Finally shipping...

Thank you for your patience, we finally got the Aero splitters in production,
and I think you guys will dig it. The unit fits like a glove on the Aero kit
and gives the kit an attitude that was missing previously.

I also want to apologize for the less then stellar image quality, but we have been slammed with orders from all over the world. which leaves
little time for cool photography.

The first unit did go out to a NAM member today, and he promissed us
some excellent images of his MINI with the splitter......Thank you.

The price will go up to $329.00 in begining of February as the cost of making this larger piece + more hardware has gone up.

And while we're waiting for that, maybe a pic or two from different angles so we can see the shape better.

Not possible as the first unit was shipped.....

And yes, SS stand-offs are still used.

All I can say is wait and you shall receive more images.

It's CF layed up on glass core, no wrap needed, as it would be a waste of
expensive and by now fairly hard to find 3k cloth....

The first customer that we shipped to has it mounted and photos are expected momentarily. As for fitting the non aero car I think the answer is NO. The back is shaped differently as the aero grill is quite a bit different underneath. We discussed having the standard splitter with a notch in it but it would make it less effective as well as not follow the shape of the car. With the notch the amount of surface area in that section will be a lot less , more like the Hamman unit. If you get a chance to look at a Hamman equipped car look straight down over the front of the car. You will be surprised how much actually protrudes out where it can do something.

We got the first few in yesterday and they are going out to the first on the list. If you were to order today we should be able to ship by the end of next week.

Wow, that looks soooooo good! I can't afford the whole aero kit but I might just have to buy the front bumper just to get that splitter.
