Default WTB: Functional Front Splitter / Undertray for C5

I am looking for a 2" or 4" splitter. If you have an under tray, I may be interested in that as well. I may also consider an entire front fascia.

Let me know what you got, or if you have the ability to fabricate one.

Thx

Check out Blackdog Speed Shop - they have a nice C5 set-up.
They are popular among the ST-2 crowd up here in the Midwest/Great Lakes.

Thanks, I have checked them out before, nice stuff, but a bit more than I want to spend. Was hoping for something used...

2300$ for a C5 nose is a bit retarded

It costs $$ to do certain things in life. Cost of entry for an undertray on the GT2 car is 10k$. 2300 would be for the rubbing blocks that wear out every 3 races.

Its all relative. For what you get, 2300 is a steal.

I just paid 140+ hours worth of labor for my front end, undertray, and rear wing fabrication work...you do the math on what you think the $$ was for just the labor...A PROPER Aero setup is not something done cheaply...

A front clip can be had for 200$. Its a rip off just becuase it has a splitter glued on

It's not a factory front clip with a splitter "glued on".

It's a carbon fiber/fiberglass nose cover with a splitter - and it includes a carbon fiber undertray. Carbon fiber isn't cheap and these nose covers look really good. I've seen them and they look great, I've also seen them installed so that the undertray is adjustable.
I understand that there are some guys that will modify the stock nose and buy some pieces from Home Depot to make a undertray and that works for them. But this is carbon and ready to install - if you don't like the price or can't afford it then move along - no need to say that a stand up company like Blackdog is ripping people off. It pisses me off when people post comments about products or companies without knowing what the hell they're talking about. If you can't help the OP find a splitter and undertray keep it to yourself!!

What a rip-off [I'm kidding of course]

I mean the TTC national champion got his splitter from Home Depot... or maybe it was Jody's (Falcon) new operation Big Pine Key Logging
Yes... that's plywood
