New splitter. Options for the 951 splitter/undertray are not very expansive, so here's another one.

Turns out the lip from the 996 Turbo/Carerra S fits a 951 with minimal modification. And thanks to the Chinese, replacement lips are available for $60.

A bit of forming with a heat gun is necessary, at which point you'll need to cut off the "legs".


The downside of this lip is that it is not an undertray as well. So, I bought some FRP board (was hoping to find ABS but unfortunately was more expensive than I wanted to devote on the trial run) and made a splitter out of it.

It sits LOW, about 3" off the ground. For that reason I had to be conservative with how far forward my splitter juts out. I'm thinking of drilling another set of holes 1.5" further back for "track mode", to have the splitter jut forward a bit more for track duty.


The best part? Cost me about $105 total, including the cost of speed nuts.
