Default 996GT3 - Front carbon splitter

Looking to replace the standard GT3 front splitter - does anyone make a larger carbon item that uses the same fixings?

There's this... But it is completely unusable on the street and you gotta be a baller to use such an expensive "disposable" piece on the track.

It's not mounted on the car in the pic...it is on the ground. It wraps around the top of the bumper.

Ok, because not even ground effect f1 cars weren’t that low in the 80s.

I had a manthey one that I destroyed at the track... I was told a year or so ago that to replace it was $1800 and that is exactly the same time that I made the switch to cup splitters :-)

Thats a Familiar car

That splitter should be used in conjunction with an RSR rear wing.. And no it isn't mounted.

I'm currently running a cup car front lip, but I'm now looking for something more. I really like the GMG version as it includes the under tray with ducts to the factory brake ducts, but I dont have any rules to abide by so I'm after one that extends further forward.

It would be nice if the person who makes the GMG version could modify it a little for me

I'd like to get a CF splitter, but it would be broken in less than an hour.

I found it interesting that the TRG CF front splitters M97 vintage use an adjustable front splitter. the part of the lip that makes contact with the corner strips and pavement are replaceable as well as adjustable. Further the replaceable part is CF wrapped plywood/redboard (cost savings) and the under tray is sometimes made of Kevlar, which is less likely to splinter and is more $$ than CF.
