New carbon fiber - splitter/fascia
Rennlister Eniac has revised my fascia/splitter mount to solve some previous movement issues.
Carbon Fiber was done by local fabricator - very light!

When you say movement Jim, was the f/g piece actually flexing? F/g is light enough but c/f feels like you're lifting black air! Nice stuff.

There is no flex racing these parts. The movement was at the splitter attachment points.
The original splitter mount system we designed used a two part - bayonet style mount at the rear, bolted at the original tie down location. The front of the splitter was attached to the fascia. When the splitter impacted a curb it would push it back and stay there. A good design for someone to quickly remove for clearance (loading a trailer for instance).
The new mount is much more robust and the splitter itself is much stronger than before.
