New 2 piece splitter for the 996TT
#31
Very similar to what I had made in cf from a friend of mine that does tons of cf aftermarket parts. But not on/off in 2 minutes. Needs to be lifted a few inches, ie ramps and then about 5 min to remove.

Yes. I had him design something to apply directly. No mod needed to stock, but I do have the aero dam vs stock dam.
Also just saw my aero has slipped off the tabs! Doh. Will need to pull up my dam.

Splitter cables
I see that you are running to stabilizer cables to your splitter from the license plate holes. I've thought about doing that, but was unsure how strong that would be, and if I'd just rip out or ruin my nose. What have you done to make this work, and have you seen any deformation?
Help!
Thanks

Sorry for not being around this summer. Life got in the way. Quick summary. I installed the splitter (very easy to do) and love it. It takes less than 3 minutes to install/uninstall the lower piece, which I do every time I put the car on my trailer as my car is low.
I have had the car up over 155MPH on the back straight of Watkins Glen without a worry. My only worry was would it hit any curbing I take, particularly into the "bus stop" at the Glen which I take full on. No issues there either.
Because life got in the way this summer, I cannot honestly say I felt the difference or saw my times go down. I only did 4 track days this summer so most was recurrency driving. Do I believe it helps ... yes? Can I prove it yet, no. Maybe next year when I am at current and at the Glen for an advanced day I will try a few laps with it and a few without it. to see if it affects my times. that's really the only way to prove anything. Feel is mostly BS if it doesn't lower your times.
One other comment. On the look, it is fine, but I will likely cover mine with some carbon fiber tape to make it look a little better. The gloss black is OK, but it doesn't look like a factory quality part with that paint on it.
Would I recommend it. Definitely. Very reasonably priced, well made, easy on/off. What's not to like

I've seen plenty of people just add a big wing and go no faster to slower initially because it's not balanced.

Done properly, no stress on front bumper. I couldn't begin to tell you how to do it though.
