If my logic isn't skewed, the lower the diffuser is to the ground the more effective it can be (look at NASCAR or F1 front wings for example). Who knows... anxiously awaiting these products and no matter what a functional splitter is more effective than a cosmetic one.
Pm me your address so I can send you some updated hardware that a few have been having issues with.

I've stood on my splitter and my bumper didn't deform, I'm not saying it isn't possible but unless you're racing I don't see it deforming from highway speeds. Lower cars will produce more downforce.

Since it seems like a main concern is rigidity we are looking into splitter ties. I can assure you we are not giving up on this project and will take care of the early adopters as best as we know how as we improve on the design. Thanks for all of your support .
