so are we able to post a nice rendered drawing ?

That isn't a very good idea until his legal documentation is complete. Once it's complete, he can sue the crap out of anyone who copies his work.

i guarantee it will cost more to enforce a patent that then 5 splitter sales you may loose.
are lihndsy coming after me for re welding my own right hand inter cooler tank .
we all need to spend more on cars and less on lawers.

If you will, allow me to give you and any others, who may not have been in a reasonably tight loop, know how this came to be, and what we wanted from the effort. Patrick, "CPR" pm'ed me about an idea. He asked my opinion on what would make a great splitter. The basics are below.
1. The splitter needed to be constructed of a material that was FAR more durable than the other products on the common market.
2. We wanted a splitter that resembled the A.I.R. product, which we know to be a copy of another companies product. There is nothing AT ALL about the A.I.R., that is wrong with the A.I.R. product, except that it is very much an expendable component. Racers consider their splitters to be wear items, no different than brake pads.
3. We, mostly, own street cars. For us, a splitter needs to be a semi-permanent item; not that we are unrealistic, but that we have different needs and ground surface issues than racers, on well manicured tracks.
4. As such, our splitters need to be able to bend, but not break.
5. this was the point and gist of this project.

Patrick, "CPR", has road tested the prototype. He ran it over various crap, and it does bend but not break. (I'll refer you to page 1-3 of this thread.)
At the moment, he is in Europe. He is tooling his facility to properly and efficiently produce, so that he is able to provide us with, this product at a price that is affordable to most.
Without divulging his confindence, he came to me privately and asked me for significant input.
I'm not qualified to provide materals, and engineeering input, but I do know the frustration of splitters on our cars.
So, I laid out for him, what I would do if I could.
That is simple. It neeeds to exactly match the holes, already drilled for the batwing, and it needs holes that will also allow us to connect the first plastic engine shield.
Those were the requirements, generally. He took it from there. We've talked since, including me taking a stake in being his distributer. We might work that out, and you'll get Marine Corps quality service. However, I think he has a site running and we need to give his company time to bring a quality product to market, in such a way that service is at a quality that he and I both agree is imperative.
So, take a deep breath, guys. It will get done and well.


I only post things to **** him off because I think it's FUN!

but this isn't one of them.

...yeah but when can I get MINE????????????????????????????????

SHADDUP! ROO *******!

CPR

Ehall....as usual, you hit it right on the head.

Gentlemen,

I am working out some conflicts with clearance around the OEM barke ducts and lower shrouding.

I have to manufacture a new mold, which I have been working on every night since my return from England (including tonight). While I had concessions in the first/current mold to clear the obstructions, the material loss (thinning) in these two areas (L & R) is simply unacceptable (</=3/32").

Sorry for any delays, but I will not produce "junk". Irregardless of the cost to correct it. There is no one that wishes to see the end of this project and its' R&D wake of thousands of $$$$ put to rest more than I....

Again, I apologize for inconvenience these delays may have caused any of you. Now...time to get back to work, hand machining a mold is not the easiest or quickest of tasks to perform.

Patrick,

Thanks for your effort and attention to detail on this. I know what it takes to truely take a part from concept to quality mfg volume. Don't let anyone here rush you.
I'll be buying one when they're released to sales.

Lorax

yeah i'm going to buy 4, I just don't know where I will put all of them on my car yet.
