Have any pics of the underside? I have one of your non vented splitters brand new in the wrapping that I haven't put back on because the first one would make the car run 15-20 degrees hotter. I'd like to put one back on but want to see the underside to make sure its not going to block flow to my intercooler.

the price sure is reasonable, are they full carbon or carbon top laid over fiberglass?... do you have any pics of the carbon version installed?

The splitter is built with real Carbon Fiber 2x2 twill pattern, reinforced with fiberglass back layers. The splitter is built with a vacuum bagging system making very light weight and durable. Pics installed on the Vette coming soon!

Can I trade in your non vented zr1 style one for this? Still wrapped in the bubble wrap. never installed it because the first one I bought made my car run hotter.

I was about to pull the trigger and order one until I got to the shipping charges during checkout. I was expecting around $50 to $70 for a total of around $430 to $450. The $200 shipping charge was a bit of a shock and I backed out.

Ha ha I did the exact same thing. I was thinking shipping would be under 100. I was on the fence about it anyway, not because I don’t know if I like it, I love it, but I’m really low and I scrape everywhere. I was going to grab it anyway until I saw the 200 shipping charge.

Thanks for your interest guys! We are checking on options, but because this part has the center portion, we cant use our normal U shaped box to ship this splitter for 75ish like we can with our other splitters. This splitter incurs a lot of extra expense to ship. We will post the Box dimensions in a few and if anyone knows another carrier we can use to ship them we would love to explore a new shipping option

We ship UPS here at work, and from MI to LA (which is one of my normal Shipping routes) it was $145, which is better, but still pretty high.

That's a great shipping rate! Maybe someone else knows of another carrier that can ship these for less?

I am certainly keeping my eye on this thread a bit more now. I've always gone back and forth on whether or not to get a splitter.
