If anymore CF splitters are being made I would like to be on the list. Thanks

We made one that goes under the front bumper, but it came out a little heavy. If we can get it under 10lbs it will be a reality, unless the guy building this stuff realizes what it really costs him to build these parts.:eek

Paypal sent for the exhaust surround. I'm also interested in the front splitter and a rear diffuser. Just a suggestion if anyone is doing the rear diffuser - radius the corner a little so the diffuser won't scrape as easily. This may affect lift at ultra high speeds, but if anyone were to run the Silver State, he can always put the stock diffuser back on.

To do the rear diffuser I would have to take mine off and get molds made. IMO I think the front/side splitters, the diffuser and the exhaust surround should have been CF from the factory.

What do you guys think about replacing that ugly aluminum dash panel with CF?

I live next to Arcadia, where the CF surround is coming from and I have an new unused diffuser that I can loan to you to have a mold made, if you are interested.

Also for those of you that asked, its a 10mm socket with ratchet to remove the bumper and about 10 phillips head screws to remove and re install the exhaust surround. I did it in about 1/2 an hour with the help of my 3 and 4 year old daughters. :thumbsup

Thought there were child labor laws in Fla:rofl

Any directions for the removal and reinstall of the CF exhaust surround?

Jerry - From an albofaz earlier post- he used child labor in Fla.

I just want to give you guys an update, I'm trying to get the rear diffuser done right now as well as the dash. I should have pictures of the front diffuser shortly.


BTW has anyone figured out how a piece this nice is being built and shipped for so little? I've asked the guy making the parts several times and he swears he's even making a little money doing it! I wouldn't even look at touching something like this for less then $1k.

Geeeze, stop asking that. Why don't you just send some e-mails to the newly elected congress and tell them your not sure how the can run this place on a mere 3 1/2 trillion a year.:rofl :lol

I was shocked that mine was not broken. It said fragile all over the box and it was smashed in top and bottom.

Did we use enough bubble wrap?
