Front Splitter

Hi all, im new to all this, but are there any non-carbon fiber front splitters out there? i really would like to get one and paint it, but hate to spend the money on a carbon one just to paint it. i really like the M7. Any suggestions?

Bavarian Autosport has one that's not carbon fiber and I think costs around $200. I know there is another non carbon fiber splitter out there but I don't know the manufacturer.

You can cut one out of ABS plastic. Trace of an existing splitter or create your own on a sheet of cardboard and use a band saw to cut the templet. Its easy and will cost you no more then $100. Here's one i did last year on my Miata:

Would like to see pics of that on a car. Kinda hard to tell what it would look like installed.

That's pretty sweet looking & would look hot on your car Jim. If I didn't already have the Hamann splitter, I'd probably do something like this. I didn't see a price listed for the VIS part - do you know the cost?

I had one from DUZ in Japan on my R56 JCW and probably will sell it because I have a new car. It is very unique if anyone is interested. Cost me $500 new and has a few scratches. Here's a photo -
