Thanks
Hard to say how many hours, suffice to say, a lot lol.
Most of the time was tinkering with the design as well as making templates etc.

Are you going to start a list for those interested in the group buy? Can you at least start the "interested" list prior to finalizing the cost for those of us that want in on this? Thanks.

there has been enough interest expressed already for me to proceed with a GB.
The GB will be relatively small to make sure things go smoothly.
All going well, another GB can run if there is more interest.

Please add me to the list of interested once you start the list. I've been watching your work and I am impressed with the final product. Hope your group buy list starts soon.

I was just struck by a weird bump to my funnybone. The M lip is called Mstache. This assembly could be thought of to look like a beard, especially in black on a white car. Might be inspiration for a name for the thing.

Thanks for doing this and sharing with the community!

Really the best front splitter design for our cars!
Captures and augments the OE lines while adding downforce. Win win! Until your design, I thought VRS was best for augmenting and improving OE design. Only down side with VRS pieces you can tell they are not OE; your design looks OE! Okay sorry about the fanboy rant, but this is truly bad azz!

Update 4 A teaser update of prototype in action

Theses are from a recent track day at Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Quebec.
It was an absolutely awesome couple of days and the car never felt so planted.

I like that last one, with daylight under the inside front tire. Reminds me of a shot of my car on the Tail of the Dragon.

Fabtastic!
One of the reasons I was happy to see these shots is that there is little to no deflection down.
It shows that the support method is working well.

The other interesting thing is that I torture tested it as a plow.
I pulled into a blind downhill drive that turned sharply left at the bottom.
When I got out of the car I had a shovel full of gravel sitting on top of the lip.
...no damage done

Done the same with my cheap plastic lip.
Damn construction zones
