So... as a heads up. Just mentally prepare yourself for possibly smashing the splitter.

I have the F32 and have gone through 3 of these in 3 years. 1 - my kid borrowed the car and hit a parking block, 2 - I misjudged a parking space and bumped into the curb, 3 - a LARGE steel cargo buckle was left on the freeway off ramp and I hit it at 60+ mph.

The splitter sits about 2" below the front end so it's going to get the brunt of road debris. And being 2" lower, you'll scrape driveways and uneven roads. When you park, it extends about 2"-3" forward so it's easy to bump into things... and it doesn't really give so it cracks.

Personally, I suggest getting the ABS plastic ones which are about $150-ish shipped on Ebay (Ikon motorsport or Bayson R). You can wrap them in gloss or matte carbon fiber. Fit and finish are on par with the OEM models.

Just a friendly idea.

Lightweight is awesome if they make one that fits your car
