Okay, several people have asked about getting these front clips... here's the breakdown:

Front Clip Option 1
-Opaque gelcoat finish (ready to paint) made mostly of fiberglass, with some carbon for strength
-Please select grey, white or black
-Cost $490 plus $50 for tooling recovery*

Front Clip Option 2
-Vacuum infused, clear finish made of 3 layers (6K, 11.4oz twill weave carbon, 1/8" core material for infustion, and carbon/kevlar hybrid twill
-Cost $785 plus $50 for tooling recovery*

Splitter Option (not required and can be mounted to other front clips, provided they have a level mounting surface)
-Carbon fiber, leading edge is reinforced with extra layers of carbon fiber
-Reduces ride height clearance, splitter's overall thickness is slightly over 3/8", (.390") (on my car this splitter sits 2" from the ground, while the front donuts are 3.5" from the ground)
-Care should be taken to mount this as level as possible for maximum benefit
-Cost $280

Shipping-required for all options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
-Figure between $80 and $180 for shipping using FEDEX Freight, must be shipped to a loading dock or can be picked up at a FEDEX Freight facility

Timing
-Please allow 2 weeks for construction
-Orders can start IMMEDIATELY

* Tooling recovery-This cost is meant to recover part of the money that I used to initiate this project including: purchasing the original air dam, shipping, constructing the tool and constructing the mold

Place the orders through me and I'll work with Mike Cudahy of Prototype Composites to get you the parts.

Here's a pic of the clip and splitter installed on my car:

The clip is only the shell, so one must devise their own mounting scheme.

I bolted mine throught the 916 Oil cooler opening on the front and then some brackets hold the back end of the splitter... allowing me to adjust the angle of the splitter as required.
