Default 928 Estates new splitter...thanks Rich

Here is the 928 Estates new splitter.....thanks to Richard S it came at a lemons worthy price of $0.00!!!

I also had the shop cut some more holes in the inner bumper support to increase airflow to the radiator.....

Those holes look really cool actually. Is the splitter just thick rubber?

Looks good, professional made piece I'm sure.

Glad it fits.

What material is that? Was it easy to form? Will it flex if impacts something, like curbing?

More of an air dam than a splitter as it lack a horizontal shelf or projection for any differential pressure to act upon....looks a bit like lawn edging which is flexible.

I've seen conveyor belt material used for air dams like this, very stiff but still pliable to form into shape.

It works, Devek as I recall tested it to 200 + MPH sure weighs a bunch less than Carl's thick alloy plate ....
