Functional Carbon Front Splitter Interest Thread

You should make a fiberglass version for the show cars and a CF version for the go cars.

You will probably sell twice as many of the fiberglass units.

id be interested! maybe you guys can come up with a rendering of what it might look like...

corner3garage · 12-06-2010, 06:41 PM

will work on it asap!

I hope it doesn't look too extreme i.e. extending far in front of the front bumper, but I know functionality might dictate otherwise.

I'm in for a rear diffuser that fits the nismo. At least a CF cover for the stock one lol. If u build it they will come..

I'm glad you're doing this. I'm all set for splitter and rear diffuser, as I've gone the 1-off route... wasn't patient enough to wait for someone to create a true functional set... here's some design inspiration for the rear diffuser

FYI - early testing on this diffuser seems to indicate that I'm not picking up much if any downforce. Will do some data-logging on it soon... But without supporting aero, it's not producing much benefit. Just something to think about...

I have a functional front splitter as well that is held up by a custom sub-frame and 4 quick release latches + 2 struts. That works pretty well for me and the struts are probably redundant even with the ~5in lip at track speeds.

that rear diffuser is mean a$$ hell.

thanks. overkill for street car, but perhaps it can be dialed back a notch and used by the OP as design inspiration if people like it

The goal was to make it functional for track duty only and sized for this car - the fact that it came out looking big and beautiful was a bonus, lol

It will of course 'look smaller' once I have it powder coated in flat black
