Sure they have. In fact there is a great how-to thread here:

Did you see Kevin Groot on that Boss 302 show. He is on this board and is a 914 racer.

Speaking of Groot and front end treatments...

Per the rules of this board, you have to let us know if you are selling or want to buy a splitter for your 914....

Moving to the garage.

It's 'cause 914s don't go fast enough to need one?

--DD

So, what's the reason for a "splitter"? Down force? Aerodynamic advantages? Looks cool? I would think if it had a positive angle of attack (which looks to be the case with Trekkors car), it would cause lift? And that's not good right?

OK this helped. http://www.aprperformance.com/index.php?op...view&id=174
Looks like I effed up the link again. Hah! Mark fixed it.

Why no one talks about splitters on 914's???

We were all sworn to secrecy after this clandestine project.

Good times @ joe's place

so a un-engineered piece of corregated cardboard and some strips of dollar store duct tape - seems to be the way to go.

Splitters can reduce Cd and reduce front end lift. In the case of the Boss, it did both....but we did a lot of testing and had to keep street car things in mind.

it can be as simple as letting less air getting under the car or creating a low presure zone behind it

non stock aerodynamic aide costs 5 points that I need for tires below 49 tread wear
