New RPI Splitter design

I just placed my order for one in Cyber Gray. I will let you all know how the process goes, the quality, and the new designs ability or lack or ability to resist those nasty driveway scrapes.

I have ruined my carbon fiber splitter with many little scrapes causing cracks, splits and splinters. The fiberglass low profile should hold up better.

The weave is the same 2x2 that the other vendor above uses. It'll match exactly. We ask for 2-3 weeks on real carbon fiber as we make them to order. On our real carbon, we do back it with a layer of fiberglass for added strength.

If you hadnt seen "the other vendor's" splitter, how do you know which weave they are using?

Sweet!! I was hoping you guys would make a copy of the new Callaway splitter, and for a whole lot cheaper. Just added it to my wish list.

I don't see anyone saying that about all the vendors selling ZR1 and Z06 aftermarket fenders, Zr1 spoilers, Zr1 sideskirts, splitters etc, unless they have a patent on it its a free market.

I've been looking for one that fits the standard C6. I would definitely put this on my near term list.

No, they are talking about APR. We use the same weave at APR. I don't know anything about the Callaway.

Exactly the same as the ZR1 splitter. We used the ZR1 splitter for the edges and mounting. We swooped up the center, really that is the only difference between the ZRAL and ZR1 splitters we sell.
