I heard people talking about it, but havent seen anything yet? I wanna see too :smile:

Is it a splitter type deal? Or is it a front lip?

Is this the one you are talking about? I found it over on Helix's website.

It appears to be of the same design as the hamann replicas, but im not totally sure about that. I have seen the replica in CF for sale on ebay for around 250.

I've seen this on the helix site too. I like it but I still think M7s is better looking. M7s is probally more functional too, but I could be wrong.

M7's will definitely be more functional. Thats assuming that this one looks like the hamann one. The hamann one has room for air to go above it but below the bumper which might give a tiny bit of downforce, but the M7 splitter doesnt allow air past it and forces it up over the car which is how most splitters work.

If this is in fact the hamann type design, i would be afraid of it falling off. I know fracky (sp?) has had many problems with the hamann falling off at speed, and getting damaged. CF isnt exactly the strongest thing to put up against scraping possibilities.
