I couldn't tell for certain from the pictures, but does the splitter extend rearward all the way to the front wheel opening? From ASC330's picture, it looks like it might.
A poster was asking in another thread if the M7 front splitter would be legal for DSP class in Autocross, and whether or not it goes all the way back to the wheel opening would be the deciding factor.

Thanks - my laptop screen is bad for picking out black objects among shadows and other black parts, so I wasn't sure. If it only goes as far back as the rearmost edge of the bumper cover, then it's DSP-legal for autocrossing.

As Gnatster mentioned it only goes back as far as the bumper cover. To be very honest I do not think it would provide any assistance at Autox speeds. I only notice a settling down of the front end on the track and above 70 or so. The faster you go the more of a " groove " you seem to find .

Oh, I wouldn't expect it to provide much benefit at typical autocross speeds. In fact, I think most of the rules regarding aerodynamic add-ons in the "lower classes" (Stock, STS/STX, and DSP) are just to allow people that have added non-functional (or minimally-functional) aerodynamic pieces to continue to use them without getting bumped into a higher class. Unfortunately, due to the arbitrary nature of some of the rules (no endplates on rear spoilers, hatch-mounted spoilers can't extend more than 4 inches beyond the bodywork in any direction, etc etc), a lot of wings/spoilers/splitters probably get disallowed even though they don't have much of an effect while autocrossing).

Good info I just didn't want to lead anyone on in thinking that this would be much of a benefit in a Auto X event .
