Does it "give" in the center if you hit some road debris?

That looks amazing! But I fear I would destroy it in short order with the way my car gets used.

They have the cost detailed via a link down in the vendor for sale area. They are giving a 10% discount, cost ends up around $450 plus shipping as they are listed at $495. You have to actually go into the sub-forum to see the post.

Too bad that there is not a group buy offered for a good price, I would be in at that, but right now, with the holidays coming up, that is a good chunk of change.

I have had the original on my 92 for a few years. Mine is lowered quite a bit and have never hit anything, even curb stops, straight on. I have rubbed the bottom a few times, but no damage other than paint scratches on the bottom. This has held up very well.

Mine is so beat up I though it was supposed to be a "consumable " part. I just don't see how this part can help but get scraped.

I was strongly considering this piece until the additional cost of $200 was added for the "carbon" finish. Not ruling it out, but not right before Christmas.

Looks nice, but no give if you hit or rub something.
Imo, not worth that kind of coin.

I currently have the splitter with the brake cooling ducts and while a I do like the CF one here a lot, I just don't think I can swing the cost
