Can someone name this part (Aero)

I can't seem to find any info on this splitter that attaches to the 99spec lip. I've never seen it before and I'm wondering if anyone out there knows who makes it?



Thanks

I have made one of those out of black ABS. Little time consuming, but not too tricky. Trace, cut, sand and paint (optional)

but i would also be curious who makes one ready to buy!

Thanks for the responses. Wow almost 300 views and not a definite answer.

I'm thinking this is not a direct application meaning it's either homemade or retrofitted from some something else as Brody pointed out. I'll continue digging and if I come up with something, I will update this thread.

Update: Brody may have something - This is the 06-07 STI lip





I'll have to take some measurements but at around 40 bucks it's worth experimenting.

The rx7club community rocks, you won't find this kind of mature helpful stuff on the various FB groups, at least not the ones I'm on...... to be blunt, they're a complete shitshow

This forum is awesome.

Thank you very much for the confirmation! Once I get this going, I'll document it for others.

What is stopping me is that my 99 lip is yellow instead of black and I know that I wouldn't like the look because it needs a continuous line. That is exactly why my lip is yellow, it links with the sideskirts via color.

See below to see what I am talking about:



Edit:

This thread is essentially what I am after:

Looks fine. Will also add some protection to the actual 99 spec lip against scrapes

The FD is getting a bit older so a double chin doesn't look out of place to me.










Plus, it gives you an excuse to say chin chin.

In the instagram shots that show the side of the car I have to admit the front lip's lip looks pretty good with the side skirt's side skirt.

Its literally like he said "I'll take two of each, thank you."

But it worked out in the end.

How does he drive this thing? I scrape easily and my car isn't even that low.
