Aluminum honeycomb.

This would not be street friendly.
Interesting strut brace.

It's been sold for years, with absolutely no problems, breakage or other questionable, flimsy problems. As a matter of fact, the splitter does last longer if it gives a little at impact.

The red Mini #98 is Vesko's Mini out of Salt Lake. It is built to NASA USTCC (United States Tourning Car Championship) Spec's. Unlimited suspension work. Limited engine work. But his MINI S is very fast. Runs in the top 5 cars in the series.
I believe his splitter is solid aluminum. It's allowed to be 4 inch infront of the bumper and go under the car to center line of the front axels. Vesko's splitter would not last on a street as it is only, if that, one inch off the ground. In two races Buttonwillow and San Jose it was torn up during the race.
Here is my splitter as used on the USTCC #58 MINI
Here is the whole bottom of the splitter. It is attached to the bumper and comes off as one unit.
The material we used is an Aluminum Honycomb Composite
I run this car both on the track as well as on the street, I've only had to watch out for steep driveways but then I run the splitter about 4 inch off the ground on the street.

So, any feedback on how it is working on the track? Straightaways? Cornering?
