Wasp Composites Front Splitter
 
If you're looking for a solid front splitter that won't break the bank for your FR-S or BRZ, I would highly recommend Wasp Composite's Chassis-Mounted Front Splitter.

I was introduced to Wasp through a fellow enthusiast, Devin, whom I met at an AutoX event in Chicago this past Summer before I moved to LA a few months ago. Having participated in several AutoX events, I wanted to take my driving experience up another level so Devin and I got into a conversation about his track experience. He showed me his S2000 front splitter and I was immediately impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of it. I proceeded to do my research on numerous alternatives but when Wasp, soon after, came out with their FR-S/BRZ front splitter, Devin let me know and I ordered one right away. Wasp offered the best price for the quality (Retail: $600. Was on sale for $550 shipped one time since I was one of the first three to order).

I recently brought in my FR-S to Wasp Composite's shop and I couldn't be happier with how my front splitter turned out (I opted-in for their 3" chassis-mounted front splitter). Customer service was impeccable. Bryan and his team at Wasp did an amazing job creating my product, keeping me up-to-date the entire time, staying in constant communication with me, and providing the level of customer service that they did before and after my purchase.

The front splitter is super light at just under 6 lbs., very strong (mounted to 6 points on the chassis), and has been tested on an FR-S at the track (with the splitter both on and off the FR-S). They offer installation at their shop for anyone in the California area and include installation hardware for those who order their kit. After having an opportunity to speak with the guys at Wasp, I also learned that they are very well educated when it comes to aerodynamics. I found out that they work with top winning teams in Redline Time Attack with drivers such as AWD Street Class Winner, Mark Jager.

Here are some before and after pics of my Argento 2013 Scion FR-S and my custom-fabricated Wasp Composites Chassis-Mounted Front Splitter:

Big thanks to Bryan and his team at Wasp Composites! Thanks guys!

Feel free to reply to this post with any questions or comments, PM me, and post your pics if you also have aero from Wasp Composites! Enjoy!

That looks legit. I think I'd go with black trim molding instead of the red. But either way, that's a nice piece of hardware

Thanks JoeC. I was originally going to get black trim but then got some ideas after scrolling through some other aero pics online. Thought I'd give red a shot. Asked the guys at Wasp if they could do it and they were able to pull it off, thankfully. Very happy with how it turned out!

Im extremely interested in their 5" splitter but concerned with I guess you would say fitment adjustability. Still haven't finalized my front end components(radiator[s], IC, bumper beam etc with my swap.)

OmarGC - Their 5" splitter was my original order but I decided on the 3" for now (at least until I get a truck and trailer so that my FR-S doesn't have to be street driven to the track). My FR-S front end components are all O.E.M. so they of course mounted my splitter based on a stock chassis setup. In your case, once you finalize your setup and if you want, I can get you in touch with Bryan at Wasp so that you can discuss possibilities of custom mounting locations with them. Let me know.

Interested to know if it clears either HKS or Jackson Racing's Engine Oil Cooler with 3" chassis-mounted front splitter.

Who do I contact to purchase one?

I've sent an inquiry to I believe Zach at Delicious Tuning but I haven't heard back from him yet. Is there a website that I can order off of? (Wasp's website?)

Thanks in advance and it looks great!

Wasp Composites Front Splitter
 
Interested! Looks great! +1 on the black trim vs. red. I'd like to see one with a FMIC before I go all-in.

@fx35s - I'll send you a PM with Bryan's contact info to ask about fitment and purchase. You can e-mail or text him as well but he prefers a phone call. He's usually busy making splitters so calling is the best way to reach him; otherwise, he will at least respond within 24 hours via e-mail or text but again, over the phone is easiest for him. I can also have him call you if you prefer. Check your inbox and let me know once you receive my PM.

@ecko04 - Do you already have a FMIC installed? If so, which brand/model? Or, if you don't have one yet, do you know which brand/model you're interested in getting? Bryan and his team can determine compatibility after you let me know.
