Jason - Price? downforce (compared to like the ZR1 spoiler)? How does it attach, screws like the full width spoiler and ZR1 or tape on the ends?

Thanks

Introductory price of $975. On top of that there is a 10% off sale on everything for the month of June.

Downforce numbers to follow. It will definitely have more downforce than the ZR1 factory spoiler. It attaches with the 4 factory mounting holes. No drilling required. It has tape on the ends, but not to hold it down, only to prevent scuffing of the paint. The 4 center bolts are sufficient to hold the entire spoiler.

very nice..it looks like an integration of the ZR1 spoiler and the MTI spoiler that is an option on the Katech packages...sounds like a win win to me..

Jason,

Besides the good looks it appears to be quite functional also.

Since adding downforce to the back end means balancing downforce up front...what would you suggest for a functional front splitter? The stock front end doesn't have much support to create downforce.

I do track events @ Road America, so I'm concerned more about the functionallity of the splitter/spoilers than the (good) looks.

I would suggest waiting for our front splitter.
