I'm by no means trying to say anything bad about anyone - especially about you or CPR. Things happen and for whatever reason we could never establish that last mile of communication. I didn't want to become a burden between him and his other customers. Between the accident and his trip, it sounded like he already had a full plate!

Probably not until March/April. The original thought was to use the same mold and utilize CNC inserts to alter/extend the lip. Unfortunately for me I will have to do a new mold from scratch...very time consuming.
I'll re-post some pics this evening on this thread. Keep in mind that the unit has morphed somewhat. More of an aggressive raked/angle in the front in lieu of just a flat protrusion (10 degree downward)....just enough, IMO, to give it a real sporty look but maintaining its' real point....function.

Can someone clarify a couple things for me? Just scanned through from the top of this thread but want to be sure on a couple things:
- The first shipment will be the 'street' model
- Any indication on how far behind the 'race' model might be?
[I'm in for the street model, but will definitely be a buyer for the race model and some lucky camper will get the street version]
- Every attachment I tried was a busted link. Anyone have a good link to a pic or drawing of either or both models?
Patrick has been remarkably consistent and open through this entire thread, and deserves all the props. Second round of props when the splitters are shipped, of course :-)

Thanx Patrick!
I'm just trying to get an idea of the delta between the street & race versions. A rough idea will work for now, and I'm definitely in for each model. The street model might get some race time until the race model becomes available. It will be SOOOOOO nice to get away from the nasty fragile GTR splitters!

I kind of feel this is directed at me, although maybe not intentionally. I wanted in the 968 spoiler group buy, but somehow I think mine fell through the cracks. I'd respond to PMs, but not hear back, so I think I missed out. I also want in on the new splitter, but I'm afraid that it'll be the same thing all over again.

Curt,
I don't think E was directing this at you.
And I am not sure about the wing issue...I still have yours sitting here
We were discussing a pick up or drop-off with the paintshop and communication kind of fell-off.
But, NO WORRIES! I have it whenever you are ready, I just didn't want to seem pushy....it is available whenever you want it, as will be the splitter.

It does stay within the tolerances of PCA guidelines
The price is closer to $300 for this version.......

The race version extends out almost an 1" further and is more flat. It also comes with chrome or flat black adjustable support arms. For added control and support.

I'm not sure if there are any available in the first production run, but count me in for one as well.
Also, in an earlier post I asked about the surface finish -- will it be a bit orange-peely or totally smooth, or what?
Thanks!
Also, there may be another rennlister here in Tucson who's interested, and if so, you'd be welcome to send 'em together if that makes things easier/cheaper.

Collin,
sorry for the delayed response...
It will have the textured finish ("orange peely") in black.

Is the street version "orange peel" looking? Smooth would be a nice finish.
