@Hancha Group @plucas Noticed you mentioned the bar can be made from fiberglass, carbon fiber and carbon kevlar. What about tegris? Since its cheap(er) and strong.

We will look into this.

Tegris is more difficult to have made in shapes. Sheet is easy but we can look into the cost. Earl know more about that so hopefully he sees this and comments

Sorry everyone, I've relocated and took me a while to get settled in. Tegris is extremely expensive to form and requires an investment on par with stamping steel. It can be bonded in sheets and machined though, but because of the depth required for a bumper it is more economical to do it in carbon fiber or fiberglass.

Thanks for that. What about ABS plastic? Any updates on ETA?

Give em time. I don't think most people understand how much time, effort and money go into creating something new.

The splitter is almost ready to be ordered. It should be ready soon. Development takes a while, especially since we are not just slapping parts together. Plus we also do engineering consulting which takes up a lot of time as we are not just a parts supplier

oh I had a question do you have to have an existing splitter for you part to work? because I see the mock up wood splitter beneath a polyurethane splitter on the red car pictured

The lip is needed for an FRS but not a BRZ
