Diverged Concepts: An Adjustable GTS Splitter

I really thought I was done with splitters after getting the Ahacarbon GTS style splitter (which I still really like), however not terribly long after getting that one installed a few months ago Connors5453 turned me onto the Diverged Concepts GT/GTS splitters that also have an optional adjustable lower splitter piece. After trying to convince myself "I really don't need this." for a few weeks, I finally broke down and bought it...

I have the same splitter but sadly still sitting in my garage. I swear I need to fly you out to NC for a day to put it on and while we're at it swap out my dme so @enabled can tune it.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it on your build too.

Too bad we're not closer and I don't head that direction very often (although I did have a layover there the other month on my way back from GA). A mod day would be fun.

It's debuting soon, not fully released like the M2C version.

Hey FaRKle! Where can I get more information on the front backing plate you created for the other splitter? I like the rivnut idea since this is my track car.

I'm actually thinking of making a few sets of the main backing plate and rivnuts for sale. You should be able to adapt them to any splitter that has a large contact area over the center bumper (like I did with the Diverged Concepts splitter).

Still not seeing it unless I’m overlooking. This may be my next lip if they release an OG model.

Lip looks really good! If it was a bit lower to the ground (by lowering the car or maybe adding more rake) it would actually generate some actual downforce via the venturi effect (ground effect), which would be nice if mounted sturdily enough.
