Any other options on the splitter? Not to be rude but it ain't exactly pretty. The rest of it looks great IMHO.
What are the b panels made of? f/g c/f frp?

My goodness 333pg333, you Aussies are sooo rude!

Just kidding-Of course it ain't pretty, it's made out of ABS conveyor and belt rubber. The body panels are all fiberglass. The whole reason for going this route is to make replacing parts on a damaged race car (track car) easier and less expensive. We probably lost a few pounds in the process, but that wasn't the primary reason.

Getting air to the brakes is easy if you leave the upper headlights in and Naca duct through the lower headlight hole. Not like avitar. See earlier pics.

As my car is set-up, we'll be using a small hi/lo beam lamp and a Naca duct. Still playing with that, but I have little demand for lights, except to be legal on the street, which I'm not anyway, for all sorts of other reasons.

You can also remove upper headlights and vent through that space.

As to putting brake ducts in the splitter, I don't think it's that difficult, but I'm going down to take a look. I'll get back to you

Any plans for a pre S4 splitter or fenders?

I'm planning on an S4 rear conversion eventually, I plan to keep the stock nose on my 79.

Larry,

Thank you for the replies. Now I can see how the front bumper was made. I don´t see any problem with that... But, I don´t want to send my car to Nevada, that´s sure! I have couple really good fiberglass/carbon guys around here, so fitting is a minor problem...

I think I´m not ready to order this within two weeks, but maybe I´ll wait for some time and see what happens when you install this kit to few cars. And I really hope you produce these awesome looking parts to be available, let´s say, at summer maybe!?

Greetings from Finland!

Hello Justaguy-

I don't think the splitter is the place to try to get brake ducting for my car. The panel that the air dam attaches to also attaches to the car's undercarriage. You could probably open a hole that would be about 1"-1.5" tall and 6" wide.

If the car rode higher on it's suspension, the panel in question could be taller by an equal amount, making ducting easier.

The differences will be very minor on an early car, or so we think. Just a slight difference in the transitions piece. I have an '82 in Phoenix and will use it as a test car this summer if someone doesn't take us up on our offer of a free install.

That air damn on an early nose will look awesome! Would be nice to keep the stock brake ducts.

Thanks for all the work.

That is one badass looking body kit.

Hmmmnnnnn..... I have a car that could be a good candidate..... interested in supercharging your car? Maybe we could work something out.

Count me in for a set of front fenders. Maybe the rockers also.

I already have a set of Ott rear fenders.....do you think they would be reasonably compatible?

Hi Dave-

Shouldn' be a big deal, but could you send me a couple of close-up pictures of the area where your fender will intersect our rocker?

Hi Tim-
Sorry to say we can't make a deal. But I have the '91 GT motor sitting on a stand and maybe we'll do something with that or my '82 someday.

The splitter looks like a great idea for a track car, take a licking and keep on going.

Ha, not rude, but sometimes we don't evade the issue due to PC'ness.

As I said, the bulk of the kit looks great. The splitter looks old school air damn but highly efficient if that's what you're after. Many of the current splitters actually encourage some under body air but then that's with a bunch of underbody tech involved.
