That thing looks amazing. The entire car does actually. Really digging the grill opening.

So it includes the oil cooler? I assume it includes the grill as well?

Is the splitter extension easily removable to get the car on and off a trailer?

Yes, it includes the oil cooler. The air inlet for the oil cooler is the gap between the fascia and the splitter. There is no grille there.

The undertray is removable by taking out the 13 perimeter bolts on the bottom, the 4 bolts/nuts in the center support, the 2 bolts that go into the undertray support brackets, and the cable pin. It's not a big job, but I wouldn't want to do it every time I had to load into a trailer. My trailer has the fold out aluminum ramps and if I jack the nose of the trailer up I can get the car in no problem.

Can the TIKT oil cooler be a stand alone option without the splitter? Any pics of the actual oil cooler ?
Thanks Jason

No, because it wouldn't have an airflow path.

[QUOTE=Katech_Jason;1595190860]It would hurt top speed in a drag race, half mile, mile or top speed type of race. For high speed stability 150+mph you may need something, but this is probably too much.[/QUOTE

What's interesting to me is that this "Slim Green Beast" is running with both the Z07 factory street rear air-spoiler setup and the for track "wing" spoiler. It has been my understanding from reading, not experience, that to run the "wing' type one should remove the "dove-tail" type as far more down force than needed would be created turning into unnecessary "drag" on the car???

Need a side view of this. Need better pics of car man...I feel like I can't SEEEEE it. That splitter is perfect for the car and body line, etc. Looks like a factory designed upgrade piece. Serious bitness.

Can you buy just parts of the kit like the brake ducts or the splitter?
