GT Racing or AIR Splitter, that is the question

Our spoiler is a copy of Gemballa splitter. AIR is also a copy of Gemballa one. We made a mold from a Swedish Sanden splitter, who copied the original Gemballa item several years ago.Gemballa does not manufacture that splitter anylonger. Here in Europe Strosek make them. So this splitter model is quite copied one!

GT Racing Splitter in satin black with OG Racing brake ducts (NLA):
And, on the same car, the AIR Splitter color-matched:
As you can see I have both splitters, and I agree with the commentary about the AIR unit scraping on things. I don't have problems with ordinary street/highway driving because the spring rate on the car is high (hence not much dip/bob), but ramped driveways/entrances are impossible, and speedbumps are out of the question. While I think the GT unit is somewhat ugly compared to the AIR unit, I have yet to scrape it on anything.

Ordered my AIR splitter yesterday...Since I'm getting a new bumper cover courtesy of the guy that backed into me, it seemed like the perfect time. Having the splitter sent to the body shop; I can only imagine installation with the bumber cover OFF the car will be easier (on the other hand, what do I care - I'm not doing the work!)...
Will post pics when the car is done...

Yeah, I think I might go with the AIR unit as well. It would have been nicer if I could have seen it on a car though. They are both very nice. I also want to get air ducts for brake cooling and delete foglights.
But 1st off I have to find either late offset spindles/hubs or M030 spindles and hubs. Once I change the control arms all round and spindles I essentially have a turbo S with less weight. It has all the goodies of the turbo S except the brakes and spindles.
Thanks for the pictures guys and regards.
