We're waiting on vendors to produce the parts we designed. We will keep the thread updated as parts start to arrive. I have received 100 rod ends thus far, the rods are on their way, and the sheet metal components should be done shortly.

Thanks,
Eric

group buy price?

glamcem · 07-28-2014, 08:59 PM

some photos from the NASA NW event (Pacific Raceways)
splitter seems to be holding just fine at 120mph+

glamcem · 07-28-2014, 09:00 PM

No group buys, sorry. This thing isn't cheap to ship due to the dimensional weight assigned by UPS.

Maybe my incident was a freak occurrence, or an installation error/irregularity. Regardless I've had mine back on for a while now, and it's more secure than ever, with a few extra rivet nuts and the hardware changes that have been implemented. Still waiting on that race upgrade to be released

lol

@glamcem, the car does look great! I may have been wrong in how effective bumper mounted ties are, you can clearly see them working. I would still rather move that load to something metal, but I'm glad that she held up at 120!

@Kwaziekeller, I'm glad the parts got to you and everything is back together

. I'm anxiously awaiting the parts to come in so that I can get them anodized and then shipped out

oh I sure will, because the extra safety never hurts

keep us updated about the race version upgrade, I might also add some sort of wing (thinking APR GTC 200) down the road since I now have the supporting aeros to benefit from a wing

Got mine installed the other day. Forgot it came with the rivet tool so i got a local shop to install. They screwed up on one of the rivet locations so I am short a rivet. You able to tell me what size of rivet i should be asking for when i go to local fastener stores or auto stores?

Thanks, Looking forward to race provisions

That wheel fitment! Love it!

They are 3/8 OD, M6 x 1.0 rivet nuts. If you cannot get one, contact me, I have a few laying around I could send you.

Just got my side skirts put on and man they complement this front splitter and the DWL rear diffuser. Sorry for the terrible lighting.

I just need to snag a set of RFP1's like the poster above and I'll be completely happy with the outside appearance on my BRZ.

You're welcome, not often are wheels done right IMO, but that... is all the right kinds of RIGHT!!!

So exciting news came today in the mail! I'm probably way too excited about these parts but they look really good and I can't wait for the sheet metal parts to be ready for pick-up and then everything will get anodized black!

***Disclaimer*** The other brackets will reduce the rod ends sticking out as far as they are right now. Also, no jam nuts are installed yet, this is for mock-up only.

Thanks,
Eric
