NA Miata Splitter
Anyone interested in these? I have a template for the NA version to go with the oem front spoiler. They will NOT be a direct knockoff of TDR's splitter. I appreciate member inputs for aero improvements. I will get prices hopefully by Monday.

Are you trying to **** people off??

I can also reshape them to make it more aggressive. But there will be only 1 design.

Let's see there's knockoff gv lips, fm rails, r-package spoilers, and lips. Obviously if it's cheaper there will be buyers. I do not intend on pissing people off. If you aren't interested then by all means buy the real thing. To me a piece of plastic isn't worth that asking price.
I am simply passing on my savings since I have access to replicating these and also changing the design based on any inputs. For example I can extend the back to make it more aerodynamically effective (think underbelly pan). But if people here will frown on this, then by all means please delete this thread, and I will only make one custom version for myself for you to drool over.

Don't knock it off directly. Just change the front so it's even and not recessed then make it deeper for better flow. Big mushroom shape. If you want to unwind peoples panties go back and edit your first post so it doesn't sound like are just going to copy TDR exactly. By the time you do a mushroom shape the material and shipping costs will jump considerably though.

This is more my point, your free to do what ever you want, and people are free to buy it, but why just copy it. Then to Boldly state you copied it, and not to expect a little negative feed back. If you improve or even modify it, and then if you can sell it at a more economical price no one will balk. But just copying someones work and undercutting them is a bit weak.

It will end up similar to braineack's picture. I may extend the back to make it more aero, but that will up the costs (in materials, shipping, ect).
Preliminary material is 1/4" ABS. There will be no CF at the moment.
More info on Monday when I bring a template into the shop.

Ok they just called me with a price quote. I would be able to sell these for 85 shipped, including nylon hardware for the installation. They are similar to the TDR splitter but without the indentation in the middle. In order to get it for 85 shipped, I only need 4 people to commit.
Anyone interested?

It is basically the TDR splitter without the indentation in the middle. It will go smooth straight across the front. This effectively gives the splitter more surface area.
