I have one exactly like it. It is carbon fiber and I got it from Idol-motorsport in Germany. Sven has more info on it regarding availability and price, for sure. Ask him.

When air gets underneath a car at speed, it creates turbulent and "floats" the car. A splitter would direct more air going above the car, instead of letting them flow underneath.

When air hits the front of the car it creates a high pressure zone. The pressure is exerted in all directions including straight down onto the lip pressing the front of the car down.

It forces more air into the bumper openings also. Therefore, the radiator will get more air for better cooling.

Just borrow one off this car:



It's 1" thick carbon fiber and can support the entire weight of the car

Maybe not a POS but definatly overpriced and underperforming. Check out some archived threads on the S7 on H-T. I've compiled a bunch of cars that are quicker, have a higher top speed ext for far less cash.
edit-I suck at spelling

Errr...how is 3.4 0-60 underperforming?

They are expensive, I will give you that. But it's just as much an icon as it is a car.
