Question, I'm trying to decide between two stage 2 splitters for my car. One is the Anderson Composite and the other is JPM Carbon. Both are carbon fiber weave with the stage 2 winglets. They look pretty close to the same from the online photos I have seen. There is a considerable price difference where the ACS is $929 and the JPM is $508.

Can anyone comment on the differences in these 2?
Thanks
I can not answer your specific question, but will try to offer a bump for your thread and offer some of my own personal insight.
Splitters
They do look good...
I was wrestling with splitters and got some feedback. in my research
There is a high potential of damage with a splitter, even when the car is not lowered. If you have owned your car for a little while, just take a peak at the bottom of the painted front fascia, and the skid plates at the radiator carrier. if you see any scratched there, the potential to destroy a 1000 dollar splitter, or a 500 dollar splitter or a 200 dollar splitter is evident. None of them will absorb a direct hit from a parking spot cement stopper, a pot hole depression, or a speed bump that was not taken correctly ( you never saw it ).. I dont think a 1000 dollar splitter can take that type of hit. So if you mess up your 1000 dollar splitter will you buy another 1000 dollar splitter, or will you consider an alternative. There is carbon fiber, there is fiberglass, and there is ABS. The poverty splitter is 200 dollars, but lacks a bit of finish ( it looks dull ) there are 400 dollar abs and fiberglass splitter that are finished with a carbon fiber overlay, or painted Carbon flash. I chose ABS to enhance my Carbon flash heritage package I chose the same for my side skirts.. Quality was excellent, finish was perfect.. IM not endorsing any one brand type or finish just offering some input. I made the right decision with my choice, if I lose a side skirt or a splitter, I can replace it without having to eat hot dog for a couple of months.

Logical advice there ^^^
If you have the front camera then your a bit safer. But the splitter is going to be the first thing to get hit on your car. So personally I'd buy the cheapest one and be prepared to replace or repaint it as needed. I bought a cheap set of skirts for the same reason. Mainly becasue you can't tell the difference between them and ones that cost nearly 3X. While they have some aero effect the splitter and skirts are mostly cosmetic, so as long as they look good and fit well I wouldn't drop big money on them.

I went with a poverty splitter on my car as I have a driveway with a concern about getting the car in without damage. So far, so good. Yes, the more expensive ones look better IMO, but didn’t want to take a risk on damages. Perhaps in the future I may switch to something else.
Like the OEM version, some of the more expensive splitters have the bottom lip that allows you to attach the center skid plate and or additional protection. The cheaper ones do not.
