splitters. i cut the ends down and drilled new holes to mount it to the bumper and will put splitter braces on after a while. not doing it now since i still have to pull it off to paint it and not going to run it in the winter.
they are made of graphite so its pretty light but strong.... way stronger then the fiberglass ones.

some will come with some rubber buildup from being on track either practice or in a race. they will be off a hendrick motorsports car... 24, 48, 5

so i can cut it for you or you can do it but it was real simple if you have a jigsaw or some time to cut it out by hand... i would say on a scale of 1 - 10 its about a 2. they come with holes drilled from the sprint cup cars but i dont think you would want to run it that far out so it works out ok since the old holes are on the inside once you mount it. its up to you how much of the splitter you want out of the front end, they also have the brace holes drilled. i can take some more pics before and after i pull it back off.

$100 could be less if more people want one
no shipping pick up in 60099
if i can get a few people that want them ill be able to get a couple more

I'm going to guess your talking about the ends. I have yet to sand anything since I was just putting it in as a test fit. You can cut the ends to any shape you would like.

Looks like you have a design flaw too...Look at a real splitter, In order to sell a good product you must have proper research and development

So you think NASCAR just said let's throw these on the cars and see what happens. Ha. Come on now I'm just trying to pass the option along. It's not made of carbon fiber or jdm so I guess a lot of people will say the same. I'm sure more money went into the r&d of this part then any other splitter out there

No, But Nascar is different than circuit/road racing. Same aspects of aero and stuff. I'm not saying just because its not Carbon Fiber or JDM i wouldn't buy it....

They also do road racing with speeds at the circle tracks that nobody here will ever hit on a course. . It's cool. I'm just hearing bad things but no constructive criticism. If it's no good I would like to know since I'm more about go then show. I was under the impression that the splitter was used for downforce and I would think this would make a ton.
Oh well just trying to share

I have it with 1/4" bolts sandwiched between washers on the underside of the bumper

You can always run a bracket or something to mount it straight to the car itself

not trying to hate at all I was just stating that how it looks to be mounted on the car does not seem very sturdy. I'm all for functional mods man
