Nice, so somewhat abradable, but not as fibrous as Tegris or as heavy as Jabroc?

Correct. Tegris would have just priced this out of the market so had to come up with a better solution.

It is an abrasive material, not fibrous at all. Similar to that of ABS but withstands more damage. I've had it on for 2k miles now and small bottom outs have happened, no major damage has been noticed though.

The splitter is 1/2" thick and weighs under 10 pounds.

Edit: Partner in crime responded before me.

Splitter weighs in at 9.8lbs.

Is this able to take cone hits at 80 mph without damage?

If your bumper can this definitely can. Way stronger

If I were to buy one, would there be a way for me to contribute real-world data for the downforce measurements on the splitter? I like your analysis, but I think it would be cooler to get data that takes all of the car's shapes into account.

Put the car in a wind tunnel, without, and with the splitter. Just takes $$$.
