Are they suppose to provide down force? That doesn't look like it would be functional. Too flimsy and not enough bracing.

when combined with the canards they are supposed to reduce rolling resistance. and they are held in place by 5 10mm self tapping screws

i hate to be the party pooper but i think all these splitters just look out of place on our cars, they dont seem to flow with the body lines.
but to each there own i guess.

Those full body shots look really good, a lot better then I expected. I can't wait to see them finished with the canards.

I think im going to have ot get some to use in conjunction with my WS6's widebody. Ideas ideas......now i just need a damned JOB!!! I hate being unemployed! I didnt realize you were going all out like ordering the side splitters, i understand your badge a lot better now. I heard a mention or two about the canards, but i didnt know it was confirmed. Any link to where i can get some more info on that?

Looks GREAT btw, sorry i got off topic. I'm interested in seeing a set body colored, or wrapped in CF
