ITT you may vote for my aero
I can't decide:
1 - "R" lip and 3-4" splitter, full undertray. 2 - GV (knockoff urethane) lip and no splitter, full undertray 3 - GV lip with splitter, full undertray 4 - Other (mention below please) Car is mostly dailied, my main reason for aero is highway stability and looks, trackdays when I can afford to (years from now). TIA |
I vote #3 but didn't you already have one?

I voted for #3 but my setup is basically #2. I'm planning on adding a splitter soon, my car is track only though...
|
I had an authentic GV (other option wasn't out yet) and it developed some big, authentic cracks... My biggest concern with 3 is ground clearance.
|
hard to say without seeing your ride height... GV lips only look good to me on a slammed car. Since you're even considering a splitter, I'm gonna say you're not that low, so I vote #1 on a daily driver

4, Rharris RB bumper and wood splitter.

i voted #3

3. I will end up with the same, probably. Right now I have an H-D racing "lip"/air dam, no splitter. May just add splitter to it if it doesn't drag.

I still want that bumper that Rob was talking about doing for the track guys... Sigh... If you want a RB front bumper, get ahold of John at Axis Power Racing. He has one he is trying to sell. Pretty reasonable price too and is in decent shape as I saw it when I picked up some carbon parts a month ago...
However, for your purposes as it will be daily driven and see little track duty... I vote #2. |
Does anyone have any measurements comparing the difference in ground clearance between a GV and the R lip? Even though the votes are 9-6 for a GV, I think for ground clearance I'd better use the R. After all, I (read: my dad who, in his defense, hadn't driven a low roadster-type car since college) smashed up my GV and adding a splitter could add up to 3/4" on top of that.
OTOH, #2 is basically what I had before (plus a bit more aerodynamic functionality), and I've raised the car 5/8" since, and the knockoff GVs are much more durable. Plus, I'd wager the undertray material wouldn't need to be as thick if it were an actual splitter. Here are a few shots to show my height: http://hphotos-sjc1.fbcdn.net/hs431...._2266879_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._5397503_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._1896593_n.jpg |
I'm impatient, just bought a knockoff GV. Going for #2, as I can easily morph it into #3 for track duty later and keep it streetable with the lip off.
Where can I buy the plastic for the undertray? |

So how much undertray are you planning? IIRC, there was some debate about running a full tray because it could keep the airflow off the trans and dif. |
As much as neccessary I guess. I'm going to do more homework on it when I get home this evening. Searching from iPhone is less than ideal.

That car is so nice.
