Well, here it is. This part will be for sale shortly. The first two are already earmarked. One for Chris Foley and one for me. I bought the tooling, so if anyone's interested in getting one of these, let me know.
Chris, sorry, but your part will be finished like this part shown in clear gelcoat.... no extra charge. Actually, I think this picture is of your part. But, you will not have the splitter, as you requested. Prices are not solid yet. Attached image(s) |

I wasn't happy with the options that are out there, so I decided to make my own (with the help of Prototype Composites).
Yes, it's Carbon, with some Kevlar woven in for good measure. And, yes, it's very hard to get carbon these days. Brake duct openings are 2.5". No chance of air dam only options. I made the original plug from a commonly available fiberglass air dam, combined with a fiberglass bumper, and Prototype Composites made the splitter to meet SCCA rules for production. If you're interested in the air dam only, they are out there and available in fiberglass from Pelican and Performance Products. It is not designed to fit the GT flares, but it might work with them. The part wraps up under the bottom of the stock fenders in the front. I've been asked about a fiberglass part, too. I need to figure out what that would cost. I'm not sure what the raw carbon (clear gel coated part) costs.... they told me not to ask. They're hooking Chris and I up with the raw parts. A carbon part, without the splitter, in gelcoat is $550. This is more than I originally thought, but the carbon supplies are being sucked up by the military contractors. The splitter is an additional $280..... designed to take a beating and it replaceable for you curbhoppers out there. Oh, yeah..... 6 pounds without the splitter.... and strong enough to punt a Miata (that's for Chris). |
