I know it sounds weird that I don't know how much but let me make sense of it...
Jameel (the guy who makes my stuff) and I have developed a relationship where he knows I'm not full of **** and will bring him money, he knows I want parts and I want them now
Sometimes it is easier to make the part now to shut me up and worry about the money later 
Jameel, I know you read this so that was all for you
Here's the thing, I know how much it costs to cut it (his machine tells him how much each piece costs him to cut), I know how much to powder coat, Jameel doesn't know the cost per sheet for the material yet and how many we can cut per sheet to divide the cost over the pieces... Just hasn't had time to call for prices, price breaks and then do the math. Should know soon though...
ALSO, THE FRONT SPLITTERS WILL COME WITH AN OPTION TO MATCH THE FRONT CANARDS...
In other words, you can order the traditional splitter that looks good WITHOUT canards and tucks under the bumper, you can then ADD canards to this splitter and still look GREAT (trust me, it honestly went over really well tonight with about 15 F-Body guys and literally 10-15 RANDOM people, some families even, pointing them out at Bob's saying they like them and asking where I got them)... OR you can order the front splitter WITH front canards and the front splitter will be a NEW STYLE that is basically the old splitter but it follows the shape of the canards and doesn't tuck under...
Pricing will be the same, regardless of splitter type.

Whole different look with the canards, I am almost positive I will be ordering a full set now.. I was actually getting alittle apprehensive for a bit till you put those canard pics up. I wanna see them on that red car! Only thing is I wish the front splitter was cut to match the lines of the canard, cause you can see that it's two pieces. Should look amazing on my black/white themed car.
Wheres them mud flappies? and full weight of kit including canards now? This is like a body kit for our cars.. that doesn't look rice- good ****.

Everyone that I know that had an old style splitter and is ordering new canards I am paying to have the canards customized with a step role so that the canard is even with the splitter and there is no step to it
You are da man, you are an example of how all business's should be run,
NOW PUT MY ORDER IN FOR THE CANARDS ...........

Not trying to be a ****, but these look like floorboards on a Harley. lol Nice concept. But a real Nascar style airdam in the front and a widebody kit to go with 315+ tires would go further increasing ballistic efficiency. Might give the car a Mad Max look. But if its what works on the Nascars....

to make a front splitter actually functional, it would need to be barely an inch off the ground, and strong enough to stand on. that means a complete redesign/reshaping of the nose, and completely impractical for any kind of daily/weekend driving.
No, that's GM's molded product.
