I'm waiting to confirm it goes back to the subframe. If it doesn't, I'll cancel. Not sure I want to go through all the trouble and expense if it only goes, say, to the end of the bumper cover/front of the wheel well like the APR.
If it's not what I want, then back to square one.

Tis the evolution lol. Started with plywood, moved to 3 or 4 versions of alumalite and now on carbon/fiberglass haha. If you find the combo shape that works realitivally well, you may want to have someone try a carbon copy just to offer that option since it's not like you need to stock them. Would give you the rounded front and other liberties as well.
I've already confirmed my design clears the Racefab pan and the TRE trans cooler plate. As for rounded front edge, it's really only needed for guys chasing podiums and records, but I do have a streamlined shape edge trim I offer for the front as an option.

Carbon is something I have a very hard time justifying. For just the price of a carbon splitter I can build someone an entire underbody aero package (splitter, barge boards, diffuser) and performance of each piece won't be much worse than if they were carbon equivalents.

The race face fab isn't lower either. It's that it extended forward where the stock one doesn't exist.

The splitter Austin designed and we built above is for my car. I have a racefab pan and an AMS 3" turbo back. I dont have any clearance issues at all.

Same can be said regarding wheel clearance, I run 18x10.5 and a 275 NT01. No issues.

Gotcha. Assuming the splitter is flat and straight, I guess I didn't really think of being any kind of issue. I'll have to tackle that problem if it comes up. Hmmm....

Getting V2 brackets cut soon. Switching from steel to a thicker aluminum and if it's not too much additional cost, some weight reduction features as well.

Ya it's not the pan sticking DOWN but it's extensions to the right that ran into my tunnels, racefab puts it right against the OEM oil cooler line paths so there's literally no room to go "up in there".

Curious as to why you have your diffusers that far backward. Normally they're in front of the wheels.

Much wider not further. Voltex's arch from the outside edge of the wheel to about an inch past the racefab pan.

I think I need a pic to understand your explanation. General rule of thumb is to position the diffuser centered on the gap between the inside of the tire and the chassis/frame.

And here I thought they were moved slightly outboard, so that cut forward wouldn't be continuous........
