Please post details here as well. I don't think you will have a good turn out there with 300 members.

You might have seen it that I tried a full carbon fiber splitter before and it was very flexible, so it took 2 metals support rods (import tuner style) and an aluminum (maybe 60 inches long) bar mounted on the bottom to stiff it up so it was freeway speeds worthy. But if it is stiff on its own it might work well!

P.s. the 1st post here has the info on my old splitter I had extreme dymensions 65 1/4 inches by 6''. Yours look better and more promissing though.

Awesome progress Lakeview, could you please lay this one under the front end of the XF and snap a few photos for sure to see how the shape is going to contour? Thanks.

I'm going to get one of the 66in splitter for some pics. I talked to them today and they are going to do group buy. But the owner is in china and I will workout everything when he gets back.

Looking at it from here in Iraq, I don't see why it wouldn't fit. It has the right curves. I like the carbon creations on the best!

Ok members this is the deal for the club. The company is JSP America located in Buffalo Ny, they have sponsored me twice before. All club members are getting dealer cost + shipping. The company person you need to contact is Linda at 716-871-1592. Tell her you are a member of crossfireforum.org and Paul Kulawik set this up.

The first item is the katana lip spoiler that can be used on the front, side skirts, or I have seen them sold on ebay for top of rear window.


They are 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 tall and 48,53,62 long price 28.48-36.98

The next item is a carbonfiber wiper wing they bolt to wiper arm and help push wiper to windshield. I think the price is $30.00


The next item is a carbonfiber L shape splitter that mounts in front of rear wheel stock # cf3006 price $64.95


The next one is a flat corner carbonfiber splitter that mounts on front corners stock# cf3005 $64.95
