Default Looking for a cheap front splitter

Does anyone have a front splitter laying around or know of a good quality replacement? The rpi one seems pretty reasonably priced at 485 but I haven't seen they're stuff before and am unsure on the quality.

Had a mishap playing around in the rain at the track this weekend and blew off my bumper and cracked my fender sadly. Bumper and fender seem repairable tho. But the splitter is done

I bought mine from American Hydrocarbon after my off road excursion. I believe it was $450. Good quality and easy to install. The carbon patern is slightly larger than OEM yet it's just fine for me as I do like to track the car and replacing it with an OEM could be very expensive.

From my searching it looks like a good quality product. Do you have any pictures of the car after the incident?

Lol that is the way to do it! I have been running a cracked splitter for a while. I am interested in how the RPI will compare to the stock CF pattern as I am getting tired of seeing the ugly cracked splitter!
