It can take damage. I'm not sure it would survive a crash head on above 10-15 MPH, but I don't think any front lip or splitter for this car would. These are production cars, not carbon fiber covered honeycomb monocoques specifically built for racing. Keep the questions coming guys, we don't mind answering them . |

Yessir, and that is the worst part of this. I don't like not reaching a deadline but it's better than sending out parts that can't be used on the track.
We're looking at having them shipped to FT86SpeedFactory by early September. The bottom bracket has to be cut and bent, then anodized black like all the other components. |

I received a PM earlier today about the kits. Again, we apologize for the wait but this was necessary in order to provide you guys with a kit that will work as designed. The sheetmetal component was promised to me by the 25th, anodizing shouldn't take longer then a week. These kits should be available early September.
I will have video and pictures shortly (fingers crossed). Thank you for all your patience. |

The lower support should have been done last Monday, hopefully they will be finished this week. Needless to say, I am also working on finding a new vendor who can hit due dates...
Once they are finished I will have them off to anodizing that same day, get them back in a few more days and send them off. I'll have video and pictures as soon as they are finished as well. Sorry again for the delays. Eric |

Those of you who bought the first, non-logo'd, splitters will have to PM me *when they purchase the race upgrade* and I will send out a full scale drawing to drill the holes for the bottom strakes. Thanks for your interest, I think you guys will really like the kit . |

Parts are done, packaged, and headed to FT86SpeedFactory. A few teasers are below!
Kit Components Total weight Installed I will work on getting videos highlighting the features of the kit, the kit in action, and me placing unrealistic loads on the piece this weekend. I don't want to recommend standing on the kit because that is *not* what real world conditions assert on the parts. However, I have stood on the splitter and it takes the load just fine. |
