who makes the front splitter on bob howard's 951?

i also found this one

which appears to be from gt-racing.

i'd really like a carbon-fiber one (light weight, resilliant, plus i'd like to do it up as a show-piece too, and leave it clear-coated CF as an accent) - any ideas where to get something like that?? i found this web page from promax, <a href="http://www.supportnet.freewire.co.uk/autoporsche/splitter.htm" target="_blank">http://www.supportnet.freewire.co.uk/autoporsche/splitter.htm</a> - looks to be about what i want, but they don't even have an email address and i'd prefer to not have to order something that large and ship it from europe ($$$).

i'd love pics of cars w/ splitters, where to get various ones, suggestions and experiences!

also, what about sideskirts / rocker panels? mine have developed some rust spots and i'd like to take care of that. I like the ones on this car:

i don't like that hood scoop and the more i look at it i think i want a simpler bumper, but those side skirts look nice, and i like the fact that they taper up toward the rear - nothing worse imo than some 951s i've seen with a very aggressive front end, and sides, but stock rear panels, where the front's so much lower, etc...

anyway, suggestions would be great, i need to order this stuff and get the car painted asap!

thanks in advance!!

Here's a pic of my 951 with splitter.
It's from a Swedish company, but I think A.I.R in the US makes a similar one.

Anyone have any wind-tunnel data for these things?

Stated a positive improvement. For what that's worth. Most people have it for the same reason I bought it, looks. Kinda' silly, actually but I still bought it. <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />

Hey Duke - what are the ride heights on your car?

Can you give it to me in MM from a level surface to the door sill, front and rear, or from the center of the wheels to the top of the arches, or from the ground to a particular suspension reference point?

I like the overall appearance of your car and am thinking of raising mine a tad...

But it's actually too low, I have a lot of trouble with using it on ordinary roads.

Oh, by the way Duke. That is one beautiful example of a turbo. KUDOS <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

dmoffitt

yeah duke, i've always admired the looks of your car!

LSU, your car is the sole reason i'm probably gonna get the GT-Racing one, what a beautiful example! I also like the fact that it extends back in place of that rubber thing, esp. cuz my stock one's cracked in two.

thx everyone!!

i kinda like the side rockers from fiberwerks, although I havent seen a good picture of them yet, Id like to see them on a 951 before I would consider them...

Dan Gallagher

The air front spoiler is NICE but it is also:
a rock magnet, very very low (i dont mean be careful in the driveway low, i mean yesterday i heard it scrape going around a corner low.... but that could just be my car)

...i would like to see a fiberwerks REAR bumper on a 951

A.I.R. splitter on my car.

ugh it hurt me inside to hear that scrape, luckily it didnt hurt anything

SamGrant951

I have an AIR lip, mine scraped through corners, then cracked, now its in 2 pieces. yea i put about 200 miles on it. hahaha

im fixing the fiberglass right now, then regelcoating, primering, then repainting. should be back on along with a gtracing rear bumper in about 2 months. (I love the look, just have to be vewy vewy caweful...

I have a few pics in my pcar profile If you are interested
