What's the dimensions on that? (roughly)

I would be interested in figuring out how to get/purchase 3 of these if you have success with your prototype.

I'll gladly share the STL or make some prints if my printer has decent yield. It's a ~$500 print from Shapeways or Sculpteo, so that's always an option too. I might do that for my personal use since I'm just building the exact car I want with no compromise.

Why not just buy the Verus one for $190 instead? Is there something you prefer about your design or dislike about the other design?

Honestly? Nothing wrong with theirs, but I just like the GR86 Cup car's design. I bought an STI wing from Japan solely because I've always wanted to build the "perfect" car in my eyes and that's as OEM+ as possible.

I would prefer to not give Verus any money though after Clay got a big head and thinks they can't possibly do anything wrong and took a dump all over people on the ND Miata track group that had issues with their Verus splitters ripping the Verus designed mounting through the bumper, ruining both in the process.

Yeah, I do like the GR Cup design. Yours looks good, too. And I can appreciate what you're saying about Verus. That's a bummer.

FWIW, the Ford OEM vent for the GT500 mustang looks pretty similar to the GR86 cup car vent, near perfect fit and pretty cheap.tps://i.imgur.com/lpueB8H.png[/img]

I'm very interested into this! Can you please post some pictures of the finished work?

makinen · 04-13-2023, 04:55 AM

That Ford vent introduced at 2016.

Thanks for the pics! Not so good looking IMO...

DocWalt · 05-26-2023, 03:04 PM

Ignore that I clearly would need to print with supports, but this looks awesome. Finally had time to run a print overnight and it looks awesome. It's VERY open for airflow, I'd think it would flow more than enough air for most folks.

I'm going to work on a design for a water/leaf shroud to clip to the bottom for street use, I think. Probably shorten up the print as well, it doesn't need to protrude into the bay quite as far as I have it doing.

DocWalt · 06-23-2023, 07:36 PM

Test fitting the center section, you can see where I had supports on the mounting lip:
