I just had APR make me one. I dropped off a cardboard template and they cut one out for me. They included a bunch of bolts and nuts and 2 turnbuckles. They are fiberglass with a layer of carbon on top.

Any pics yet?

I'd like to set up something that is secure, yet easily removable for pulling the car into the trailer.

yeah that looks to be a real pain to remove tho. and a good functional splitter is going to have to be removed to be loaded into a trailer.

And Allan Blaine is getting my trunk this week and car after sears so I should have info and prices on both in 2 weeks.

The splitter I'm having designed will come off with a couple bolts and will abe a lot lower than the one you have there.

Functional is relative. The lower the better, but that all depends on your spring rates and suspension travel as well as how much you are willing to trade off the likelihood of damage versus the downforce you gain.

You may need that bolt-on capability for at the track replacement....

yes that too, you can adjust the height and its made from 2 pcs so you can replace the half (or both) that you break.

Sorry it hasn't been done earlier. Allen's been busy.

And by height I meant where he has it mounted (the radiator support) is too high imo. (I've run one there for ~1 year).

Sounds like a good design.

I might add one other touch. A local racer I know has lost his splitter so often that it now says "please return to XXX XXXX" on it. He says it really helps get it back to him after races....

Awesome job Kel!

Unlike some people.. our cars are dual purpose (street / track).
