yes the CPR lip/splitter is wonderful though I might add I've abused it and it still loves me lol

I like the TPC lip a lot, I may have to get one in the future.

My only problem with the TPC splitter is that it is an exact replica of the A.I.R. splitter. They actually made the molds using an A.I.R. splitter. Not good business IMO.

I say try to find a CPR splitter. They are out there. Quite a few people bought 4+ on the last run.

Had not planned on doing anymore. As for the one pictured, it's Mark & Benny @ D9 who did some great things. IIRC, that is a base unit with some bits attached on the outer edges. Pulled it together nicely.

My problem with these cars was that mounting anything fiberglass on the low 'stanced' front end resulted in a when...not if....they were going to crack/break. I remember one group saying they were going to reinforce it with more glass to make it bullet proof, but then that made it too stiff resulting in the unit ripping the lower OEM front end off.

Either way, there are nice looking pieces out there just find the one that fits your application the best.

A pothole on the leading edge of a gater at MAM snapped the corner off my CPR V3 splitter. Dropped a wheel into the hole and splitter hit the leading edge of the gater. That was a sad day Loved that splitter. Talk about down force.

I destroyed my AIR multiple times, bolted on a gt-racing piece and have been good for years.

I got mine from TonyG.
It is fiberglass with a balsa wood core. It was very strong just from the construction and then I had it covered in spray on truck bed liner.

Yes, sanded the small mold lines out and pirimed with PPG DP-90 primer it's an epoxy that is black, then painted wiith Standox flat black single stage. Looks good on the Zermatt silver car to in black. And the Kalahari beige too.

Don't worry A.I.R copied it from european Strosek splitter. I have molds took from a Swedish Sanden splitter, which is also a copy of Strosek item.

First clones under manufacturing




Ready item



Self made splitter with air ducts



"A.I.R" splitter was originally designed to go with these Strosek skirts



Have made molds of Strosek skirts (shame on me).

First ready clone skirt
