I have seen the other thread about the CPR splitter which I think is a great and durable product...I have my concerns though if the same construction technique can be applied to this design of splitter...I guess it would have to be nearly solid and not hollow in order to stay stable also at very high speeds...

Anyway, Mark and I went through the very best price we could offer you guys in the US for that new product... We ended up with 299$ also to be considered as a Christmas offer for Rennlisters...

So who is in for that price?

Cheers

Beni

Yes it is (CPR V1, V2) one piece solid heat formed ABS/High Impact Plastic. Thermo formed for the rake and contour lines, but solid (not hollow) one piece construction.

Now need for concern, however.

This is neither here nor there, but with a splitter made out of fiberglass, you're going to need to get it painted. I know that for a red car, a splitter made out of ABS (which is black) doesn't necessarily need to get painted. So, keep that in mind I guess.

That said, this splitter is absolute sex. Nicely done, Beni.




I think it's f***ing awesome to have so many great options available to us w.r.t. splitters. Nicely done, Patrick and Beni!

The difference between C/f and f/g for a splitter is marginal at best. They'll both crack and the weight won't be noticeable. Cost will be though

Oh it's fine in certain places, but that's not where I'd spend my money on c/f knowing how vulnerable it is. If people want c/f everywhere, that's their prerogative, but I agree I don't like the bling for bling's sake.
