Nope, made my own, several places, using 4 well nuts ( rubber things) and 11 large head rivet that explode on back side.

N2MINI is selling them on here, search splitter. $70 shipped , covered one side in black, bottom is white, looks to have been cut from a sign perhaps, it's 3/16" lexan so kinda a flexi but lexan is far stronger than acrylic, it's the same material Nascar uses for windshields so it won't crack or shatter if you hit it, well I bet I would rip it out of bumper cover first.

I spend $60 on support rods, $15 on alum machined washers that spread out the load. $30 in rivets and well nuts and SS hardware.

I trimmed about 1" off back side to fit better, the aero is not the same shape as regular but I like the look.

Hardest part is getting to back side of bumper cover to mount supports, pre 2011/10 have more options, the new covers don't have much for a good mounting point .

I've had it up to 80 so far so good, it's 95% for looks but should affect downforce around 100 and may be pushing more air into intercooler and radiator.

I may suck it up and get a M7 CF one, but at $360 I wanted to try one out and see if I liked it first. Depends on how many times I scrape it, I allready scraped bottom going into a store driveway , just minor scrape marks.
