Default 951 splitter redesigned

Here is my latest creation. Actually it is a redesign of my first part the 951 splitter which is now more than six years old. With the good success and feedback of the 996 two piece splitters I decided to do the same thing with the 951. It is now a two piece splitter and I can adjust the distance the blade extends down from the bumper by an inch and a half. A 1-1/2" to 3" drop from the bottom of the bumper. This gives us the opportunity to adjust for ground clearance on lowered cars.The splitter is available in number of configurations, flat bottom, or undertray similar to the factory batwing or both. It can also be plain... no flat bottom, no undertray.

Nice work Joe! Just picked up a 944 S2 that we'll be playing with.

Still wish I could get my 997.2 to you!! :-(

Seriously! Still probably cheaper than buying the stupid carbon fiber one I'll just destroy!

I'll step in and vouch for Joe on his work as well.
That's my car that we installed his new piece onto.

The level of craft and his attention to detail is staggering. Fit+finish is bang on... and while being a functional piece is still a pretty badass aesthetic addition to the front end of these cars!

Joe, I think you really took this design to the next level - any qualms of rigidity/lateral support are mitigated with the undertray, and the ease of disassembly is definitely helpful if any changes or replacements are needed. (Although, this thing is SOLID. I'd try not to hit it on anything, but it could definitely take a beating).

Thanks again, and I'll be sure to post any in-action shots I receive in the coming weeks.

Looks great, if i decide to keep my 951 ill be in touch! I still have a Version 1 that i have not installed...ive been waiting for my AIR splitter to die already but somehow its still in one piece.

To clarify, the low hanging portion can be removed easily without getting under the car? This will make loading onto a trailer alot easier! Taking my AIR off isnt too difficult but does require the front end raised up just slightly so i can access all of the screws. More of an inconvenience than anything.

That's correct.
It takes all of 20 seconds to remove the bottom.
Everything lines up really nicely too - it's an easy 1 person job.

How about a 968 one? I can provide a 968 bumper for trial fitting too.
