FS - Carbon fiber splitter + hardware

For sale is a brand new, never used carbon fiber splitter. This is a universal piece and you can cut it/form it to any bumper you guys have thrown on your 8'. I originally bought it for my SAAB, but that car has been sold. I was going to use it on my 8, and I actually really want to - but I need the money right now. It's more then wide enough for the RX8, and it looks like there would be enough material left over to use for some other pieces like canards, etc. The rods are fully adjustable, and the rubber stripping covers the edges of the board after you cut it.

This was bought and shipped from the UK, for 210GBP, not including shipping. (Shipping was 50gbp). This all works out to $426, or $344 not including shipping.

I'm trying to sell it for $270 shipped. I don't know how much shipping will cost, but 270 shipped seems like a pretty good deal. I'll do it for 240 if you can pick it up locally. Here's the pics! Let me know if you guys have any more questions.

Sold

Also, here's a link to the website. http://www.carbonmods.com/

Anyways, here's the pics!

The board is only maybe a 1/4" thick, it's not going to make your car lower, though it will force more air to go into your grill/radiator/intercooler (if you're lucky) instead of going under the car, and create more downforce.

I had read a relevant topic that MM had written about this once, but I can't seem to find the post. Basically, he was said that the single most effective thing to do to improve cooling on this car is to install a splitter according to his findings.

Wait what? Does this replace the stock airdam? The way you are describing it sounds like it goes under the bumper right? But we have that stock lip/airdam that is in place there.

You place it under the airdam, just like a splitter on other cars. This doesn't replace anything. Attaching it to the bottom of the front bumper, and extending it out a few inches will redirect airflow to flow through the grill/over the front end instead of under the car.

Picture for reference:

That looks pretty good. It shouldn't be a problem at all to cut this, especially because any imperfections won't be seen. I'm surprised they didn't make your stick out a little further though! But maybe they didn't deem it necessary.

240 shipped, 200 local pickup.
