True racing splitters are fairly flat. Go to any pro race and you will see. Some look better than others.

tommo, I would imagine that this would weigh a lot more if it was all urethane though?

Thanks. That's a good thing too as it doesn't have to be a scraping the ground low type setup. This also looks more like the sort of thing the guy in those links was suggesting rather than a big, low protruding spoiler from the past. I would be interested in something like this shape.

Count me in for one, possibly two. I'd like to keep the underbody panels, so either a lip that goes between the batwing and bumper or a full piece unit that connects at the back in place of the batwing would work for me.

I'll get a picture up in a second of the back of the batwing.

Im just going to make some AIR splitters in urethane. new designs would be great and all, but that requires hours and hours of materials and fitting and fabrication. basically, a huge PITA, which is why it rarely happens.

I do like the splitter posted on here a couple times on the silver car... maybe if all goes well i'll try to make something like that. im not too concerned with making a super high performance two piece racing splitter that can withstand 160mph. im catering to street driving, on your average 951 here.

Oh, so this is just for show, not functional.

JK Kurt, couldn't resist.

Haha, if i was going for functional, i'd just buy a stock batwing and call it quits. Most people have the AIR splitter because it just looks so damn good on 951s.
and if this goes well, how do you guys feel about 968 wings for cheap cheap? I guess thats a whole new thead...
