A few finished teaser pictures with a real camera for once. Realistically the splitter ties blend in pretty well with the front bumper.





Excuse the GoPro but I had to get some video at speed . She did tremendously well. Expect a video in a few days as well.

Just to clarify, does the race upgrade include the vanes as well, or just the support rods/hardware?

I apologize, I realized a few days after I took the picture that I forgot the vanes. The race upgrade is for the vanes as well. These increased downforce an additional 64% over the front splitter! However, it did come at an aero drag penalty of 5% over the front splitter. We thought the positives extremely outweighed the negatives

Another question... can the splitter be removed and the factory plastic piece put back on, or does installing the splitter mean the factory piece won't go back in after?

I'm looking at this, but if I can't remove it and put the factory piece back in for winter (go Canadian winters!) I might have issues.
