If all you want is for a street car and a cosmetic improvement then I'm sure this will do the job fine. For racing I would agree with Tony. Even if some versions of the JT ones are stiffer, they still have all the uneveness underneath. Without it being a flat, or as close to it, surface, you're creating a whole lot of extra turbulence underneath. Tony redresses this by filling that void. In truth, a splitter should carry back past the sump in one continuous flat sheet. People that know aero talk about different surface levels in terms of mm's. So having a splitter that goes back to a point underneath and then joins another bit of board which is higher or lower than that which goes back further, is a no no. Better still, have a proper flat bottom car, but that's for another thread.

Are any of these splitters available to purchase? If so how much are they?

Here is your answer, he makes them to order. Mine will be here next week. I will post up pics when I get it on.

Here is the pics. Some finger prints from install, but looks great I think.

Thanks for the compliments. I would like to get a proper photoshoot of it someday when I get the right light in the early morning or late on a Sunny day with an SLR. It looks a lot better in the sunlight.

Don't have an underside picture. It's roughly finished and can be coated just like the top.
