Their cars have it all.

Yea the custom Racebred splitters look pretty nice, just a bummer they can't make large ones.

Been slowly cranking these guys out over the past couple months. Production is painfully slow thanks to COVID.

Only 3 in the photos are for evos. Still working on polishing the some of details for these but happy with how they're turning out thus far.

Nice man. If I were to be critical on improvements for a moment, the front mounts are "too simple?" Most of us SHOULD be running some kind of crash beam up front, I had one made of solid aluminum about 10 years ago that I still run that would interfere with that impact area, as would STM's. So I'd look at getting STM's at least and making it so it either mounted behind or a new bracket to fit one or both?

Then you need to start making Voltex style ones, and then carbon ones

I have a tubular aluminum crash bar on my car. I make and sell rod mount collars to mount rods to those style crash bars. I've sold around 20 of them this year so far. Just filled out an order for 6 more yesterday! Here's an old photo of them on my car as well as a customer's miata I'm setting up:





The blue car in the photos is rocking a knock off Voltex bumper. It's a Gridlife Street Mod car so he's limited to 5" extension, and it's within 2mm

The next evolution of the mount setup is incorporating Pro Awe quick releases so mounting and dismounting the splitter is a completely tool-less affair.

As for carbon that's something I've had my eyes set on for a while. I'll probably make one for myself this winter or next spring. Probably won't be something I bother selling until people are comfortable forking out serious money for aero.

Haha I've always got new ideas. I've got some neat small stuff I'll be doing for the evo over this next year. There's a lot I don't talk about because putting stuff into production is a long and intensive process for one guy 😅

If there's enough push I'll jump haha. Came really close to buying a resin infusion setup last winter but space was still an issue at the time. Hoping to have more space before winter but we'll see how the cards fall...

that's really all we're missing at this point. Dan's doing Ti stuff, Dal is doing Alum/Steel stuff, now it's your turn.
