The car's lowered, so I already don't drive it over speed bumps or other scrape hazards. The splitter's only like 1/4" thick, so it's not too much lower than the the bumper was before.

Oh I was mainly saying that because it sticks out further than the front of the bumper. But if you don't go over an hazards it's all good

I've got a better idea. Replicate this hood in fiberglass:



...and I'll get a shaker airbox

when the heck did that hood become available? Any pics of it on a car? me likey...i think

I was gonna say...cf splitter, hood, and targa tops....if it were me...i don't know if I'd do the spoiler, but if I did...I'd paint the supports the body color leaving only the wing itself CF. Then start hydrodipping the interior for the same CF weave. man I wish I had some loot to throw down right now! Oh...and if anyone says rice...

^ LOL

Love the splitter! But I think that because it's sometimes not possible to avoid a scrape situation, Carbon Fiber is FAR too costly for me to put in suck a high risk area. At MOST i'd wrap a splitter. Looks fabulous tho!

I don't know when that hood became available. It's made by ViS. It costs $1100 and requires hood pins.

Why hydrodip interior parts? I remember seeing a thread where you can send parts to 6LE to get them wrapped in real CF.

yeah...if the fit was perfect...maybe $1100...i'm still stuck with my sleek beek hating life..but can't justify so much money on an apprearance mod when there are so many other things to do.

I'd still like to see that hood on a car....hood pins are no big deal

I didn't know 6LE was wrapping the parts in CF...i need a fatter wallet!

That's sweet lookin in CF but like others have said I'd hate life if it got damaged.

A carbon fiber sail panel would be ****.

I hear ya...and I do think on a black car it'd be sick....any other color and it just doesn't flow right...still cool nonetheless.

The thing with cf is you either need a ton of it, or none of it...the side splitters and canards are CF on the ZR1 too i believe as well as the front splitter

Maybe that should be the next step for Skorpion..cf side splitters and canards, then follow up with cf rear diffuser

I know I would rock that setup...no questions asked!

A CF diffuser will be added, but I'm going with T/A side skirts to match the T/A rear bumper.

I didn't realize you didn't have side skirts....def get the TA side skirts...but CF side splitters would flow extremely well too...just a thought
