I live on a hill with the driveway pointing across the face of the hill.
With the stock splitter, I have to back out of my driveway with the nose pointing uphill, even though I need to go downhill to get out of the neighborhood.

Obvious comment Otto, you don't get much downforce till you get closer to 100 mph ??

Charlie Murphy had a hell of a time driving my Cup car from his shop to Behe's with the front splitter.

What I like about the splitter is that the replacement is about $300, so it is made to fail. I would recommend that you consider the replacement cost of the splitter because it is a consumable This car the 997.2 also has a factory splitter but no “FAL” and gets tagged everywhere. Of course the replacement is $$$. Because I’m a slow learner the car is in the shop this week getting lowered another 10mm

Even more fun with left foot braking. I would suggest putting a couple of walnuts on the seat when you first try. Once you stop breaking the walnuts, then you'll know that you're comfortable with the technique.
